I don't think she'll ever be rehabilitated.

What do you plan to say? I don't know for sure. They're speaking from the heart, nothing scripted. But I just want to tell that parole board that they can't let her out.

God gives us free choice. And she made free choice that night to end her life. This wasn't a tragic mistake. It wasn't something that she didn't mean to do. She purposely did. meant to end their life. I understand back in 95 that through the state's law, life in prison meant 30 years to life. But ultimately to me, that's only 15 years per child. Her own children. It's just not enough.

Today, the committee made the right decision and denied her parole.

Just because... It's gonna give me another chance to stand up for Michael and Alex, to defend them and try to keep the sympathy off of her that she keeps trying to conjure.

I would say the top would be my faith in God. You know, I was mad at him for a long time. Me and him have had some heated discussions, but I never blamed him. But the second was not letting her win. You may have took my children, but you're not gonna make me bitter. You're not gonna make me mad at the world. You're not gonna make me take my own life. You're not gonna win.

Of course. Why? Because that's the way I was taught. I had to forgive her because it was just going to eat me up if I didn't. It was going to hold me back.

I've never really had any memories of them since they passed. I was told by, you know, psychiatrists and stuff through the years early on that that was just my self-defense system. It was protecting me from myself, but that they would come back. But, Craig, we're here 30 years later, as you said. And I still have very few memories of my electronics. And that hurts. It hurts.

You want vivid memories. Yes. Of course I want to remember them. I want to remember things I did with them.

That's all I can think it is. It's my own mind protecting me from myself because I still miss them so much that those memories would just hurt too much. And my own self knows that. And it's just saying, not yet, David. Not yet. In January 2025, David returned to John D. Long Lake.
