It passed. All of her hard work came to fruition, which is symbolic of the mission of this show and the Something Was Wrong community and everything you do with Broken Cycle Media, taking our experiences and making change, whether it's directly legal change or it's awareness through listenership.

Yes, thank you. I want to highlight the fact that it does feel like a continued battle for justice, but it's also become like a continued battle to lift the veil on the proceedings of the criminal justice system, how it actually happens and how victims are forced to navigate it virtually almost forever.

Listeners, I think the last time they got an update on what came next was it was a sentencing hearing. where my brother received 36 years to life. There'll never be enough words to express my gratitude for your presence there that day and your continued presence and support.

But about five days before my 40th birthday, December 20-something, 2024, I did receive an update saying that he was up for parole in June of 2025. which was a huge gut punch. I didn't really understand. He was sentenced to 36 years to life for new charges, but he's still up for parole for my mom's murder.

And people do a double take when I say that because they don't realize that this is the process I'm stuck in. As much as I have comfort in knowing he's not going to get out of prison per se, I don't want him to ever be paroled for my mom's murder. If he is, then I'm not considered his victim in the system and I won't be notified if he gets released.

There are certain privileges victims are given, resources that I don't want to go away ever. And so I am going to fight for him to never be paroled. And then I received another notice not too long ago saying that unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, I have a very layered view of this action, but he has postponed his parole hearing for a third time.

So that 2025 hearing in June that he was supposed to have is now scheduled for sometime in 2030. So that is a good thing to a certain degree. There's five more years of his sentence for my mom's murder. But on the flip side, I do just have to kind of like persist in this system. And I have to keep writing my victim impact statement for five more years and psyching myself up.

Just a wild, wild ride.
