Steve and I believe<br \/>\nthere were at least four co-conspirators involved in Morgan\u2019s<br \/>\nStalking and death, perhaps even five. If you were Morgan,<br \/>\nstalked and murdered, leaving out the complete indifference and<br \/>\ntyranny from the Sheriff and Coroner for the moment, if all five of<br \/>\nthe really responsible parties were arrested and tried would you be<br \/>\nsatisfied? It becomes a very difficult question for Steve and<br \/>\nI. Just what is justice? We know we will never be<br \/>\nable to bring Morgan back, ignored as her stalker is now the overwhelming<br \/>\nchances are he will just do it again. Look at the tragedy at the<br \/>\nend of the Boston Marathon. What will justice be for all of<br \/>\nthose victims? One thing you can probably be sure of \u2013 the<br \/>\nperson in charge of that investigation will never go on TV and tell<br \/>\nus all how many officers checked the finish line and they never saw<br \/>\na bomber. Nor will they refuse to recognize that next time they have to<br \/>\ndo a better job, or face the same result. They will examine<br \/>\nhow this happened and employ a new protocol that prevents it in the<br \/>\nfuture, of that I am very confident. Just as confident as I<br \/>\nam that no person in charge is going to go on TV to say, \u201cI am<br \/>\nnever going to open an investigation\u201d. There will be an<br \/>\ninvestigation that includes whatever it takes. And to know<br \/>\nthat is going to happen is reassuring, not nearly enough to<br \/>\nsooth every heart that has been broken in this horrific crime, but<br \/>\nthe knowledge that the full weight of justice is waiting for every<br \/>\nperpetrator of that crime is the first tiny step. For Steve and I<br \/>\nto sit with the Honorable District Attorney of Garfield County and be told a truth we<br \/>\ndid not want to hear, but one that had unfortunately happened.<br \/>\nThat the Sheriff&#8217;s department has so<br \/>\nthoroughly botched the investigation of Morgan&#8217;s death it<br \/>\nwas uncertain what could be done now. While a very big ray of<br \/>\nlight has come since that statement, it was quite painful to hear<br \/>\nat the time, and remains to be a concern for me. But that<br \/>\ninstant of honesty has allowed me to focus on that which will<br \/>\nlead to convictions, instead of that which will never make it to<br \/>\nthe courtroom. And then, in the murders at the Boston Marathon, if<br \/>\nthere is a Coroner involved and victims find &nbsp;a need to call him, I<br \/>\nbet the Coroner will answer the phone or return the call.<br \/>\nDoesn\u2019t that even sound ridiculous to say? But it is<br \/>\ntrue. The Garfield County Coroner has never spoken with us,<br \/>\nnever answered a letter, and never agreed to a meeting. At<br \/>\nsome point I have to believe he could be hiding something and treat<br \/>\nhim with distrust. I had to contact the Coroner of Mesa County in<br \/>\nGrand Junction in order to have Morgan\u2019s samples preserved for<br \/>\nanother year. There is one answer that I hope will come from<br \/>\nthose remaining samples, the pathologist does not believe we will<br \/>\nget anything of use, what I have been told leads me to not<br \/>\nagree. The contracted pathologist who autopsied Morgan will<br \/>\nallow a test to be run on her remaining samples only if the results<br \/>\ngo to him, definitely not to the forensic specialists who will be<br \/>\nordering the tests. Or to Steve and I, who will paying for<br \/>\nthe tests. The results have to go to him. What\u2019s he<br \/>\nworried about? Someone seeking justice? Does any of that<br \/>\nsound like justice to you, or does it sound more like<br \/>\narrogance? From where I sit today and from where I have been<br \/>\nforced to sit for the last 623 days, I would not call what has<br \/>\nhappened to Morgan justice, no not justice. Tyranny &#8211; yes, abuse of<br \/>\npower \u2013 yes, failure to treat the victim of a crime with fairness,<br \/>\ndignity and respect \u2013 yes, but justice \u2013 no. Justice for<br \/>\nMorgan? Certainly not! It will give me absolutely no<br \/>\nsatisfaction to now file all the complaints to cover all of the<br \/>\nrules broken or ignored that were meant to protect Morgan, and<br \/>\nSteve, and I. But I will file every last one, because the<br \/>\nnext victim needs a better protocol to prevent the same outcome<br \/>\nfrom happening to them. Morgan was filled with love, and her love<br \/>\nfor a person she never met is going to help save their life from<br \/>\ntheir stalker. I believe that just as certainly as I am<br \/>\nsitting at a keyboard typing these words right now. In fact,<br \/>\nit may have happened already and I just don\u2019t know it. Does<br \/>\nanyone think that abuse of power, arrogance and ignoring laws is<br \/>\nthe way to improve our world and protect the victims? I<br \/>\ndon\u2019t. Then why is it not only allowed to exist, but allowed<br \/>\nto continue on?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When law enforcement arrests Morgan\u2019s stalker and her murderer(s), is that justice?
