Today will be a landmark day for women victims of attacks, assaults along with attempted rape, rape and murder along with rape and assault, I hope. I'm meeting with Congressman Tim Scott to let him know we need change of the 1925, "Crime Against Women Act", to apply all across the US.
We have laws, however, the prosecutors do pleas without victims knowing, as in my case. South Carolina has laws and First, Second and Third Degrees are to be treated the same because an attempted rape along with assault should carry the same rule because he tried.
Had I not known Jujitsu, he [Frederico Reyes] would have succeeded and killed me as the prosecutor, Ann Williams of Berkeley Co. MONCKS Corner, SC said before everyone outside, but she walked into the court room microphone off so I couldn't hear her, and plead him to Third Degree and x's [checked] "Nonviolent" on the sentencing sheet. I had no knowledge of the plea-bargain until I went to clerks office to get copies of legal papers related to my case. We thought it was a mistake, it wasn't. Ann Williams tried to keep me from getting copies. I had to demand copies from clerks.
From that moment on I knew the legal system had betrayed me and I had to do something about it, so they can't do this to another victim. I had to then fight to keep him in jail . I got a letter notice of Parole Hearing Sept. 14, 2011, after sentenced on Dec1,2010. I went armed with pictures of my bitten swollen mouth black eyes, and bruises and cuts from fighting him.
My mouth where illegal alien bit me 4/20/10 in during the fight to free myself from being raped and below my sister Joyce's picture at her funeral. I had found out she died in NC about 2:00pm the same day he attacked me.
Parole was denied after I showed them the pictures, crying as I relived April 20, 2010 before the Parole Board, who had never seen the pictures. Nonviolent took on a new knowledge that would change me forever. I vowed that word won't be used against another victim. As I have spoken many times since, "I don't want this to happen to your wives, your daughters, your mothers". I want something done about it.
"Soon you will be able to go on my blog ",Peggy Kandies's Journal", created for me by Steve Kritzer, "Weaver", in California. Today, I will tell Congressman, Tim Scott what we as victims want. All bills related to assaults, along with all medical, all copies of court documents to include transcript from court reporter. I have to pay $58.00 for copy of [my] transcript. Payment for mileage to all related trips to include parole hearings are not paid.
If you have any ideas please.contact me. I am going to make a difference. I have talked before Senators, and Congressmen, and today I meet with Tim Scott. Call his office if you have been a victim and tell how it affected you.
