her daughter was watching emily for a few minutes and was riding her on her neck when her hands slipped and she fell backwards onto the cement from her shoulders, she hit her head and was knocked out.

i wanted to express to you how i felt at the vicious conduct of fred hell towards you earlier today, but i did not want to post it to his thread.

as a general rule i avoid posting to troll threads; it only helps them to get their rocks off.. i just wanted you to know how much i admire you and admired the way you stood up to him today.

insensitive people like that do not think about anyone else, only themselves.

Jesika

I just wanted to thank you all for your support and LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

N.H. Supreme Court upholds conviction of man who sexually abused girl

(AP) The state Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the conviction of a Bible-quoting man who sexually abused a young girl, starting when she was 4 years old and ending when she was 10.

Paul Berry, 46, was convicted of 17 counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault two years ago. He was sentenced to 56 to 112 years in prison, possibly the longest sentence ever given for sexual assault in the state.

appeal said the trial judge should not have allowed evidence that he also physically abused and tortured the girl. The judge allowed the evidence to be introduced to explain why the girl waited until she was 17 to report the abuse.

also said the trial judge should have allowed testimony by two defense witnesses who would have said the girl had a reputation for lying when she was a young child.

The judge said the testimony represented only the opinions of a few people and it had no bearing on whether the girl was telling the truth years later, when she reported the abuse to police.

The Supreme Court said the girl "believed, during the years she was sexually assaulted, that she was destined to live in constant fear and that the assaults were never gonna end."

The assaults included hanging the girl by her wrists from hooks on a barn wall and, on another occasion, tying her to a tree, according to court records. The girl testified that , a Jehovahs Witness, quoted Scriptures while forcing her to perform sex acts. She also said he struck her and threatened her so she would not tell her mother.

"The physical beatings and verbal threats ... explained why (the girl) became resigned to her fate as a victim of repeated sexual assault. It also explained her belief that reporting the abuse would be futile, thereby giving context to her delay in reporting the assaults," Justice Joseph Nadeau wrote for the court.

The high court also ruled that Judge Arthur Brennan had the discretion to exclude the testimony of two defense witnesses.

"The witnesses testimony was based upon the opinions of a small circle of children and their parents. The trial court found that this community was not of significant size and the evidence, therefore, was unreliable," the court ruled

Oh honey, I have been there too. I don't know if what helped me will help you, but I kept myself very busy and around friends. Then I found a guy that treated me even better than my ex (which I didnt think was possible). We all greive for a loss of love--either in death or otherwise. Just give yourself some time, and please don't go back and put yourself through it again like I did. Hurts even worse than the first!!
