I would like to express my apologies to the Althouse family for the grief, pain, and suffering I have caused. I take accountability for my actions. I am truly remorseful for my involvement in their pain and lost!
Everyday I think about my actions. It weights me down heavily and it causes me to correct my actions and seek repentance. I am not sorry because I got caught but I am sorry because a person lost their life and my greed and inconsideration of others is the reason I am here. I didn’t think that by me just dropping someone off and they commit a crime would cause so much pain and make a family a victim.
I am taking upon myself to diligently work towards rehabilitating each day to make things right. Since my incarceration I have to find a way to live with meaning and relevance and usefulness. I am making amends by following the guidance and directives set by the BOP programming educating myself with ACE’S classes and self directed classes and becoming a rational thinker. I am going to be a better man ,more productive so that I can return to my community and be an asset and also a law abiding citizen, community activist, mentor , and role model.
I have decided to rehabilitate myself and in doing so I realize that it wasn’t just solely about me but, to help others as well. We don’t thinks about how our actions affect everyone else esp.. the victims and their family’s , the community, the economy and most definitely their victimizers own family. In the Victim’s Impact classes its called “the Ripple effect”. I knew nothing about prior to my incarceration and how this effect gave cause to me be a victimizer. This effect also taught me what the homicide victims/survivors deal with and face such as; death notifications: identification of the body: funeral arrangements: the media and the reactions of the murder .
