I ' m n o t s u r e t h a t t h e p a i n i n most of t h e s e
cases, people who no longer feel safe in their
homes, I'm not sure if that pain is ever going to go
away. You know? And these people are like us.
They're people that in all like -- that go out and
work every day, they're family people, they go to
work, they come home. They probably work hard.
And, if they can't go home -- if we can't go
home at night and feel safe in our own home and then
go to bed at night and sleep in our own home and
feel safe, then where can we feel safe, Judge? And
that's the end net result of what this defendant did
to those people, not so much what he took from them
financially, it's what he took from them
emotionally.
And, for those reasons, the state would ask the
Court to impose the following sentence: On three of
these counts, on one count, 10 years to serve; on a
second count, 1 0 years suspended, 5 years probation;
on the third count, 10 years suspended, 5 years
probation, all to run consecutive, for a total
effective sentence of 30 years suspended after 10
years to serve, not to run consecutive to his
Meriden sentence.
He had a number of cases in Meriden, and I
found out how many; I think there were five or six.
He went to Meriden, he disposed of those cases. The
prosecutors in Meriden and the Court in Meriden
thought those cases were worth the 5 or 6 years he
received down there. The State, in the State's
view, feels that these cases that we have here,
given the nature of the seriousness of them,
warrants, at the very least, 10 years in addition to
what he's serving out of the Meriden Court.
Thank you.
completely accurate.
morning--
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. PAKELE: --who had been contacted by the
probation department. He just requested I call him
with the outcome today.
THE COURT: All right.
MS. PAKELE: But he had nothing further to add.
THE COURT: All right. Thank you.
MR. GERACE: Joshua would like to address
before you--
THE COURT: Okay. Why don't we have the State
respond, and then--
Josh, why don't you go, and then we'll have the
State respond. Go ahead.
THE DEFENDANT: Thank you, Your Honor. I just
wanted to say that - - I'm sorry.
THE COURT: That's all right. Take your time.
Take your time.
I don't know if we have a tissue for him or
not.
THE DEFENDANT: I don't know why, but I always
thought that I could - - that I'd be able to do
everything on my own. I've turned my back on my
faith in God and my family. And, in doing so, I
fell flat on my face and deep in to hard drugs and
eventually led - - eventually deepened my depression.
The crimes I committed was weighing so heavily
on my shoulders that when the police did approach me
that day, I explained to them and sat down with them
and told them why and what I did, the other crimes
that I did and why I did them.
And the only reason why I did it was because my
daughter was supposed to be born within the week,
and I wanted a chance to start over and to start a
new leaf, I guess you could say. I only pray that I
have the opportunity to be able to raise my daughter
in the love and the faith that now has new meaning
to my life.
And I also respectfully and humbly ask if I
could turn around and express my apologies in your
court to my parents in front of everyone.
THE COURT: Well, I think you make -- I think
incarceration.
Anything else?
right.
