Subject: criminal case against Brenda Melancon
Warren,
I received news a few days ago that prosecuting attorney, Paul Knight who was working on the criminal case against Mayor Brenda Melancon has been removed from the case. This is devastating to me and my family, and is a blow to the entire motorcycle community. Mr. Knight was attempting to do everything in his power to initiate some justice in the criminal justice system. He confered with me on several occasions and his course of action was a step towards resolution that would have been a positive outcome to a tragic, and catastrophic incident, and I had the utmost respect and trust in what he was persuing to find resolution.
Mayor Brenda Melancon killed my husband Jim Pickholtz on October 14, 2007 and nearly killed me. I have suffered devastating and permanent crippling injuries, lost my husband, who was not only the love of my life, but the father of 2 children and stepfather of 2 children, and the income earner of our household. His parents lost their son, his sister lost her brother, a nephew his uncle, and a community of people a dear friend. Jim was 41 years old.
I know that the case is now being handled by Dana Cummings, who is the Director of the Criminal Justice Department in the Attorney General's Office. I implore the motorcycle community to call or write to either Dana Cummings and/or to Attorney General Buddy Caldwell to let them know how important this case is to our community and that we cannot allow this case to be swept under the rug. A slap on the wrist is not justice. We need to stand up and let our voice be heard. There needs to be justice, not just law.
Thank you from the depths of my heart for supporting me and my family, and the memory of my husband Jim with your voices and your words.
Sincerely,
Amy Pickholtz |
