Quote From: luckypinkI am very proud of my daughter, she is someone to be proud of. She was not going 65, I know that on the police report it states that but the next police report states that she was doing between 35 and 40, she was going that speed because what was left in the car she was taking to someone elses house, she had no intention of stopping there. There was a lot of her story that was left out unfortunately, like the fact that her first attorney was appointed by the prosecution as a special prosecuting attorney and he would be working side by side with him and it seemed like a conflict of interest. Brandi has had to have a lot of help to remember the parts of the night that she has, and during this time there was a witness that come forward and told the same story, however, her new attorney said he knew him and that he was a crack head and would not be usable in court, we later found out that the witness on the other side worked for the attorney that took over Brandi's case, now to me that was a real conflict, but we didn't know until after the whole deal was over. Now it makes since why her attorney would not talk to the other witness that said the same thing happened as Brandi had said, that she was driving out trying to leave, then he stepped out between 2 trucks, and not being an experience driver Brandi swerved to miss and clipped him with the front of the car. The car had red paint on the front of it so she had hit something else as well, later we found out it was the mailboxes, but she doesn't remember that either.
Thank you for taking the time to ask the questions so they can be answered, the reason Dr. Phil seemed to take Brandi's side is because he has all of her legal paperwork, so he knows the truth.
Brandi's MOM
Dear Brandi's Mom,
I truly hope you get to read this. I have written many messages on here regarding my credentials, my knowledge of non-verbal communication that clearly showed she was telling the truth, and my experience and knowledge of trauma and dissassociation.
I was also railroaded for crimes I never committed. I know she is innocent and the slandeorus things said about her make me sick.
She is a remarkable woman with the strength and courage that most people will never have. After watching the show and her reactions it was so clear she was telling the truth.
What I would like to know is this: Did a CSI investigator compare the tire tracks to see if they match the tires on your car? If the tire tracks don't match she will more than likely get a new trial on that alone. Are there pictures of those tracks? Do you have receipts showing what tires you had on your car? This simple piece of evidence that has been used to damn her could be the very thing that sets her free.
Please get a private investigator to check this out.
I'm sympathetic and praying. Most people will never display the courage and character your daughter has.
Hope this helps.
