This could have been you.

Have you ever heard the name Sarah Kruzan? Well, until yesterday neither did I. I was watching a video about a woman who received life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus four years. I wanted to know what she had done, so I watched the entire video from start to finish. The young lady was neglected by her mother, because she was strung out on drugs and was never really around. Sarah had to fend for herself, most of her life. She met a man twenty years her senior. He was a nice man, because he took time with her. He took her and her friends to the skating rink and anywhere else they wanted to go. He paid close attention to Sarah and she loved it, because it was something no one had ever done. Sarah was eleven years old when she met G.G. and she had already seen a lot in her short time on this earth, but nothing compared to what she was about to actually experience in this thing called life.

G.G. groomed Sarah for two years and decided that by age 13 she was ready to become a woman. He raped and attacked her like an animal does its prey. From six in the evening, until six in the morning she was placed on the streets and held captive for three years by this man. A man who she once looked to as a FATHER figure; a man who had done what no one else had ever done; give her love and attention. After being gang raped for a price, beaten to fulfill John’s fantasy, forced to do whatever John’s wanted to do to her, she snapped. Sarah knew she couldn’t take down all the John’s at once, so she took out the source of the problem; G.G. She thought the beatings and rape was over, only to find she would once again be raped. This time she would not be raped by a John, but by the judicial system. Sarah was convicted at age 16 of pre-meditated murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Sarah is now 29 years of age and is still incarcerated, and she believes she will never see the light of day. What type of message are we sending our kids? Are we sending the message of no hope for rehabilitation? Yes, she took a life, but so did he. This could have been your daughter, your sister, your friend. Why are we allowing the judicial system to play Russian roulette with the lives of our children? Let’s persuade our children to put the gun down, start giving them therapy, and stop pushing them aside. Where was social services? I feel we need to petition the CIRCUIT COURTS for this young lady. Call Obama if you have him on speed dial. Call the local congressman in Riverside California and tell him to fight for this young lady.
Ken Calvert is the congressman for Riverside California his number is 951-784-4300. Also you can send him faxes like I did to 951-784-5255. Let’s overwhelm his office with letters, and let him know she’s already done her time. Also, contact the governor ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER at his office 916-445-2841 and his fax number is 916-558-3160. I will not stop until I see her set free, what about you?
