I am very unhappy to report that my husband’s case my be appealed. His lawyer told him after the outcome that the plaintiffs may try to appeal but that they really had no grounds. Now it appears they may try to anyway.
This whole thing has taken a toll on my husband. Even before word of the appeal coming, he had not healed from the first trial. It is devastating news that this could be hanging over our heads again, and that it may force my husband to be dragged through the legal system for more years. He is stressed out and not himself. I worry constantly about the effect it is having on him.
I ask you dear friends for your prayers once again, that this will not happen, that their appeal is not accepted as necessary or valid, so that my husband and our family can move on with our lives. Please help pray for this end. It is a nightmare.
Lord, once again, I come before you asking that you will look favorably on my husband and have this case remain as it was found. No good will come from bringing this all back to court again. The justice system has spoken and now the plaintiffs wish to undo what was found by a jury of 12. This does not seem fair, and is causing my husband such distress. Please shower him with your mercy and not allow this appeal to go forward. My husband’s sanity, as well as his ability to function each day depend on this. I am begging you Lord, to hear my petition for my husband. I ask this through the intercession of Your Most Holy Mother, Mary.
