Q. when you get to the apartment, what happens in the apartment?
A. Well, I had been wearing Scotty’s boots.
Q. Okay. Let me show you what’s been marked Plaintiff’s Exhibit No. 18 and admitted as such. This is a pair of boots, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you recognize these boots?
A. Yes, I do.
Q. Tell the jury about what the deal with these boots was?
A. Those boots are Scotty’s boots. Scotty was doing Labor Ready work. I had let him wear my boots, and he had really scuffed them up at work and stuff. When he showed up at my house that night, he was wearing brand spanken new boots. I told him he should let me wear his new boots, since he scuffed up mine so much. It took him a while, but he finally agreed to let me wear them. But when I got back to the apartment —
Q. Where were you wearing these boots?

Kurtis and I correspond long distance as penpals. I look forward to his letters. We discuss many topics including our Christian faith. Kurtis studies much on his own and has much to share.
If the person who died was your child, mother, father, sibling, aunt or uncle would you still be defending someone that has knowledge about the crime at question and didn’t stand up and speak for the victim? You are not a victim Kurtis nor an innocent bystander you had knowledge and had an ignorant ghetto mentality to not cooperate with authorities. You put yourself in prison don’t blame that on the justice system.
If you did more research on the subject, you would know that he did not even touch the victim. Law enforcement and the legal system railroaded Kurtis and those who stand behind those who did the actual murder are politically motivated. God’s justice will prevail eventually, but in the meantime, Kurtis could always use our prayers.
