A Massachusetts jury got this one right!!!! May Sandra and her baby rest in peace.

If only the prosecutors didn't give immunity in exchange for testimony who were complicit in s*x trafficking and abuse of girls.

BREAKING: Jurors in the federal trial of former Stoughton police detective Matthew Farwell have reached a verdict.

Full video before my stitch by Sleuth Syndicate who does great investigative work.

Why is this NOT being addressed? Coercive Control laws passed in Massachusetts in 2024 recognizing it as a form of abuse.

One person walked away UNharmed.
One person profited by $MILLIONS.
One person had motive.
One person had a plan.
One person centered self at the children's funeral.
One person is a techy.

Where's the questioning?

I pray the survivors will feel some sort of justice will be served. That powerful men will be held accountable too

Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison following his conviction for one count of r*pe and three counts of s*xual assault against four women. He is expected to serve 2/3 of the sentence.

Brand's lawyer effectively admitted to the r*pe as well during closing remarks saying; Brand had a ‘short and momentary failure’ where he ‘did not respect her consent.'

The sentence follows a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court, concerning offences committed between 2004 and 2009. Brand was also acquitted of two further r**e charges and one count of attempted indecent assault.

Today's sentencing hearing brought into focus not only the seriousness of the offences, but the lasting impact on the women who came forward.

In her victim impact statement, the woman Brand was convicted of ra**ng described how the experience affected almost every aspect of her life. She spoke of losing confidence, struggling with trust, feeling unsafe in public and abandoning her ambition to pursue stand-up comedy.

She also described the particular difficulty of trying to move on while Brand's fame meant he remained constantly visible in public life. She said his wealth, influence and celebrity status had made her feel powerless and afraid that she would not be believed.

The prosecution argued that Brand had exploited the power and access that came with his fame. It asked the judge to consider the most serious sentencing category for the r**e conviction, seeking a term of 10–15 years, with a 12-year starting point, and 1–4 years for each of the s*xual assault convictions.

The defence argued for a lower sentence, describing the offences as isolated incidents and asking the judge to consider mitigating circumstances, including the impact imprisonment would have on Brand's wife and three young children.

Brand is involved in two other ongoing r*pe investigations and 10 other women have come forward.

What does it mean to recognize our shared humanity in a world increasingly divided?

Join me in conversation with my mentor, friend, and teacher, Frank Arjava Petter, author of "WE, We the People", as we explore belonging vs. conformity, self trust, compassion, personal responsibility, and the divisions impacting our world, including within spiritual and healing communities.

Together, we explore how to acknowledge harm without losing compassion, establish boundaries without abandoning connection, and sow good seeds even when we cannot control the outcome.

This is a conversation about looking inward, taking ethical action, and remembering that meaningful change begins with each of us.

Addressing Root Issues and Reclaiming Ancestral Power

I am posting this late. My nervous system needed a BIG pause especially with the election to breathe. A history of CPTSD can do that and I've learned to choose what I need over posting.

I feel like I am just getting to a place where I can share this now from the hearing on Monday 11/2/26
