At Archibeques sentencing hearing today, Judge Wetenkamp voiced her dismay for having to adhere to the States 1977 sentencing guidelines calling them far too lenient especially in a case like this one. Judge Wetenkamp addressed Archibeque and said there should be no parole for a crime such as the one you committed and to have roamed free for the last 30 years doing as you please. She then regretingly informed Archibeque of the credit of days served to be counted towards his parole hearing. {Less than five years} It was very apparent that this case deeply touched Judge Wetenkamp and she said she was struggling with her emotions to keep it on a professional level.
Archibeque’s parole being granted in 2013 is highly unlikely but one never can tell. I know what would help the parole board deny parole for this monster. You can write a letter in support of Justice for Mary. Explain how unfair it would be for parole to be granted only after serving seven years. I’m in agreement with Judge Wetenkamp and feel he deserves life without parole. Like Lori said, "Stand up and be a man Richard and tell us what happened that night". When you get to your final resting-place within the prison system, we will send you our address and maybe by that time a conscience will have taken root and you will explain to us what really happened that night. Only at that point will we change our minds and a recommendation on a life sentence. It’s an advantage to you if you try to do the right thing here Richard.
Your letters will become a permanent part of Mary’s record and they will be read everytime Archibeque is granted a Parole Hearing and begs for his freedom. Archibeque’s first parole hearing is seven years from his arrest date. This is standard. The Parole Board may then at their discretion decide Archibeque will have to wait ten, fifteen or maybe even twenty years before they grant another hearing. This is where those letters will play a big role in their decision on parole hearing frequency. And the cool thing is, your voice will be heard even if you’re in heaven with Mary.
If you like, you can send a letter to my email with "Justice for Mary" in the subject line and I will personally deliver them to the District Attorneys Office, where they will become a permanent part of Mary’s case.
