And with all due respect, with all this "constant praying" you do for Cameron, how much do you do for Jessica's parents?

They did what no parent should ever have to do: bury their child. To say nothing of their precious granddaughter Lillia, who wasn't even two years old.

Comparatively speaking, Cameron's parents are lucky. They can still visit their son, send him letters, offer support and encouragement and be there when he finally gets out.

Jessica's parents can't do that, and they will never see their daughter or their granddaughter again. And Jessica was only 24. Imagine what they must be going through. All the time they spent raising their daughter to be a good woman. And it was all for nothing, because Jessica was barely an adult herself when she died

And Jessica's husband David Raubenolt also had to bury his child and his wife.

Because Cameron killed them, with his thoughtlessness, arrogance and entitlement. No matter how harsh you think his sentence is, he's being punished for something he did wrong.

Jessica did nothing wrong. Her parents did nothing wrong. Her husband did nothing wrong. Do you ever pray for Jessica's parents to find resolution as they cope with what is arguably the worst grief any human being can feel?

Do you ever pray that David can heal and find love again and start a family again some day?

Apparently not, because you're praying constantly for the one who inflicted all this grief. The one who killed a young mother and her beautiful child.

Because he wanted to race his pretty new car.
