Well, we are still waiting on the results of that "good news" I mentioned! Please keep praying about this! I'm just going to go ahead and throw this out there for all of you to read and I may have written about this before but it's just eating me up!
Yesterday, I made a trip to the Department of Archives and History and found two newspaper articles on this case. In the newspaper, an officer at the time is quoted as saying "the murder is being investigated as domestic..."! Okay, here's my problem. First of all, the officer acknowledges this is a domestic situation because he knows. They all knew because they had been out and arrested Dari on many occasions. Secondly, the police (and this isn't the first time I've heard this from an officer) are already calling this a murder! This is one more instance of innocent until proven guilty NOT being alive and well in our country!
BUT not once during her trial was domestic issue or self defense ever mentioned! That really makes me MAD!!!!

NEW DEVELOPMENT
Let me just say we had an issue with the microwaves in the building she's in; the one that was working went out Friday so I called out there today and was told "well, you know, they tear them up and expect us to have a ready supply, they may just have to be without one for awhile until we can get one". I didn't get upset! I said okay! And I followed up with an e-mail to the Warden I spoke with and carbon copied the Superintendent (Margaret Bingham), the Commissioner (Mr. Epps), and Deputy Commissioner (Mr. Sparkman). I was on the phone with her this afternoon when the two new microwaves arrived. You should have heard those women in there; they were so excited to have working microwaves. I know that's a minor thing but to them it really isn't.
Now, the really exciting thing; we have some things happening with her case! I'm trying not to get toooo excited but at the same time keep my faith. I know that we've been praying for this breakthrough for a long time so, all I can say is keep praying, He hears us because little things have been happening here and there and a BIG thing happened in the last 24 hours. Her spirits are really good right now; going into the holiday's, she sounds upbeat and hopeful. She's claiming her freedom and so am I! Stay tuned!

The Mississippi Project
I am so excited about this recent development and I've been really working hard to get this going. There is an organization called The Mississippi Project that profiles cases of individuals in the State of Mississippi who are wrongfully incarcerated and/or innocent and they've agreed to publish a link and host the site for Thalia's story. This is AWESOME news and I'm truly excited about it! I am going to publish a link to the site in the side bar as well as here in this post. The link is: The Mississippi Project - Thalia's Story.
Please check the site for updates and to post your messages to Thalia. I hope we will have the comments page up and going for her soon! Also, take some time to read the other cases profiled at this site. This problem in Mississippi is unbelievable!
I will be updating on this site as usual but I have to say that this has kept me really busy for the last few weeks; things are happening in her case that are very exciting. Please keep praying; God knows the need! He hears all the prayers and He is answering them! Thank you to each one of you who follows and posts and I promise to keep things updated!

Update on Attorney visit
Well, things went well! Attorney says he can help and there are things she can do; just one hurdle to overcome; retainer fee! If anyone has any suggestions, I am open! I have a few ideas and things going on in my mind but can always use help. He is "appalled" that this has happened and I only shared with him a little bit of the information that has happened. But again, he says that this can be done; it's going to take time, money and commitment! He asked me and the other person helping me for our commitment to be there and involved every step of the way which we both assured him we would be. So, we are still back at the retainer! Prayer, prayer, prayer! Thanks for the encouragement AND please keep this on your heart and mind!

Please send postive thoughts this way!
The meeting with the attorney is tomorrow! Please send good thoughts this way for Thalia and her children. There has been so much happening with the kids that it's been difficult to keep things updated here but just a little bit of information for those who are watching!
Saturday, November 1, there was an emergency with Thalia's children so I called CMCF to get a message to her. The first time I called, I was transferred to the Chaplain and got voice mail. I hung up and called back and explained I needed to get this message to her immediately and was told that I would have to leave a message on the voice mail and wait for the Chaplain to contact me. Guess when the Chaplain called me! Yesterday afternoon! Of course, by that time I had spoken with Thalia and we were about 4 or 5 steps down the road from that urgent situation and into the next. I did inquire about hours and availability of the Chaplain to inmates and was told that there is NOT a Chaplain there 24/7; their hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. It kind of makes you wonder!
