Tina Anderson Victim Impact Statement
Thank you for sharing this with us on the fb support page, a lot of us have had Tina on our minds and in our prayers. It's a blessing that she's taking a stand to get some justice after all this time.
ReplyDeleteI sobbed through this in May, and sobbed again as I read it, hearing Tina's cracking voice and tears in my minds eye. I am so very proud of the courage she displayed throughout the last year and the courage she continues to display by making such private thoughts and hurts open for others.
ReplyDeleteYou are loved Tina, and often in my thoughts and prayers. The strength you displayed is far reaching. You are an incredible woman!
Tina I'm so sorry for what you experienced. My heart broke as I read your words. I hope the judge considers all of this when sentencing your rapist.
