It's such a tragic story. I feel so bad for the father and so angry at the Brazilian justice system which has been apparently bought off.
i seen on dateline too. May God be with this man and his son. Lets all prey for his arrival home.
I followed your link and watched his interview on the video at the bottom. Very sad. I hope he succeeds in his case. Ironically, if the woman had stayed here with him, her real husband, maybe she wouldn’t have died giving birth.
Our future daughter in law and her parents and brother moved to the U.S. from Brazil about 20 years ago. Her father told me that one of the main reasons they did so, was because he knew that in Brazil, it was hard to get justice when you were wronged. He saw, from having spent time here in the U.S., visiting family, that people who robbed, assaulted, or murdered someone, would usually be caught and eventually punished. He believed his family would be safer here, so they emigrated. He and his wife have worked hard, starting a cleaning business. Both the kids went to college, Sarah graduating from Law School last year, and her brother going into Finance.
