I feel sad for this young man. It IS a cautionary tale about how young folks should avoid quick “pick ups” and easy sex as the results can be tragically life altering. It is a tale that I will pass on to my sons. It would be interesting to have someone follow the chains of command in this case so that the ultimate responsible parties can be zeroed in on and publically exposed and protested.

If a family member were arrested for “knee capping”(not killing...just knee capping) some of those responsible for railroading this young man and if I were on the jury, I would never vote to convict!

Thank you so much for your reply! You are wise to talk with your children. Of course Kelly regrets his mistake, and I will know there will be some folks who would think he deserved punishment. Then there is the question, how much punishment and whom involved is really telling the truth?

The fact that Kelly was not able to provide information during the trial to defend himself against the charge of rape and kidnapping is just unreal.

I know Kelly's heart and the only way readers here can get close to knowing Kelly's heart need to take the time to read the letters written by those who know and served with him.
