Re: Meagan's Law

The words "may" and "possibility" reveal the value you place on your current life and the fear that you have of losing that life. Knowing nothing about your case I feel that you have nothing to fear because the past three years demonstrate your rehabilitation. I expect to learn that the assault did not involve a child of tender years. You should simply concentrate on finding the solution to your problem because there is one.
