  1. Thank you for posting the petition. This murder case is still open. We need people to go to the petition and sign it. It is my hope that someday, all the suspects in this case will be brought to justice,
    so that my family can finally have closure and peace.

  3. I encourage everyone to go to this petition and sign it. Our family has no closure on this horrible arsenic poisoning murder. The woman who was convicted and sent to prison is now up for parole review. I am asking people to also help us by sending protest letters. Please email me at the email address on the petition for information on how to send protest letters to keep this evil woman in prison.
    Thank you. May God bless each and everyone one.

  14. This is yet another case in which the real murderer can logically be traced and the convict in prison is another of their victims. This practise seems common in America. Debra Baker needs rescuing from your justice system and its murderers.
