In January 1999, the sister's Kathleen inmate ("Kathleen") and one younger brother Curtis inmate (hereinafter "Curtis") were father's girlfriend using a gun owned by his father Mr. Sonja Nicole Speis (then 29 years old) was killed.


The incident occurred that his sister in Cocoa Beach, Florida, was home where he lives. In the announcement right after the incident, the two siblings were believed to be the offenses because the father was jealous of thinking about marrying with Speys, but the content hidden in the subsequent investigation will be revealed . According to the report prepared by the child welfare organization, the two sisters continued to receive sexual abuse by "living together of the family" different from Spitz from early childhood, and the brothers who can not tolerate it It was gradually becoming clear that the crime was reached.


One night before the incident, Kathleen was taking a shower and suddenly noticed the sound that the door of the shower room was opened. When the surprised Kathleen looked back, "a family living together" starts to enter from the door. Kathleen cried in the corner of the shower room fearfully and gave a cry, but the living man was lost in masturbating while looking at her situation. That night, Kathleen wrote in the diary that "we all have to kill."

The voice calling for Kathleen's help never came to anyone. It was the younger brother Curtis who took up her cry solely. When Kathleen confessed the damage of abuse to Curtis, it was discovered that Curtis had received similar abuse from the same living person. Two older siblings who had lost their escape were to plan to escape from the situation they were placed by killing the living with their fathers as the only solution and the girlfriend, the father's girlfriend That's why.


My sister Kathleen plans the plan and Curtis agrees to assist this. The weapon they used was a semi - automatic gun of 9 mm in diameter which was stored in the father 's bedroom.

First of all, the partner who two people were aiming was Speys. It is clear that Mr. Speys had nothing to do with abuse, but the two of those days may not have left such an extra margin. As planned, his younger brother Curtis set up a gun and launched bullets for Spies. Where did you notice the magnitude of the crime you committed, Curtis goes into a state of confusion. Kathleen tries to calm his younger brother, but the two frightened escaped into the forest near his home. And, as it was, the next day my sister and sister came to discover the place hidden in the forest by the police.

At that time the case was taken in the United States with a great shock. Two siblings who were boys at the time, but at the trial they received the same treatment as adults and there is a possibility that the death penalty or life sentence may be sentenced to the youngest American historyFirst-class murder chargesWas questioned. Ultimately by reasonable considerationSecond grade murderThe ruling was given, both of whom were sentenced to 18 years of sentence and subsequent observation over their lifetime. Curtis looking back to the lawyer and asking if he can bring his own Nintendo gaming machine to the prison, judged and decided to leave the court.


In the following movie, you can see the interview with Kathleen sentenced in ten years from the incident in 2009.

Kathleen sentenced person who looks back at the time in 10 years from the incident. "At some point, I was happily thinking that I could simply escape, and of course I knew that speaking like this is a funny story, but I was on my own There was a time when distance was placed from the situation and it was put in a safe situation by becoming alone, "he says a complex feeling.


Curtis and Kathleen who receive a trial in court with his father, Curtis Jones Senior. My sister had a mother named Stacy, but they said that when they were only about 5 years old, they left the house due to domestic violence (DV) from her husband. In addition, although the father had been charged with killing two people with a gun in 1989, he was later subjected to a misdemeanor as a justified defense.


Although there are various backgrounds, although they are sisters who compensated for the crimes they have committed, a new path is opening for each future. Kathleen got married in prison with Lemas K. Fleming, a US Marine Corps who met in correspondence in 2013. When Fleming was working in an aircraft carrier he saw Kathleen's article in the newspaper, and correspondence started from there.


In addition, his younger brother Curtis becomes a pastor and plans to leave the prison in May 2017. Curtis was imprisoned at the same time as his sister, but when the fence of the prison was destroyed due to bad weather, the sentence was extended because tried to escape with his colleagues. He tattoo (tattoo) written as "Mob" on leopard pattern on the left arm and abdomen is said.


For my sisters who have spent their precious time in their teens at the so-called "across the fence", it is not difficult to imagine how to return to the real society will be a big task. They have never used smartphones, never learned to drive a car, nor have they got a job. In addition, because of the lifelong observation, it is possible to say that we are going back to prison simply by making a small crime. Kathleen isA letter addressed to Florida Today"After having spent most of his teenage years and adolescence in prison, I will be released to a completely different society from the world I have been spending, of course there is fear. There are lots of things to learn as an ordinary social worker, I am a completely ignorant person, always being a 30 year old person reliably dependent on someone who teaches things is never attractive I will not leave the prison as ignorant as I was at the age of 13, "I wrote.

The crime committed by the two people will never go away, but on the other hand, if the past of abuse is true, the shadow cast on the two lives can not be said to be too big.
