The waiting and not knowing is the hardest!

Well Reggie is in R& O now (receiving and Observation). That means no visits or phone calls to anyone until he is out. That could be anywhere from 30 to 90 days. He is basically in my front yard over at the Draper facility. I drive by almost everyday but I know he won't even see the light of day until he is placed in population. Mail is really slow....Im guessing they open every letter up and scrutinize it. It doesn't appear that Reg has received even one letter of mine yet. I have sent 8 so far and he has only been in there 10 days. I have received 3 of his letters so far.

At first Reggie was struggling spiritually in there. Too much time on his hands laying there and thinking about everything. He says reading material in there suck and he doesn't have scriptures yet. He was made a "trustee" position and gets out of his cell 4 hours a day instead of just 1. He says that helps a lot. He has to help with meals and do some cleaning. He indicates that this R&O area wouldn't pass a health inspection. Pretty gross! The guards like him and the Captain has told him behind closed doors they were going to try and fast track him out to general population! That would be great! They also told him to tell his wife to stop calling! "Tell her we will take good care of you". Hahaha

We have filed the petition for a re-trial so now its waiting to see if the Judge grants it to us. I understand that a re-trial approval is very slim. If that isn't granted to us then we will appeal the conviction to the Supreme Court. That might be our best option. This could take months however before we hear of a decision. Please keep praying for us!
