What people are saying
There are days when I fall apart, there are days when I don't want to go on, but I am here with myself and I keep going.
One of my greatest strengths in here is knowing that I am innocent of so many vile things I was accused of.
I have a lot of faith in justice, in divine justice, and I know this will soon end as it should.
Alexa, I have forgiven her from day one; she is my daughter, I love her, I hold her in my heart, and I always will.
