The last few posts have displayed the frustration I have with international justice malfeasance. The more I know about Antonio Velardo and Harry Fitzsimmons’s situation, the angrier I get.

When Antonio contacted me to tell his story, I honestly did not foresee how intrigued I would be or how involved internationally the story would be. But I am glad it happened that way. I have gotten to know Antonio a bit of over the little time we have known each other. I think it’s…

So today I sat and pondered what I want to be when I grow up. This is something that has really eluded me for the majority of my 38 years. What do you love? History, helping people, law. What can you do to feed your family? That has a million answers but in the…
