The Night That Silenced Wyoming
My name is Holly Marie Lang born on April 5, 1983, to Al and Debbie Lang in Alexandria, LA. They were a young couple trying to find their place in the world. Growing up for me was amazing. I do not recall anything but love from my parents. They did not ever fight or yell and me being the only child, I was never starved for affection or love. I was their life, and they were mine!! My dad worked for the oil field after he got out of the Air Force and eventually decided to join Immigration of Naturalization Service. The first attack, as I call it, came around 1993 when my dad sat me down to explain that a divorce was approaching. I remember being so confused because there were no signs insinuating anything of the sorts. The new puppy and promises of two of every holiday helped me catch my breath and lightened the blow.

Why is former Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin being tried in front of a jury? Why are we wasting time, money, and other resources to host a dog and pony show for someone who clearly, in front of our very eyes, committed murder, taking the life of an individual who was not a threat to him, or his fellow officers?

Herstory is Our Story
Alright, now breathe! In and out. In and out. My anxiety hasn’t gotten the better of me since law school, but I knew it would be back with a vengeance today. The incident in school lead to a midnight trip to the emergency room where an RN told me I was fine and just low on potassium. She sent me home with a banana and a large bill, but that is a story for a different day. Luckily, I invested in therapy and learned a couple tricks to come back to reality. The anticipation of today alone is shaking my heart and fogging up my lungs. Breathe in, breathe out, A – Anteaters, B-Bingo, C-Cantaloupe, D-Dynamite… I’m here, back in the court room.

Speechless
Tonight I will be paid an unforgettable sum, the most I have ever received, for committing my own beautiful little boy to life; for murder. It’s also my last pay check, the signal for me to let go of everything—but how can I let go of those precious 12 years we wasted, while you were so innocent?

The Three Main Components of the Criminal Justice System
Three main components make up our criminal justice system: Law Enforcement, Courts, and Corrections. An easier way to put it in is the three C’s, cops, courts, and corrections. They all work together and go in hand with one another in some way, which is by apprehending, trying, and punishing offenders. They all work to deter and prevent crime. Police detect crime and detain offenders, courts adjudicate, sentence punishments, and the correctional system punishes or rehabilitates.
