MY BROTHER WAS MURDERED

A week from now is the seventh year death anniversary of my older brother.He died from an unnatural death.He was brutally murdered by a man under the influence of some dangerous drugs, in the comfort of his own home.He was 57 yrs. old when he died or killed.At that time I was out of the country.My family decided to keep the whole incident from me.But as I recall , on that particular day, exactly 6 yrs.,11 months, and 15 days,miles and miles away from the crime scene " I COULD FEEL SOMETHING was HAPPENING", though I couldn't explain what.The whole incident was divulged to me not until I came home in the year 2005 for vacation, which makes it almost 3 yrs. after my brother's dreadful end.As I was listening to my sister-in-law,uncovering to me the whole scenario of that brutal murder,I was experiencing mix emotions, and they were all HATRED, MEANNESS,MERCILESSNESS,all the negative emotions you can think of against my brother's assailant. Today almost 7 yrs. have passed,the most awaited promulgation of verdict came .MY BROTHER'S AGGRESSOR WAS PRONOUNCED GUILTY BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT OF HOMICIDE,sentenced from 12 to 17 yrs. of imprisonment.How do I feel about it? Honestly, I don't know anymore,there is only one thing I hope for, that our justice system will improve for I believe in JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED,for me the sentence given was not enough, 17 years is too light for a murder case like that one of my brother, I know that wasn't just a homicide case, but a premeditated murder, a malicious killing of a person.My only consolation is the idea that my brother is now happy,free from all pains and burden.He's now w/ my parents IN THE COMFORT OF THEIR REAL HOME with OUR "CREATOR".
