Villa Park case takes a new turn

[Gene Boerema]

Now I am the only person that put my full name. I know Nicole, Dean, Her Father and Mother all great people. So your friend got punched in the face and you were scared but you were her friend, oh sorry you kept it cool. What does that mean?? Its fine if you all don't like Nicole or even want the death penalty.. but her family, now thats extreme. I am Nicoles friend. I may have even been around when she punched your friend in the face. I was also around when she picked people up off the ground to help them. Even though she has been convicted I will still continue be her friend. She also did do alot of good. Now does that take back what she was convicted for.... NO .. We lost Becky and like everyone including Nicoles family its unbearably heart taking. We loved Becky, she was an awsome young lady who will never be forgotten.

How is Nicole doing in jail? If anyone who posts here has visited her, is she still saying she is innocent? Is she planning to appeal?

I think it's fair to say that when someone commits MURDER, all of the good things they may or may not have done are pretty much FORGOTTEN, and deservedly so.
Nicole is a BEAST and deserves worse than she received.

[Curious]

Obviously you have given birth to, or been the sibling of someone who has committed a crime. You would feel much differently then.

If you want to be angry at someone - be angry at the people in Nicole's life who saw troubling behavior from her at a young age and did NOTHING to try to help her - this type of behavior doesn't come out of nowhere, and she should have received help as a teen or even younger so that none of this would have happened.

[Curious]

Sorry, meant to say obviously you have NEVER given birth to someone who committed a crime.

[Betsy]

I have friends who have been abused their entire lives, lived through horrible tragedy, and dealt with FAR worse situations than Nicole. Crime? Maybe. MURDER?? No.

At some point you have to stop blaming the family and blame the individual. SHE is responsible.

I take it the OUTCOME your speaking about is the TV and the Money .. whatever makes you happy ..

Yeah TV and Money is what makes us happy huh? Oh yeah, don't forget that you aren't talking to Nicole or her Family... They were the ones who pulled the bolted down heater out of the basement of the house where Nicole Murdered Becky... I think that you need to get your facts straight... The outcome that we wanted was Nicole behind bars where she can't hurt anyone ever again. I hope that she rots for the rest of her life, and trust me the death penalty would have been an even better outcome for us. She deserves NOTHING! Nicole took someone out of this world who did nothing but help people including Nicole. Nicole only had ANYTHING in this life because of Becky---find someone else to harp to, Nicole is worse than scum. Stop defending her, she had her day in court, and guess what.... they found her guilty just like we all knew they would.... This site should be dedicated to Becky and remembering all of the wonderful things that she did, and how much she touched all of our lives, not to defend the one who took her from us... Just let it go... no appeal will work and you know it... can't you lose interest already... go bug someone else for a while.

(nicole) and the girl i knew couldn't hurt A fly.. it would be interesting to see both sides

[knows more than u think]

I hear the sentencing is 7-28. She will pay for her sins as people say. I am glad we dont have to listen to her lies anymore. She is where she belongs, no other person ever admitted to having anything to do with this crime because Nicole did it. She lied and she admitted it on the stand. What more do you need to prove that her saying she didnt do it wasnt worth anything.....
It is what it is! Things went wrong and she took matters into her own hands. Shes a lier, a cheater and most likely a thief!!! thats what the law is for. most of us have morals, some dont. Justice will prevaile, in the name of Becky, A truly good person, caring, loving!!
my heart hurts for her family!! the loss must be devestating!!

Just for the record I'm done with this blog.
See you all in couple years ..
Trust me you never got what you wanted.. because you wanted and believe Nicole did it, and she didn't, Shes never going to admit to something she didn't do so you'll never know and thats going to bother you.
For the record Nicole has never admitted to this crime, to the Police / Detectives, to the Court, to her Family, or her Lawyers. She was already presented with a Verbal Plea Deal to turn in any accomplice, or admit to it for a reduced sentence. She told them No, She stated I'll never admit to a crime I didn't Commit, like I said before sleep good because you got Justice, just not the right person.
-My Opinion I don't know how I would be able to sleep knowing that other person is still out there.
