Let me start off saying that I had no idea that this site existed. I was looking something up about my brother Justin Kirby, and came across this and I’m happy to give an update on this case which still 10 years plus later, continues to be a nightmare in our lives. My family has flourished, and we have coped well, but the thing that has really opened our eyes is the justice system and how it fails so many victim families we were never given a choice on if we agreed or we did not agree with my brothers murderers sentence. I refuse to address her as anything other than his murderer. My brother did have eye issues and at times it was very difficult for him to even see a TV unless he was inches from it whether that contributed to his death or not I don’t know.I will always stand 10 toes down and say that you cannot tell me that going to a bedroom loading a gun and putting it into your pants is not a form of pre-meditation. What has disgusted our family over the years since this has happened is the amount of days that she continues to get reduced off of her sentence for taking classes, good behavior and it’s just a smack in the face to us when we get those DOC emails or letters every month. In my family‘s opinion, if you have committed a heinous crime such as murder, rape, any kind of violence against a child there should never be an option for you to already get time off of reduced sentence, which is something that our family is pursuing with legislation.I feel bad for anybody who ever has to be in this situation because our family never thought we would be faced with this reality. We continue to honor my brother‘s memory daily as for his children I will not go into detail because they are under age, but I will say that they do live with a family member, and they stayed together. I think unfortunately the county that we lived in this is how they conduct business if it had been in numerous other counties within Indiana I do not feel that the same sentence would have been applied. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or any advice. If you’ve been in this situation you may have because it would be greatly appreciated..
