If you're reading this right now, I just want to say; I'm rooting for you. We’re strangers, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care. I know what it’s like to feel like you're pushing a boulder uphill. I felt that way until I picked up Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers I can’t explain it perfectly, but it changed my whole perspective. After checking it out on youtube and reading it things have been flowing—money, peace, confidence. Maybe this is your moment too. Stay open. Wishing you more than you ever imagined. 💫💰

I don't think anyone given a life sentence should ever be able to have any contact with their families ever again. No calls, no visit, no nothing. If these victims don't have that option, then certainly the perp shouldn't.

WOW! This is by far, the best post conviction interview on this case Ive seen thus far! Thank you, Peter Van Sant for asking those tough questions that the majority of us were left with regarding the plea deal! You asked them with such tact and left no stone unturned! Incredible!

This is the first interview ive seen where the prosecution has been really pressed on their decisions surrounding the plea deal. All other interviews have asked the question and moved straight on- well done for digging deeper.

THANK YOU! I'm in Moscow and these are the questions I would ask Bill if I ran into him, but I wouldn't know how to phrase them! This has been the best interview yet!
