Hailey Resch Deserves Justice

Hailey Rae Resch
Her father took her to have this picture taken as a surprise for her mom less than 2 weeks before her death.

I try not to be political on my blog.

I want to keep my blog happy, creative and serene and so I try to avoid controversial stories but I am so angry this morning that I must write about a tragic case of injustice.

I worked for 4 years at my church, First Christian Church Ministries in Kernersville NC.

One of my jobs was to assist our worship minister.

One of the tasks I always loved was finding a Sunday morning scripture reader who would read scripture and open all three services with prayer. NOT always an easy task finding ONE person who would agree to stick around for a 9am, 10:15 and 11:30 service.

But one faithful follower I could always count on was David Resch.

David and his wife Carol, were the parents of a beautiful little 3 year old girl named Hailey.

Hailey, by all accounts from people who interacted with her on a daily basis, was described as a happy, healthy, energetic bundle of love. She loved church. Loved her family and was adored by her parents.

Hailey was murdered November 9th, 2005 while at her babysitters, MARY ROACH's home.

And even though a jury found the babysitter, MARY ELIZABETH ROACH guilty, a judge overturned the verdict and DISMISSED the charges against ROACH. Last month, the North Carolina Supreme Court upheld that Judges ruling. ROACH is free to pollute the earth.

How is it that we live in a country where Plaxico Burress will serve more jail time for shooting himself in the leg than a woman who violently murdered a helpless child she was being PAID to watch?

I understand the ruling was based on factors conducted on this baby's autopsy. She died of trauma caused to her head but autopsy experts could not say definitively when she received this wound.

Yet, Hailey was fine the morning she was dropped off at Roach's residence.

Hailey was fine during church the Sunday prior to her death.

Hailey was fine when her father had her pictures taken for the last time 2 weeks before her murder as an early Christmas present for her mom.

Mary Roach, She is as ugly as her name.

A jury concluded and convicted ROACH of first degree murder. But yet ROACH walked. And Judge John O. Craig III helped her. And NC Appeals Court Judges Robert C. Hunter, Judge Ann Marie Calabria and Judge Robert N. Hunter Jr. concurred.

Vote these idiots OUT of office and pray that an appeal filed by the State of North Carolina will be vindicated. Since the Appeals Court ruling was unanimous, the state had to ask the high court to review the decision. This is what needs to happen but is a longshot.

Contact the NCDOJ by clicking here and tell them to keep fighting for Hailey.

The hardest job I ever had to do as secretary of my church was create an IN MEMORY OF page for this angel on the back of the church's 2005 children's Christmas Play, less than 6 weeks after her death. A play that Hailey should have only been mentioned in as one of the tiny actors. Not as a memorial.
