I have tried to be very careful all along not to say anything about Cody Sartin on here or facebook. I did want to inadvertently give the defense any ammunition or say anything "wrong." I think that some things now deserve to be said publicly, and I think I will probably use this blog to say them in the near future, but there is someone else that deserves my attention more.
I have gone through every emotion toward my sister during the last two years. I have been mad at her, sad for her, blamed her, forgiven her, but every minute I have loved her.
She has had to listen to criticism from people who do not know the whole story. Even today there are comments on news stories that say she should be held accountable too. She was naive. She made mistakes. She didn't listen to her smarter older sister, but here is the difference between her and the man who was just found guilty.
She admits to every mistake she made. She accepts responsibility. She feels remorse.
While Jace was dying in the hospital, she begged God to let her trade places with her son. Meanwhile, Cody Sartin went to our house and stole our TV.
I could tell you a lot about the ways she was lied to and manipulated, but I don't have the energy this minute. I think a lot of "smart" people including myself could have found themselves in this situation. She was also a victim.
I have never been more proud of my sister than when she brought Jace home to live with us and took care of him. She saved his life. I am proud of her now too. For the way she has handled herself in the midst of a waking nightmare. She handled herself with grace and strength and as a picture of the power of God to restore, heal, and make beauty from ashes.
Life will probably always be hard for us, but hard is not synonymous with bad. I know Leslie will continue to make Jace and the rest of her family proud.
Tears of joy for you and your family, Stacey. Your sister's heartache can't really be put into words, but she needs to know that others (like me who don't even know her) have prayed for her and are so thankful that this one step in her life's journey is now behind her. That doesn't erase the pain. Only God can heal, but she'll never forget Jace. He is a part of her ~ and of you. I'm so thankful that you guys all leaned strongly on God and on your family and friends. Justice came, so now the healing can slowly begin. Let her know that she's a hero for saving Jace that day when she brought him into your home.
ReplyDeleteCody Sartin is a psychopath that preyed on women and had no regard for life. His history of abusing children is beyond comprehension, but the murder of a helpless three year old child makes him a person that does not belong in society. Jace Burgess could not escape the beating that was inflicted that would ultimately lead to his death and during his final minutes of his life he was looking into the eyes of the person that was supposed to have loved him. We, the jurors, have no remorse for the verdict rendered, but are very saddened that Jace Burgess did not have a chance to grow up and reach his full potential in life.
ReplyDeleteThe above comment from a juror makes my heart swell!!! As we sit in the chairs and watch all the testimonies, etc., we have no way of knowing what the jury is thinking. We assume that most people see from the information delivered exactly what we see, but we can't know for sure what the jury believes. I want to thank the jury for listening, evaluating, and making a decision that makes such a difference for the Burgess family. I applaud you for your respect for the life of Jace and seeing the injustice he endured at the hands of evil. The family may never have complete closure, but they do have the satisfaction of knowing their precious boy did not die in vain and that justice was served. We as friends of the family tried to never pray for revenge, but for justice, and through you, our prayers were answered. God Bless each of you!
ReplyDeleteAs citizen and I was there for only part of the trial, I would like to know why Mr. Sartin's family was not allowed to testify? I just learned today that there were witnesses that were never called. Any thoughts? I can only imagine what everyone went through and little Jace. My prayers are with everyone.
ReplyDeleteI can only speculate why the defense did not call more witnesses to testify. I imagine that there were questions that would have been asked of his family in cross examination that the defense would not have wanted to be answered.
ReplyDeleteStacey you probably hit the nail on the head. They weren't there and that was the defense Cody went with. He was in control and he chose it. They were never endorsed as witnesses, and never saw the event. Why would they testify though. Two poor children harmed by this creep, I am glad he will never get out.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss, I couldn't imagine. Glad he will not be able to harm more children..Stay strong, remember Jace everyday, be an advocate for abuse.. Do it all for little Jace. Prayers for your entire family.
ReplyDeleteThe family members of the defendant were not called to testify as they could only be called as a character witnesses. The final argument of the defense was that of the timing of the bruises of which the prosecuting attorney, Sarah McAmis, was successful, if not brilliant, in getting Dr. Christopher Sorrels to state that it was possible that the bruising happened in the three hour time period between June 12th and 13th. And as I previously stated, Cody Sartin had no regard for life and from the facts given I can't imagine that his character would have helped his defense. May God bless this precious little boy who has touched the lives of 12 people that did not know of him prior to the trial.
ReplyDeleteI have to look at this low life everyday while providing medical care to him and it sickens me
ReplyDeleteWhat caused you to allow such a man into your life? Was your judgement askew at that point in your life?
ReplyDeleteShe is clearly not mentally well.
DeleteIrrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity

Listening to this story now on Something Was Wrong; so glad they put him away. I sorry for the hurt and pain that you and your family have gone through =(
ReplyDeleteLeslie should be rotting in jail alongside him. Her willful ignorance led to a death sentence for that poor baby. It is absolutely disgusting she was never charged with anything
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely responsible for Jaces death. And going on a podcast playing the perfect mom while Cody was beating Jace. Nah you are a criminal too just like Cody. Shame on you, that boy would be alive today if it wasn't for your sorry A$$
ReplyDeleteShe's not even the person running this page.
DeleteMaybe the doctors who told her her son was fine should be charged instead. She went to the hospital, she asked for help and other opinions from the professionals. And they documented abuse and did nothing. Nothing you say can compare with the likely torture she puts herself through every day. I don't know them but from what I have heard on the same podcast as you, many people dropped the ball, and the mother's part in that wad very small.
So many people failed this child! I agree that nothing said here (or anywhere else for that matter) will change the devastation, heartbreak, and extreme guilt they will carry.
DeleteShe should be rotting in jail next to Cody. Filthy human being who craves attention.
