So......

In a few days, my only child, Matthew Garrett, Sr., would have turned 30 years old. I say "would have" because he was murdered last summer in a random robbery in front of his recording studio, Zion Gate Records, along with his friend, Steve Swan. Steve was only 26.

The two black punks that changed our lives forever are in jail...one, Broadnax, the scumbag who pulled the trigger, is on death row. His cousin, Cummings, is still in the Dallas County Jail awaiting a trial, we hope. Cummings should be tried before a jury so that they can decide his fate. (Dallas County Commissioner, Mike Cantrell, asked all County Depts to take an across the board budget cut and the DAs Office says they may not have the money to take Cummings to trial. If this is true, he will get to plea bargain, I guess.)

Trouble is, from his own confession video, you hear Cummings say that he told his cousin that they should "do it now..." (after walking away from Matthew and Steve) "....if they's gonna' do it....it's a long damn walk back to East Dallas...." he says. They came to Garland because, "...that's where all the rich white folks stays..." UGH!!! They needed stuff, as the DA said during the trial...Matthew and Steve's stuff. Cummings is just as guilty; if not more so, since many of the detectives believe that he encouraged his cousin to do his dirty work for him. Cummings had been in prison before; he made sure he didn't pull the trigger.

They got $2.00 and Steve's car. They were disappointed as they drove off, saying to each other, "Man, $2.00, that's all we got...."

YEAH....IDIOTS....my son and his friend worked hard for the little bit of money they had. My son had a family...a sweet wife and two little babies to support. They never had much but they knew how to get more. They worked!!! What a concept!!!

Thank God these killers were caught and they confessed!! I can't imagine living life not knowing who did it. Just the thought of Matthew and Steve's killers roaming around on the streets makes me sick. I hope and pray that Broadnax gets his lethal injection soon and that Cummings will get a jury trial with the same punishment as his cuz. Good riddance to both of them!!! The world will be a safer and better place when they're gone!!!
