Justice for Belita
Welcome to my site! I have alot to say about my mom and the type of person she is,but first let me say this her name is Belita Fox ,...she's not only a courageous mom,but she is truely my hero. I can only tell you that because I don't know anyone else who would go beyond the call of duty inorder to protect her child like she did. I only wish that people where more like her and then they would know,..my mom is no murderer,and she never meant to hurt anyone!
On August 29th 1989 my mom was desperate to get help for my teenage drug problem,and she did all she could do to get my adult friends to leave me alone. They where letting me come to theyre house and party all night long even though I was under-age and my mom had warned them all. She called authority's and they wouldn't help. She talked to friends of mine in the past and they respected her wishes to leave me alone. She told Kevin Furman that but he thought she was crazy and I was cool so as far as he was concerned I could come over but he didn't wan't her coming over.She was my mom!
I blame my friends whom had alowed my drug use despite her warnings. She told them she would have them arrested for contributing to the delinouincy of a minor.She went to Kevin Furmans house and demanded to speak with him,since he was the renter she thought he would be the responsible one of the bunch,but he refused her and an argument insued. There where at least four witnesses interviewed by police. From all accounts heres what they heard her say "i told you not to let her come her,now she's sick and it's your fault".(Kevin): "that's your fucking problem"
(mom): "she's my baby,she has a bad heart,she's sick"!
(Kevin):"your crazy lady,I dont haveto listen to this"(mom)"this say's you do,this is a 38"
Kevin jumped up and started to head towards her and was shot once in the chest.His roomate (the eye-witness)came to aid him but,stopped in the doorway,that's when she turned her head and out of the corner of her eye she saw Kevin lunge toward her. She brought the gun up again and fired two more times. Those shots hit him in the side (and through his finger possibly)she said "why did you make me hurt you .I didnt want to hurt anybody,your friends will get help.I dont know cpr. Minutes passed and she saw a phone and called 911 herself to report the shooting. she was crying uncontrolably.
I am interested in having justice for my mom having now spent 12 years in prison. She was sentanced to 27-to-life. she stands convicted of murder in the first degree. This is the harshest penalty allowedand that is what Kevins mom wanted. She also vows to be at paroll hearings to oppose my moms release.

I was 17 and upset that a friend had died but I thought justice would somehow be served.It is time they free my mom!They convicted her on lies and false evidence.They called no witnesses on behalf of the defence except my mom herself. The eye-witness admited that the DA and family of Furman had pressured him to lie and he did. He also said that it looked like self defence to him and he has always thought that. that statement was recorded in November of 1999.



news story 1989
My mom is beautiful and had no reason to be jeleous of anyone.She owned our home and my step-dad payed the bills,they were getting along better since the seperation. My mom had always provided us kids with everything we needed and some might say we were spoiled just a-wee bit.

My mom was a hospital volunteer for 14 years and became a recognized member of the ladies auxilary group here in Lancaster.

My mom got each of us kids involved in the L.Y.F.(little leage football). My sister and I enjoyed cheerleading and my brother became a football coach after sticking with it through high school,in wich his team became C.I.F. champions! My mom was always helping out the team and I remember well how we would cut up oranges for the teams refreshments. Also decorating the team float,and it was the first time they had been in a parade thanks to my mom!

I want all of you to remember my mom and do your part to see that justice is won on behalf of Belita Fox!Write a brief letter, To: The Board of Prison Terms;(address):c/o Belita Fox 36796 C.I.W. / HB 728-L 16756 Chino-Corona Rd. Corona,CA. 92880-9508.

Let me tell you about my mom and the truth is she was a very good mom. She made sure that me and my brother and sister all had the opportunity to succeed in life.What more can you say! Well my mom invoved all of us in extra curricular activity's of our choice. My brother Billy is an exceptional football coach now and that is in part do to my mom. She needed to detour billy from trouble at a young age. He was at times discouraged but,with my mom's help he began to excell in Youth football (LYF) and stayed with it through out high school and some college. His whole team binefited from her involvement. They became CIF champions in 1987 and my mom helped them along the way by setting up sponsorships and volunteering her time to insure that the team had everything they needed,equiptment,awards ect. she even cut up oranges for half-time refreshments. We decorated the LYF teams first float that was admitted into the local parade because they had made it to the finals.


My mom volunteered at Lancaster Community Hospital for over 12 years. She belonged to the Ladies Auxilary and was commended for her work as a volunteer. I mentioned her involvment that helped my brothers football team,she also involved my sister and I in LYF cheerleading,and went to all of our games..she even ran the snack bar for the away teams.We always had a choice in what we wanted to do.We had fun and when we didn't have fun we would quit at the end of the season.

I am determined to have truth and justice prevail in the case of my mother and all who deserve it. That is my lifes mission,...begining with my mom!
Now that I have your attention,lets update some facts. Tuesday,July,24th,2001 The Valley Press (Lancaster,CA. News Paper)Reads: Attorney may file suit against Cooley; A panel of appeals judges has given a defence attorney the goahead to sue Antalope Valley Head District Attorney- Cooley and another prosicutor (Robert Foltz) in 4 of 7 claims against them. The defense attorney has fair and legal basis according to the panel of judges.


The reason being that a witness has admitted that he lied in the 1991 double murder case,(wich involved drug trafficing)and that documents where falsified to back up his testimony. The defense attorney stated that he expected praise for doing such a good job(proving his client inocent) but instead he was slandered and harrassed by the two district attorney's. Cooley and Foltz each filed false complaints against the attorney claiming themselves as victims.
