Jennifer Sue Helms Now In Custody!

On February 11, 2005, Jennifer Sue Helms was sentenced to 6 months SAFP and 3 months in a halfway house.  She sat in Anderson County Jail until April 12, 2005, when she was trasferred to SAFP at the Halbert Unit in Burnet, Texas.  The sentence was a joke, but the family was convinced by the District Attorney that since she was a young female, and had no priors (at least not an adult record), and was a mother, that she would get off with nothing if we went to trial. 
 
When the judge asked our opinion, we said that we agreed "to" the sentence, not "with" the sentence.  She also got 10 years felony probation for killing Bert, and 5 years felony probation for having William in the car. 
 
When the judge asked her to tell in her own words what she had done, she said, "I drank too much, I drove a car, and someone died."  She didn't even have the decency to say, "I killed the father of my child."  Her lawyer prepped her well.  No admission to the true crime!
 
She asked to speak to the family.  The judge gave us the option.  We said whatever.  She just spewed a bunch of crap about being sorry and that she loved Bert.  BullShit!  She got pissed when Chris and I were reading our impact statements.  If she were truely sorry, she would have had no reason to get mad at us for stating facts. 
 
She makes me sick and I hope that she gets out and screws up and goes to prison for 10 years.  She better know that we will be watching her!  She will screw up and we will see it and she will eventually get punished for what she did to our family.  She will NEVER see William again, and he will grow up knowing that she murdered his Daddy! 
 
She has had her rights terminated on one of her other 4 kids.  Hopefully, she will also lose her rights to the others.  At least she will never get to see William or Crystal.  She should have had them terminated long ago.  Anyone who tries to starve their children to death doesn't deserve to be called a mother. 

Don't Drink and Drive!!  It takes precious lives!!

February 27, 2006

I have been avoiding posting this, but I know I need to vent somewhere besides work.  Although I have the greatest customers on the face of the Earth as most of them have offered to contribute to my bail fund. 

Jennifer is back in Fairfield.  She is (or was, not sure now) staying in the hotel behind my store.  She had the nerve to come into my store.  I calmly told her she was not welcome and needed to leave.  She told me she would report me to my manager.  I told her "Go ahead, he won't care" (not exactly in those words).  I called my manager and told him and he's says "OK".  That was it.  I was furious!  (With Jennifer, not Keith)  The next day I was talking to my manager about it and told him the main thing that kept me from beating the shit out of her was not knowing where I would get the bail money.  He says, "Don't worry about that!  I would bail you out!  Just call me!" 

I am trying so hard to let the law deal with this and not take matters into my own hands, but it is so damn hard.  On her way out the door she called me a Bitch!  How messed up is that?  I am the bitch because I refused to wait on my Brother's Murderer?!?!?!?  Go Figure!!

They are in the process of getting her probation moved to Freestone County and out of Anderson County.  Which means that for a couple of weeks, she is basically unmonitored by the courts.  But that's ok.  She is being closely watched by the Sheriff's Department, the Police Department, and the Hiway Patrol.  One or more of us who HATE her have close contact with at least one person from each Department.  She definately won't get by with anything. 

I also found out that I am not the only one who has told different cops that I would kill her.  I thought what I said I would do was bad, but its tame compared to some I have heard.  I just wanted to run her down in my car!  If she is ever found dead, they won't even know where to start looking.  Too many people want her dead!

I feel a little better now.  Thanks for listening!

Back in Jail.....
 
 
As of a few days before Christmas, Jennifer has been in Anderson County Jail.  She is supposed to be getting revoked.  She has been doing drugs (pissed hot), not doing her community service, and not going to her P.O. appointments.  This is the first time since she murdered my brother that she has spent New Year's behind bars.  That made this the best New Year's in five years for me.  She has not got a hearing date set yet, but I will stay on top of this til she gets one set.  I want to see her taken away in cuffs.  Can't get any straight answers yet, but it won't take them long to realize how annoying I can be til you give me the info I want. 

She's in Prison...Finally
Jennifer was sentenced on March 26, 2008, to 12 yrs in TDCJ.  Sis and I were there and got to see her in cuffs and shackles.  We had a hard time being quiet when she was on the stand and lying thru her teeth.  She was revoked on the charges I mentioned previously.  She tried to claim that she didn't take the meth, that someone had slipped it into her food.  Her PO went to her home to check up on her.  He stated that there were beer cans everywhere, but of course she claimed they weren't hers.  The judge, thank God, saw thru her lies and sentenced her to 12 years.  

She went before the parole board!
 
In July, 2008, Jennifer went before the parole board for the first time.  She was denied, thank God.  We were not even notified.  I called the prison unit and found out they have their own people to notify you when someone comes up for parole.  I am waiting for the holidays to get over then I will call them and get it set up.  The man I talked to did tell me that she is scheduled to go before the parole board again in July, 2009.  What good is a 12 year sentence if you are eligible for parole in less than a year?  I don't understand our legal system.

Parole Board Letters...Again
Well, I guess it's that time again.  Got a letter from Victim's Services this week and Jennifer is up for Parole again.  This time they added a projected release date of 6-6-2011.  That is just too soon.  The longest she could be in there is until 2-22-2017, and that would suit me just fine.  It is still so painful.  If she gets out in June, that would only be 3 years.  That's just not long enough for what she did to us.  My brother is DEAD....why should she get to have any kind of life at all? 
 
He has been gone for almost 8 years.  Some days it seems like it was just yesterday.  Other days it seems like a life time ago.  It has been a life time for his son. 
 
I am just praying that she doesn't get paroled now.  I am not ready to start watching her again.  And Lord knows the court system doesn't watch her close enough.  If it hadn't been for me and Chris reporting her, I don't think they would have ever done anything to her.  She would have just flown under the radar.  I just don't have the time it will require to keep everyone on their toes about this.  Nor the energy. 

Arive Alive! Don't Drink and Drive!
