However it was, what was within you to make your life what it is today. So to you Mr. Burke I wish you nothing but the best, you are an exceptional individual. Sometimes that one break can result with enough confidence to get a person up and running and so it did. Continue On Sir... Great Job Mr. Burke & Judge Hill. C.

I received fifty years in T<br />D.C.J.I-D.<br />As the sheriff was walking me towards the holdover cell door of no return my attorney screamed out that I had never had help in my entire life with a then drug problem. Judge Hill did something that day that she had never done before. She tore the 50 years up and she gave me my life back.<br />I speak at tri-county, been to several prisons to speak, almost done with writing a book about my life and drug addiction. What I went through in court was a miracle. <br />I am now married with three beautiful children. I employ several people and get involved with my community.<br />Judge Hill is an awesome lady. I still will never really understand how it all happened after a dozen court appearances and 2 district attorneys who wanted me in prison for life.<br />Life is beautiful. Judge Hill played a major roll in that for me.<br />Chris Burke.chris burkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-21371940072051845872012-12-14T16:37:16.351-06:002012-12-14T16:37:16.351-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-66311841125709934342012-12-14T01:14:56.792-06:002012-12-14T01:14:56.792-06:00Shirley,

I think it will take much longer than a year to repair the office but if it can be done, then Mike, Belinda and Richard are the right start. I can not think of three more capable people. I have worked with all three and know they are clearly the best for the job. <br /><br />Now Mike and his staff have to clean out those Lykos people who clearly should never have gotten the jobs they have as well as those who were already there and have demonstrated to be of a Lykos nature. It is dangerous to keep those folks around.<br /><br />Thanks to Bert and Dick for taking on the job they have done so far. I know they have been working very hard on the transition.

Without the funds to do so and the need to get approval from the county before hiring at a particular salary, Mike's hands are tied for the immediate future. <br /><br />Be patient everyone. Its going to take a good 12 months for the office's new face to take shape.
