Blaine....

I want to say something about Blaine.  I am very thankful that DHS stepped in and protected him by placing him outside the home where Raye Dawn was living, which was with Gayla.  Putting him with Gayla while Raye Dawn lived there would have been putting him in danger in my opinion.

I was even more thankful after Raye Dawn's pre-sentencing report was made, that Blaine was protected.  This is an excerpt from her pre-sentence report. 

"Smith denies culpability in this offense.  Smith denies she allowed Kelsey to be abused.  Instead, Smith attempts to diminish her responsibility for the abuse of her daughter and projects blame to others who were the only individuals who took actions to protect Kelsey.  Because of Smith's denial of responsibility, it is unlikely that Smith will display a willingness to change her behavior.  Through her actions and omissions, Smith has shown she poses a serious threat to any children or minors in which she has been entrusted for their care"

She has "shown she poses a serious threat to any children or minors".   Enough said.


The pre-sentence report can be found here in PDF format.

Another:  "Given the length of time that Kelsey was abused and allowed to be abused, it appears the Instant Offense was not situational but rather a persistent pattern of behavior that ultimately resulted in her death."
 
"was abused and allowed to be abused"....yet another blogger would have you believe that Kelsey had not been abused at all, until the day she was murdered.  Minimizing Kelsey's pain, suffering and abuse will not make Raye Dawn less guilty, nor free her from her home for the next 20+ years.
 
Another thing on my mind...."justice for Kelsey" would NOT be Porter sitting in prison for the murder and sexual assault of Kelsey.  It has not been proven that he killed Kelsey, nor sexually assaulted her.  In FACT, it has NOT been proven that Kelsey was sexually assaulted at all.  IF she had been, it is very well possible that was also done by her own sorry mother according to facts and evidence in this case.  And yes, we want Raye in prison for her role in Kelsey's murder.  And yes we want her to be charged with the murder of Kelsey.  As tough as it may be for those that insist on manipulating facts, reading other's opinions stated as fact....  We believe that Raye Dawn killed Kelsey and we want her charged with it.  I fully believe in my opinion that there is enough evidence to convict Raye Dawn Smith in the murder of her own child, Kelsey Briggs!!
 
Once again another Raye supporter talks of Smothermon stating at Raye's trial that he believed Porter to be the guilty one.  They do not, however talk about his MOST RECENT statement where he says that he can't tell you which one killed Kelsey, that there is evidence that points to BOTH of them as being the murderer.  Her supporters ALWAYS leave out his most recent statement.  I guess they think if they don't talk about it, post it or say it, that Smothermon didn't say it.  But he did.  He stated his "opinion" in court that day, not FACT.  Guess they don't realize or understand that as more evidence came and the more it was looked over that Smothermon's "opinion" could change. 
 
Recently it was stated by a RD supporter  "Read Smothermon's own words. He prosecuted Raye Smith because of the pressure of the Briggs family and his fear of losing the election. "  I have yet to find where Smothermon said in his "own words" that he prosecuted Raye Dawn because of "fear of losing the election".  I gave up looking for it, it doesn't exist.
I would email Gayla and Sherri and Raye Dawn and ask why there is no justice for Kelsey, but then we know what the answer would be.  Well Kathie did this and Lance didn't do that.....and so the story goes...as always.....Raye Dawn never did a thing wrong...ask her.....everyone knows that everyone sitting in prison is innocent...just ask them.
 
I do have in my possession a copy of an email that Gayla wrote....if it were posted you would see why it is a good thing that Blaine wasn't put in her care...she apparently doesn't want to be saddled down taking care of a baby, in my opinion after seeing the email.  I did recently hear that Blaine was adopted by the family he's with, I know they do list him as their child on FB too.  I hope that's true, even if it is RD's family members.  That poor baby has so much to deal with in the future.  Thank God he will be a grown man when his biological mother gets out of prison.  Anyway, not stating the adoption as fact, but will check into that a little further, as I was just recently told this again.  May God Bless you and keep you safe little Blaine.
