Prior to their sentencing a report is prepared and given to the court which provides some background on the individuals, the crime, and presents some recommendations. I have the opportunity to provide input into that report.
I did so via what they call a Victim Impact Statement. Which is a fancy way of saying a letter in which I state the obvious fact that getting beat up really sucks. I have to say that I did find it strangely fulfilling to turn the letter in. In large part, I would guess, that is because I am capable of writing a decent letter, and also that I’m mildly creative.
The letter details the physical, financial, and emotional impact of the crime and it pleases me to say that, after reading the letter, you would have every reason to believe that I am unable to get out of bed in the morning. It’s like a Dickens novel. I painted a picture of such fear, woe and dread that it really amuses me to think of it being read during the sentencing procedure.
