Last week we traveled to Salt Lake to testify in a sentencing and witnessed first hand a terrible injustice. A plea deal between two men in exchange for their testimony against another has resulted in a very distorted picture and an inapproprate sentence. We had no arguement with the judge. He was as lenient as the law allowed which makes us suspect he could see through it all and perseive where truth lay. However, poor representation has lead a modest, humble loving and service-oriented man into a major trap.
It makes me realize what we may have to experience in these "Last Days" when Satan rages in the hearts of men, truths are distorted and good is made to appear bad and visa versa. I am now more aware of just what it will mean to cling to our "faith" and to trust the Lord to see us through.
It's not over and I look forward to the eventual resolve. Though it may be years or another life, I have no doubt that the Lord will direct, bless and sustain all the victims involved until it is one day made right. How that will happen is the question.
