Tomorrow, Thursday December 6th 2012, marks the first day of trial for Juan Cruz…

for the murder of Rosie Marie Woolwine, stemming back to June 18th, 1989. It’s been a long time coming but we have to believe that this is the way it was supposed to happen. If he were sentenced back in 1989, he would be free by now; a very scary thought.

PLEASE SUPPORT US by Liking this blog on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media outlet you use.

You may also show up to the court house, Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, downtown Detroit. Please be there by 9:00 am. Court will go on until 1:00 pm every day until enough witnesses are called, and as long as the jury will need to make their decision.  The court room may be full, so please be prepared to wait in the hallway if necessary (those of us who may have to testify may only be able to stand in the hallway also). Please wear purple for Rosie if you can or cannot make it to court

(NO references to the victim are allowed within the court room so please DO NOT WEAR ROSIE T-SHIRTS INSIDE THE COURTROOM!!).

Post about this on your feeds, and feel free to speak publicly about this tragedy. The worst thing that could happen is this case be swept under the rug, when so many have so much to learn from all of this. This is a great time to have conversations with your families about Domestic Violence and the dangers of co-dependencies. Spread love and teachings of compassion. Keep Rosie alive.

Thank you endlessly for your support and sticking by our sides throughout all of this. We hope to discover a new era in our lives, where the memory of Rosie, my beautiful mother, will not be over shadowed by the actions of an evil and callous man. He will no longer dictate our emotions. I know nothing will ever fully bring closure, but this will be one sweet victory to the City of Detroit and a life-changing event for those of us who were touched by the amazing spirit of Rosie. We may never know why, and I truly do not care why he did this, but I savor the day I will witness Juan Cruz’s facial expression as he is sentenced to rot in a cell in contemplation of the final moments of my mother’s life…until his last breath.

Once again, the trial date has been pushed farther back, this time Judge Timothy Kenny, at Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, has chosen December 6th.

We will pursue having cameras film the trial, since we are told that there is not enough interest from the public to continue filming for major broadcast. In addition to this, local media has diminished their interest in this case.

It is up to us to keep the fight alive and prominent. We ask you for your support for the upcoming trial. Tell a friend, tell our family…pass the word about this case and trial. If you feel compelled to help, you can show up to the trial (6th floor of Frank Murphy Hall of Justice), keeping in mind that if family fills up the room, you must support outside of the courtroom; or you may simply LIKE us through your facebook or twitter accounts, or even wear purple in honor of Rosie.

We thank you all so much for keeping up to date with the case, sharing your words of support, your stories of Rosie and your compassion for all of the surviving family/children of Rosie.

Juan Cruz stares his victim’s close family members in the eyes during the hearing on August 1st in Detroit, MI. No more motions to file, and the trial date is approaching. No one expected what has come to pass and what will inevitably be sweet victory for peace and justice.  And for Rosie. I have faith. But more importantly, I have time. After 23 years of an opened wound tragedy, I can patiently await the wheels of justice to turn…ever so slow.

 

1 more court hearing until the trial starts…now is the time to stay STRONG =)

Theresa’s reactions to recent news of Juan Cruz extradition 5/10/2012:

Juan Cruz EXTRADITED back to Detroit…FINALLY!!!

The family found out on May 10th, 2012 that Juan Cruz had been brought to Detroit, MI to face his charges of 2nd degree murder & possession of a weapon. His arraignment was held on the following day of May 11th, 2012.

He was denied bond and cited to be a flight risk and his violent nature of offense was also cited.

His next hearing will be held on May 22nd, 2012. This will be a slow and steady process but we are holding strong and firm. We will be in attendance at EVERY single court date with our purple Rosie tribute T-shirts, making sure that the focus is on ROSIE (the victim) at all times. She WILL be heard.
