Berkeley County, SC
In April of 2010, Peggy Kandies was staying at a friend's trailer in a mobile home park, when one illegal Mexican scumbag by the name of Frederico Reyes, burst into the trailer.
After forcing himself in to the residence, he jumped on top of Ms. Kandies, attempting to sexually assault her. He head butted her, leaving a large contusion on her forehead and also bit her on the lip, leaving a distinct bite mark. Many years before, Ms. Kandies was trained in Ju Jitsu and remembering her training, fought off her attacker. Reyes was caught a short time later and arrested.
It's from this point on that the system failed this feisty middle aged woman. Starting with the initial police investigation, to the final prosecution of the defendant, the criminal justice system seemed to do nothing but favor the rights of a pervert who was in this country illegally.
This article lays out in great detail, the incident and subsequent complications she endured in her battle to get justice. The saddest part of all this is that Ms. Kandies has had little to no cooperation from the local solicitor's office. They refuse to even speak with her anymore and she suspects because she had the audacity to point out that under the SC Victim's Bill of Rights, her rights were violated on several points.
Additionally, because the defendant was allowed to plead to a lesser charge, all without considering her input, the defendant's indictment subsequently labeled him as a "non-violent" offender. Which is not only a direct contradiction of the physical evidence, but is also an insult to the victim. The only consolation was that Reyes was put on the Sex Offender Registry.
Ms. Kandies recently found out on her own that Reyes is coming up for a parole hearing. Yes, unbelievably, Reyes has been in jail only 8 months of a 5 year sentence. The parole hearing is scheduled this week in Columbia, SC. An on line petition is being circulated to keep this pervert in jail where he belongs. Please sign the petition and show support to the victim's rights and to get our legislators off their fat asses and address this illegal immigration problem.
FINAL NOTE: As of 9-14-11, a parole board hearing denied Reyes' release.
