Default Billy's story on Oprah tomorrow

Hey all, I just wanted to say that Billy's story is on Oprah again tomorrow. This is where he met with his victim's daughter. It did so much good for both of them.

Just trying to get our story out there. He's serving LWOP, so we need to get his name out there as much as we can!!

i watched it this morning i was not sure if i had seen it before i had-- now watching it with PTO on my mind gave me a different view on it - i am going to say that the program really seems to be working for both parties involved- the oprah show dealt with the victims thoughts and feeling -- i was wondering what Billy got out of the interview?
That night changed alot of peoples lives....

Thanks for watching! I'm just glad to get the story out more.

It did Billy a lot of good to know that Jennifer got something out of it. He was glad to do the original A&E show, especially when he heard from Betty Brown afterwards that Jennifer was doing better. Then to see the Oprah show and see the difference in her husband was even better. Obviously, it still affects her constantly, but just to know that she's healed a little helps a lot. He has a lot of guilt over what happened. There were some things that weren't accurate on the show (the hate crime thing and more), which I tend to have a hard time with. Billy thinks the other way - that this was about Jennifer and not him. I agree, but it's still hard to hear things that aren't true!

Anyway, thanks for watching. I'm glad it shows a human side of someone in prison for murder!!

I watched it But it was interupted to show coverage of stupid president bush in Cedar Rapids today to see flood damage. I get that cedar rapids just went through major flooding (i live here, I lived though it & while I wasn't affected my family was) I'm just sick of everything being interupted to show every little bit of video that is shot. WHO THE HECK CARES THAT BUSH WAS HERE!!!!! HE DIDN'T HELP CLEAN UP OR PERSONALLY TOUR THE DAMAGED AREAS. Sorry I'll step off the soap box now.
