Seth's conviction is the result of an accusation of rape not supported by forensic evidence, a "she said, he does not remember" event, and a trial of questionable proceedings.
This blog is created to find balance to what is out on the web tied to Seth's name.
No posts will be deleted if they appear to conflict with support of Seth. This is for discussion about choices and integrity and how they are played out in today's society.

It is hard to believe that at a time when DNA is a valuable piece of evidence, that a person is convicted of rape without this evidence. When an abundance of evidence is collected and none shows evidence of DNA, has rape or intercourse happened? How can a jury be so unscientific to convict without the DNA evidence being present? Can a jury be so ignorant that they do not understand the significance of the lack of DNA? Everyone needs to be concerned when this occurs because it can happen to anyone. Participants on juries need to be knowledgeable so they are capable of sifting through the evidence presented by the lawyers and decided which pieces of evidence are relevant. Without this ability, innocent people of convicted. I feel this is what happened in this case. How many other innocent people are in our prisons due to incompetent juries? Maybe it is time to look at how we choose our juries. Has anyone noticed that those with advanced degrees do not get on juries? Why? Would a more educated jury had a different outcome in this trial? I believe so.
Seth is and was NOT capable of doing this to anyone!!! Seth is a loving brother, son , uncle, and friend! I am soooo sorry that my friend and her family are going through these hard times. I remember sitting through this trial and just knowing that with absolutely NO evidence Seth would not be convicted and if he was that it would be a lesser charge! Absolutely unbelievable!!! Our Justice system is to blame, and the people that can't stand up and tell the truth!!! How can anyone stomach the fact of sending an innocent man to prison for 8 years for a rape conviction???? How do these people sleep at night???? I really don't understand how you can be a best friend to someone for sooo many years and then really feel that they are capable of something so terrible??? This is a terrible situation and luckily Seth has so many people that love and care for him. Please when ever you are called to be on a jury make sure you know what you are doing because God knows that these people didn't have a clue!!!
I think of you often and have so many wonderful memories of you. I am so sorry for your current situation and never believed for a second that you were capable of such a thing. The upside is you have such a wonderful family and support system that is there for you. If there is anything I can do to help just let me know... I Think you are a wonderful man and am wishing the best for you.
Lil Bro, As with every other day, you were on my mind today. It feels as if there is broken part of me that cannot be fixed until you come home to the family. The injustice of this all is beyond words, but I keep my sanity by knowing that you are such a remarkably strong and truly wonderful person, and that eventually this will all be behind us and we will be able to move forward. I am heartened by the fact that every time I go to visit you, for those three hours each visit, we somehow are able to tune out the miserable prison surroundings, and instead find the ability to focus on laughter and reminiscing. My visits with you each month are something I really look forward to. By seeing your face, and knowing that you are o.k, it makes the rest of the time back home bearable. I keep the faith that true justice will be met eventually, until then, the family awaits our Sethy's return home. -Familia Forever -Your Big Sis Margo
Lil Bro- Another Christmas has gone by without you home. I don't think any of us thought it would ever be drawn out this long. Every holiday, my heart breaks that you can't spend it with us. And every holiday, among other day, your nephew ends the night by saying how much he misses his uncle, and how much he wants you home. I keep hope that you will be able to play basketball with him soon with the basketball you got him for Christmas. I have has several females contact me, wanting to get a hold of you so they can help you keep strength all these lonmg days. Each of these females say the same thing...that they know without a doubt that you would have never been capable of what that selfish "woman" accused you of...I will keep it clean, but I think we all know what I really would have put inside those quotation marks. You inspire me every day with your strength. I vow that I will remain strong for you and have your back till death......miss you more than you ever know.....
I had no idea this blog was here. I stumbled across it and can't believe how long it has been. I am filling out Seth's Christmas card tonight and think to myself, (trying to be positive) it is another year closer to him coming home. Margot, I only met you once and we shared only few text messages. I pray for you, Seth and your family frequently. I hold onto the fact that karma is a bitch and I know people will get what is coming to them. Seth is an amazing man that is not capable of hurting a fly and I would testify to that any day :). Tell Seth his picture he sent me of him and Russ sits in my room. It's the first thing I see when I walk in. It brings me hope. I connected with a woman at my work who's ex-son in law is facing similar measure 11 circumstances in the same jail and it makes me sick to think innocent men are suffering and lying "women" are making the real women who have actually been hurt& violated in the world look less creditable. Anyway, I've babbled on enough.... Peace be with you all during the holidays. Send my love to Seth and let him know sorry I have fallen behid on my letters. His Christmas card is in the mail!
