Perry March's sentence shortened

Perry March got some good news yesterday...the judge has shortened his sentence by two years. He's currently serving time for murdering his wife and hiring someone to kill his in-laws. This is a notorious Nashville crime story. There's even a true crime novel about it.

Now he'll be a free man two years earlier...at age 99 instead of 101.



So now he has 52 years to think about the error of his ways. I think we can rest easy that this scumbag won't make it that long. He probably hopes he doesn't.



His two children go to school with my daughter, and he hasn't contacted them in many months. I think that's a good thing.  His daughter is a beautiful girl,  who looks so much like her mom, Janet, that it causes me to double take every time I see her.  I remember picking her up for a play date with my daughter a few years ago and when she got into the car I blurted out, "Oh my gosh, you look so much like your mom!"  She looked at me with this earnest little face, and said, "You KNEW my mom?"  She was less than three years old when Janet was killed, and for years she was told her mommy left her...(by Perry, who never admitted killing her).



I run through the park where they searched for her body countless times and even now, over ten years later, I think about her every time I run through there. May she rest in peace.
