Prayer for Raye

Starting Sunday, November 11, 2007, we ask that your church families

start a prayer chain for Raye Dawn Smith's release from prison and that you continue the prayers until her release.

 

 

 

Dear Church Family,

Many of you are familiar with the Kelsey Smith-Briggs story. Kelsey died at the tender age of 2 1/2. As most of you know, Kelsey's step-dad, Michael Porter, was initially charged with little Kelsey's murder and for sexually assaulting Kelsey. Michael Porter later plead guilty to a lesser charge of enabling child abuse, and agreed to 30 years in prison.

Michael Porter was allowed to plea in this horrific case, despite the fact the District Attorney, Richard Smotherman, stated he knew Michael Porter was the killer.
 

Raye Dawn Smith, Kelsey's mother, was charged with enabling child abuse four months after little Kelsey's death, and after much pressure from the paternal family, as well as the media. Raye Dawn did not receive a fair trial. Due to the intense media coverage and the very vocal paternal grandmother, the jury had Raye Dawn convicted before her trial ever started. Raye Dawn was sentenced to 27 years in prison, just three years less than the man Richard Smotherman "knew to be the true murderer and sexual abuser of little Kelsey."
 

This is America, and everybody deserves a fair trial. Whether you believe Raye Dawn is innocent or not, will you ask yourself if you believe she deserves a fair trial? A trial free from media scrutiny and jury misconduct?
 

Raye Dawn does not have family or friends who are kin to Governor Henry's wife, as the paternal family/friend Jay Sigman is. But they have a strong faith and they believe in God, and they believe through God all things are possible.

 

The District Attorney has chosen to turn his back on this injustice of the imprisonment of this grieving mother. Judge Vassar will make a decision during the week of November 11th of Raye Dawn's fate. At this point, she needs a miracle in order to be granted a mistrial. The appeals process is long, and every day Raye Dawn sits in prison she is missing precious moments with the son who was taken from her arms at birth. Raye Dawn should be home with her son and grieving the loss of her daughter without the public scrutiny and brutal hatred she's faced for the past two years.
 

Will you please pray for God to move in Raye Dawn's life? Will you pray that Raye Dawn is granted a new trial? A trial that is fair and void of lies and half truths? Will you ask your church members, pastors, priests, and rabbis to pray with you? Will you ask every friend, neighbor, and relative to lift up Raye Dawn in prayer? We ask only for God's will to be done. God has brought together many dedicated supporters of the truth and we ask that you join us in prayer.

John 8:32 "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."

Thank you for your prayers and May God Bless you.

 

Friends, Family, and Supporters of Raye Dawn Smith, Kelsey's Mom
