FEDERAL COURT,
Feb 15 – Two
days after the
end the
impeachment
trial in the
U.S. Senate,
on
Presidents Day
the mother of
indicted
insurrectionist Mathew
Miller wrote
it to DDC
Judge Randolph
Moss about her
son's
childhood, in
support of his
release (by
contrast, the
US filing is here)
"Dear
Honorable
Randolph Moss,
My name is
Michele Miller
and Mathew
Miller is my
youngest son.
This letter
has been very
difficult for
me to write
and I wish I
knew where to
begin.
I am
brokenhearted
to learn of
the criminal
charges that
my son faces.
These serious
offenses are
so out of
character for
him. Let me
start by
saying that I
am extremely
close to my
son and would
like to share
with you the
goodness that
I see in him.
From birth to
a very young
age, Mathew
attended the
Catholic
Church and
served as an
Acolyte. As a
young teen, he
began
attending the
Lutheran
Church where
he was
actively
involved in
youth Outreach
Programs.
At the
age of 5,
Mathew began
to participate
in local
sports,
including
football and
baseball; he
continued to
play baseball
through the
age of
eighteen.
Mathew's work
history began
at the age of
15 working at
a Country Club
where he
bussed tables.
From there, he
took
employment at
a local
Hardware
Store.
After a
year-and -a
-half of
college,
Mathew made
the decision
to accept a
full time job
offer with
Clenelg
Construction
Co. where he
excelled
quickly in
many different
roles.
Mathew's
father and I
divorced when
he was 7 years
old. My two
sons and I
moved into my
mother's home
for financial
reasons, as
well as a
desire to keep
them in their
same school
district. We
remain there
today and
provide elder
care for my 81
year old
mother. Due to
my
circumstances
of being a
single mother,
I relied on
Mathew more
and more as he
grew up, which
included
household
duties as well
as financial
help at times;
especially
while his
older brother
was away to
college....
At the
young age of
twenty-two, it
saddens me
that my son
has been
caught-up in a
situation
which could
stain his
reputation for
life. Other
than a
speeding
ticket, Mathew
has never been
in trouble.
Please, your
honor, I beg
you to
consider
Mathew's age,
and I hope you
will look at
my boy and his
accomplishments
as I stated
above. Please
factor all
this into
consideration
when
determining
the outcome.
Respectfully,
Michele
Miller." Full
