Kenzi Snider has been arrested in connection with the murder of Jamie Penich while both were exchange students in Korea. Kenzi's friends and family do not believe the charges are true, and fear that she has been set up as a scapegoat. We ask for true justice to be served. This site has been set up by Murph (murph@commonmonkeyflower.net), a friend of Kenzi's, as a source of updates on the case.

(sent from Kenzi's mother:)
We have news concerning Kenzi's hearing. Her lawyer just sent an e-mail to me: Magistrate Judge Taylor has postponed Kenzi's extradition hearing. We do not have a new date. I must give the government a report from Prof. Ofshe by August 12. On August 20, we are having a conference call to set a date. He will hear Prof. Ofshe's testimony. Now there may be some hope.
I hope the end result will justify the time Kenzi sits in jail waiting. I will send out another update after 20 August, when I know when the new hearing date is.
My guess is Kenzi will be feeling pretty bad about this news. If you would like, please send a note or a card to keep her spirits up. Keep praying that all will fall neatly in line and she will be coming home soon.
Thank you for all your support! Heath Bozonie (Kenzi's mom)

(sent from Kenzi's mother:)
Kenzi was very excited and happy on her birthday. She got all kinds of cards from people she hadn't heard from for a long time, her friends and well-wishes. One of the guards sang "Happy Birthday" and she even got to see the stars! Thank you everyone for helping make this happen. I think she will remember everyone's kindness and support for the rest of her life. She told me she thinks she "is one of the luckiest people in the world."
We have very good news about Kenzi's hearing, too: We have hired Prof. Richard Ofshe at U.C. Berkeley to testify about the means used to get the confession. He just underwent hip surgery and isn't supposed to travel until August 12. For that reason, I have asked that the hearing be postponed. I will let you know if the date is changed.
One of the key factors used to determine the accuracy of any confession is the way in which it fits with or is contradicted by other facts. It may mean a few more days on this end of the hearing, but she will be free and proven innocent forever!
Pray with all your might! Good things are happening! Kenzi has started a Bible Group, and is still helping with the GED program (and she has sent home a funny little pamphlet about "Jail Survival Skills"). Her faith is stronger than ever.
Thank you all so very much! Heath Bozonie (Kenzi's mom)
