The latest from Heath and Kenzi; looks like things are gradually going right:

Hello Everyone-
 
Today was the Prosecutor's Day and he asked not one single question.  In fact after getting all the rest of the paper work form the states, he submitted only one document, the that siad the US government knew the FBI and CID were going to question Kenzi (the authority to investigate).  And he requested a 7 year sentence for a guilty verdict.
 
The Defending laywer made a counter that the FBI are on about the same level as the KNP (Korean Police) in questioning skills and that is why no confession is admissible unless obtained by the Government prosecutors (who are specially trained and highly skilled) and that there had been considerble force and stress applied) and therefore the confession should not be admissible.  That there was no cooperation between the governments before the questioning.  And that there is no evidence that links Kenzi to the crime.
 
The new court date is 14 October at 10:00, and it will be the verdict!  There is a possibility that when she is found innocent the case will go to the Supreme Court, though.  The Supreme Court reviews the case for legalities, or sometimes makes a new legal decision.  
 
We were in court for about 15 minutes but then our lawyer gave a summary of what happened today and what could happen at the next hearing.  I am so impressed with these lawyers and thank God for this gift!! 
 
Please pray that the court case will not continue to the Supreme Court, or if it does, that we will home by Thanksgiving (all is possible).  We would love to participate in all the showers and activities for my son's wedding and Christmas at home would be a good thing!! 
 
Most Sincerely, Heath and Kenzi
