Armstrong is not a threat to society

Carol Armstrong, Clinton
Letter to the Editor

A threat to society is someone who is lost, which means someone’s heart is cold, someone hasn’t heard, someone doesn’t care, someone failed to share, someone failed to help and finally someone decided to admire the creation in this world instead of the Creator of this world.

Robert Armstrong does not qualify under this type of person.

My name is Carol Armstrong and I am related to Robert by marriage in the family. I have known Robert for 10 years. His heart is open to anyone. His words would never be “no” if someone was in need. He is a very hard worker and determined to do his best. He likes to fish and play ball, basketball. He is very trustworthy in all his affairs.

Robert worked for me, actually almost up to the time he got arrested. He babysitted my two older children. He was a boy at the age of 13 and the other was a girl at the age of 9.

I never had any problems and the children loved Robert. He took care of them like they were his. To this present day and even when my daughter ages, I would allow Robert to associate with her without hesitation.

Robert also has a daughter, and through these terrible judgments placed upon him he has recognized if it was his daughter asking for a ride, he should have been the one to ask questions like, “How old are you and why are you asking two men for a ride who you barely know?”

A mistake that he has made, that he would have been someone who had to say “no”.

I pray for Robert and I know God has a purpose and a plan for this trial, just like he did for Joseph in the Bible.

Thank you and God bless you.
