One interesting thing to note about dogerfan's description of the fight was he/she said it happened "on the porch." That's not true. My brother didn't have a porch, so he/she could be echoing something he/she heard. Although, he/she sounds to me like he/she was there. Again, and I cannot stress this enough, I am trying to let everyone know point blank that I will tell the truth when asked a question. The truth is essential to this mess. I am not going to muddle the waters just to avoid a little embarrassment. Anyone who has looked into my life knows I have written and published hundreds of poems that are revealing about myself and what I think. The mention of one fight isn't going to hurt my reputation. As a writer, I can't hide. It's all out there. So be it. There were, in fact, many people at that party, so I can only speculate as to who dogerfan is, but if she/is telling the truth--I think it's pretty damn cowardly to hide. It certainly doesn't help Susan. For all we know, the post was from Susan herself. Or Sid. Or any one of my brother's friends who were at that party. I honestly don't know my brother's friends. My brother and I never spent that much time together, although, I certainly know him well. I have said repeatedly--Richard is no Saint, but that does not mean he is guilty of "torture." The fight itself was bad, real brotherly blood bath. I am not proud of it. The reason there were so many people at Richard's home? New Year's Eve: 2000. I did not speak to Richard after that until he landed in lock up. I find it very hard to believe dodgerfan saw Richard beat Susan, but if he did, as I've said, I will not blindly support Richard--but I will also tell you this. I believe 100% that Susan's original statements per her molestation and the dangers concerning her father are real. I worked for years as a counselor with severally emotionally disturbed people. Susan is DID. Susan is a time bomb. If Richard did hit her, I will not stand behind him, but also don't want to see him get criminally overcharged. If this is sposal, it should stay in that area.
