Rebecca Beach Smith

[Redacted by Ed.] She doesn’t take into consideration the defense lawyer’s recommendations, nor does she follow the new law for the 2 point reduction. She pretty much denies everyone that comes across her desk even if the person qualifies. She loves to separate families and gives unfair sentences. This woman has got to be the most cold hearted person living.

[Redacted by Ed.] She sentenced my daughter to 12 years, who never hurt anyone or killed anyone. Instead, sentence her to federal prison for 12 years. My daughter has 9 children, My daughter was a drug addict, not a murderer. I have reviewed murder cases and the person didn't get 12 years. My grandchildren are injured...PTSD...separation withdrawal...My daughter's case was compared to the Pill Mill in Portsmouth and these guys didn't get any jail time. She was charged with Methodone pills, she had 3 pills on her. charged with a pink gun. No gun was ever produced in evidence, but she continues to get 5 years for a gun charge. The Prosecutor is the most corrupted in Hampton Roads. The Judge used emails to help convict my child. My daughter suffers from Bipolar and paranoid schizophrenia. My daughter committed a crime yes, but does she deserve to miss every graduation, Christmas, or birthday, with her children..No...Did she deserve to sit on State Soil for 4 years as a Federal Prisoner..NO. WE all have been Prodigal children at some point and time in our lives. We serve a forgiving God. My daughter gave birth to her youngest child while incarcerated. She gave Birth handcuffed to the bed and now something to this day is wrong with my grandbaby"s right leg. If you ever went through postpartum pregnancy, then you would know that what you feel is real and not a time to be asked to make a plea deal....never offer a mental evaluation. I am not being an over-protected Mother, But right is right, and wrong is wrong. [Redacted] which is now my duty and honor to show abuse of power. [Redacted]
