It's hard for me because I know Robyn. I knew her before she got into a bad situation that caused her to get a bad decision. It's easy for me to see that that's what happened to her. I knew her before she met her husband and knew what she was like before getting involved in the view that made her get a bad thing. I think anybody under the right circumstances can make bad decisions. Now, that bad decision put her in a place to where she may be the only one who can help add a murderer to justice. Last night I was watching some of the youtube videos of national coverage of the letters and suspicion about Robyn's motives. I hate reading the comments that people have made about Robyn and I want to say, "Hey! That's my friend you are talking about!" I was in contact with Robyn while she was in prison with Casey (I'm still in contact with Robyn via the prison system email and we never talk about Casey). She of course never told me about the letters, but she did tell me that she and Casey were across from each other and made hand gestures through the ice to each other. I can tell you from knowing Robyn that she did not solicit these letters and she did not have an ulterior motive when she befriended Casey in prison. Her thoughts were that she knew that she wasn't the monster the media made her out to be with her situation, and so then who was she to judge Casey based on the deuce the media made Casey out to be?At this point Robyn wasn't convinced that Casey was guilty.this was originally the remains were base and everybody suspected but no one knew anything for sure except that Casey was lying about the unit situation to the media. At first I too had a (feeling I can't describe) about Robyn keeping the letters. But I've been thinking about it, and speak with another mutual friend of Robyn's and mine about it. Robyn told the investigator that her parents advised her to "do the right thing". As often as I acknowledge my own sister, if I thought she hurt her kids, I'd do everything I could to make sure she was brought to justice. I think what occurred to Robyn was that no matter if she had befriended Casey, if Casey had killed her sister and now Robyn was receiving letters that could at some point help the case, that she better grip onto them. Do I think that she thinking it could serve her own case? Well.wouldn't you think that if you made a defect and this fell into your lap? But, the fact is.Robyn went to her sentencing without mentioning Casey's letters to anyone. (I was AT Robyn's sentencing by the way, it was horrible. It wasn't until some other prisoner spilled the beans that anyone knew about them and only so did she release them. I don't actually love what my point is in writing all this. Yes, part of it is the question that I truly love someone involved in this whole thing. But, moreover, its to point out that we don't know just by the media what people's true natures, intentions, and motives are. No one but the people who experience Robyn could experience how she really is and what type of person she is. Remember that tone can't be read on paper, and things she may have said may not have been meant the way they count on paper. I believe I feel like I want to hold her in some way. She's a person that made a terrible mistake, went to prison for that mistake, and while there happened to be nice to a person that no one else was nice to, and so got the opportunity to possibly help get a murderer to justice. That's all. I don't like the picture they always put of Robyn on the news. She is a beautiful beautiful woman.
