Letter to the Board of Parole concerning the denial of parole..... I wish I had the money to fly out there and be her voice and her face....
Edward Preciado-Nuno has only been in Jail for 4 years.....this is the sentence
minimum...the max is 8 in this first offense. If he gets parole he will have the 2nd offense to contend with. A minimum of another 4 years - 8 years. Full sentence for killing Kimberly is 16 years....NO PAROLE!
Dear Commissioners of the Board of Parole in the State of Nevada,
I am writing you in remembrance of my daughter Kimberly. I am her voice
and her face and her biological mother.
It has been nearly six years since Kimberly’s life was brutally taken
away from us, by a man who was trained in the beginning to take lives as a veteran
and later to save lives as a former sheriff and FBI agent.
Every day is a struggle to get through this reprehensible experience!
On Nov 12, 2008, I received a phone call by Kimberly as we often would
communicate every week or so. This time was different. I was on the phone
nearly 2 hours discussing the recent events surrounding her and Jeffrey’s
problems of fighting, arguing and abusive behavior. Along with the presence of
Edward harassing her and blaming her. She was upset and resolved to the fact
that it was over and she had to leave.
In tears, she assured me that she had a place to go and was planning to
leave that very weekend.
The next day she was intentionally, brutally, maliciously enticed into
a confrontation that would ultimately end her life.
Two years later I attended the trial and saw the testimony for
myself. Every day I attended the trial.
I saw the pictures of her lifeless body. I heard how he knocked her off her
feet in a way only a trained operative can, continuing to hammer her more than
36 times, crushing her skull, leaving no part of her body untouched, from head
to toe, a broken wrist and more leaving Edward with a slight contusion on his
forehead.
This man lured my daughter into a confrontation with the intent to
incriminate her using a hidden video camera. In my view that is gross misuse of
his power and FBI experience. He sent his son away so that he could handle the
intended confrontation. I find this to be a conspiracy to incriminate my
daughter. When she felt that something was going wrong she made several
attempts to call Jeff to come home and help her, he ignored her calls. She was
trapped inside that garage with 2 of her children sleeping inside. You can
imagine a mother challenged in this way.
No one will ever know exactly what happened. The evidence was vast, yet only a specific
amount was allowed to enter the trial.
This man showed no remorse at the time of the killing and claimed self
defense, continuing to show his arrogance throughout the trial.
There is much to question in all of the details/facts of this case.
Many of which were not revealed in the court room. EVERY BIT OF IT STINKS!
However, several days before Christmas, Edwards’ fate was decided by a
jury. Do you think the jurors wanted justice or did they want to be home with their
families for Christmas?
Kimberly was beautiful mom with a loving heart and gentle smile. Her 4
children left motherless. She was a daughter, a sister and a friend to many who
knew her. Many, many lives were torn apart that day, never to be the same again.
This man selfishly and brutally took Kimberly’s life with no
consideration for anyone but himself and his son. There will never be justice
in this horrific death. This man does not deserve parole from this extremely
light sentence handed him. His training should have prevented this, yet his
arrogance perpetrated it. In my view he
knew exactly what he was doing and when Kimberly did not see it his way he was
infuriated and took measures to change that. Well….. HE DID IT! HE HAMMERED HER
UNTIL ALL LIFE WAS GONE! Not once, not twice, but 36 times….at any moment he
could have stopped. But no, he had to
complete the act, so no one could tell their side of the story that would have
revealed his original intent.
Giving this man parole would leave me and many others to the conclusion
that our justice system is UNJUST and gives lenience to the killer and leaves
the victims behind and one dead! One dead with no voice! Never too see her son
Kyle graduate, her daughter, Katie’s prom, her son Cody get married or her son
Jacob start his first day at school. Please consider the victims in this case and
do not allow this man a voice or an opportunity to the very things he took
from Kimberly, her family and her friends.
Please hold this man accountable for his acts! DENY PAROLE!
Thank you for the opportunity to speak on Kimberly’s behalf as well as
her half sister, my daughter, Andrea’s behalf as well as my own behalf!
Sincerely and with great sorrow,
Beverly Saunders
