Well this blog is dedicated entirely to Eric Volz - a cousin to my friend Alicia.
Eric Volz is from Nashville and has been living in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua for the last two years. On November 21, 2006 his ex-girlfriend Doris Ivanez Jimenez was murdered. Through pressure from the media to blame the "gringo", and against over 100 pieces of evidence NOT pointing to Eric, the judge tried and convicted Eric, sentencing him to 30 years in prison. The judge threw out all the evidence, testimonies of over 10 witnesses who was with him that day, and cell phone statements proving he made calls from Managua, two hours away at the time of the murder. He is innocent and needs our help.
The media has finally been picking up on the story and it's been covered by The Today Show twice, the Wall Street Journal, The Tennessean and soon Dateline will be doing an hour story on him.
This family needs all the encouragement and prayers possible to get Eric freed from his 30 year sentence in the Nicaraguan prison. For the full story on all the facts, prosecution and defense, or to even make donations towards funding this case, you can go to the "Free Eric Volz" website: by clicking click here

Please continue to spread the word - and I will post updates as I hear them.
God has the Victory!

Hey so I made a little blog thing thats dedicated to Charla and Mirna from the amazing race and was wondering how you post videos from youtube on your blog. I have a youtube account, and get to the stage where youtube tells you to add a blog to your account, but when I type in my username and password under "blogger" it always says that there is an error. If you have any idea what I'm talking about you can call me ( 425-330-7466) or email me (addiesandstrom@hotmail.com. I know that your at work but if you get a minute then I would love it!
