Joyce C. Ester, PhD
Assistant Vice President for Judicial Affairs


Dear Ms. Ester:

After our meeting on Tuesday July 6, 2010, I was very devastated. I felt worse than I did before. So to end this devastation, I’m writing this letter is to confirm a few things.

1. I feel betrayed! This incident was told to Kizzy Lopez in confidence after she saw the scars on my neck, hand and missing finger nail. No one at the office even knew I had a bad night the day before because I came to work and engaged in a professional manner.

2. I feel Set up! One moment I’m talking to Kizzy in confidence and the next moment according to my knowledge I was supposed to take a walk with her to cool off a bit. And the next thing I know I’m sitting in a room with two Police officers, The Dean of Student Affairs, Ms. Carolyn Coon and Kizzy Lopez. Because according to Maxine McDonald this was the best thing to do after Kizzy asked permission for her to go for a walk with me.

3. And Last, My rights have been violated! While sitting in the room with four higher authorities I felt obligated to speak. I didn’t feel as if I had another choice. My Miranda Rights were also not read to me. I was told that they were only there to help and minimize the conflict between Jenica Wilson and me.

And the next thing I know, I’m being prosecuted and on the verge of being put on probation, which will ruin my changes of ever attending the law schools of my choice. (Howard, Harvard, Yale, etc) The one thing that I life for, that I look forward too, that I’m still in this country for.
It has not been easy living here. Being different and alienated because of that. Americans are not too welcoming of outsiders and they make that clear and known. If you want to fit into their society, you have to speak, act and dress like they do. But either way you look at it I am still a US citizen and have these rights. And my Miranda rights were Violated during this process.
A copy of the Miranda Rights under the US-Constitution may be obtained via the Internet at the following address: http://www.expertlaw.com/library/criminal/miranda_rights.html

Also, I do not believe that you can really understand where I am coming from just by reading a poem, so I have took the liberty to give you my blog address. I believe this way you will have a much better understanding about me and where I am coming from. http://latanyakarimuruthstiner.blogspot.com
And last, I did mean it when I said I’m going to law school. Where I come from you say what you mean, and you mean what you say.


Sincerely,
Latanya Stiner
