Mary 💔

Arraignment LaviPham

Arraignment KellyLavery 

Charge - First Degree Murder. 

Details are beyond horrific. DA not seeking the death penalty. LIFE in prison. Nothing will ever be enough but Mary deserves justice at the highest level allowed by law.

Mary's Voice  💔

James Salerno Arraignment

Arraignment of James Salerno

Today was a day that the family of Mary Collins has waited for far too long. After two years, the first person accused of her murder was formally arraigned. They held each other's hand as James Salerno came out in shackles. His parents sat nearby, their faces seemed carefully blank. We can’t imagine what they are thinking or feeling. He was bigger than we had imagined, taller and perhaps well fed after two years in jail. He stood tall as he entered his plea of not guilty. This was an expected plea, as the DA is not currently entertaining a plea deal. His trial date has not yet been set and Arraignment for the others is also still pending. The whole process only took minutes. 

The progress on this case has been painfully slow.  The family showing up for court again and again, knowing that there are several separate trials ahead, each court appearance adding a layer of trauma to a situation that is already wrought with it, has been hard to witness. 

So we wait yet again for equal justice under law, however we understand that there is no true justice as Mary's life won’t ever be restored. There’s no punishment on earth that can right this wrong.

Mary's Voice

Lavi Pham

Hearing changing lawyers

The day l was in the same space as this animal. The evil emanated from him. There was nothing l could do but say his name. Make him look. That's it. The Court will not allow me to speak to the monster who brutally Murdered Mary. 

Would it help? No. What will? Nothing.


BUT IT CAN BE MADE WORSE. 


The Mecklenburg County District Attorney has the power to take these evil people to trial. To put them away for life.

Not to deal with them. How can anyone even think of doing anything else?


The only way they pay for the heinous evil they did to Mary and the only way to protect others is to put them in prison.

FOR LIFE.


Lavi Pham will be arraigned in June.

One step closer to trial. Two years and 3 months after he murdered Mary, he will be arraigned. He is looking at life in prison and society deserves no less.

America Diehl Bond Conditions

#Bond Issues #americadiehl :


On Saturday September 18, 2021.

Just over a year after #Diehl was EXTRADITED BACK to Mecklenburg County from Colorado. We received an email informing us she had been released from jail. We immediately emailed the district attorney's office to inquire about the conditions of her bond.


On Monday September 20, 2021.

The district attorney's office informed us: 

  #Diehls attorney was able to clarify the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department would not be placing an ankle monitor on or monitoring #Diehl. Charlotte Mecklenburg Police do not monitor people with murder charges.

#Diehl had posted the $100,000 through a bond company. Was released without a monitor. Furthermore, she left the county and went to Clover South Carolina.  There was no house arrest. 


 The Court had set bond with the conditions: 

#Diehl was not to leave Mecklenburg County.

An ankle monitor would be in place. #Diehl would be under house arrest. 


Nothing was going to be done about the fact that the conditions were not being met.


For us, the value of Mary's life was reduced to $10,000. 


On Thursday September 23, 2021. 

We hand delivered copies of the bond paperwork on #AmericaDiehl, from  criminal records in the Mecklenburg County Courthouse, to our Victim/Witness Coordinator. We asked that it be delivered to the district attorney. We asked that our feelings about the violation of the conditions of bond be addressed. The district attorney's office put a bond hearing on the court docket for Wednesday the following week. 


 Wednesday September 29, 2021.

 The district attorney's office told the judge that we were there to clarify  conditions of( #AmericaDiehl) bond.  #MarsysLaw gives victims the right to address the court regarding bond. We were able to address the fact that #Diehl left #MecklenburgCounty and the state. That she has no ankle monitor. Is not under house arrest. We were able to bring the paperwork to the judges attention. The judge inquired about these issues. Asking the attorney for #Diehl, Elizabeth Greene, if she had contacted the Clover Police Department regarding monitoring. She had not.

The judge directed the attorney to contact the Clover Police Department. The judge informed us that she was going to speak to CMPD regarding the ankle monitor policy. Another hearing was set for Friday of that same week.


Friday October 1st 2021

The judge was not pleased with the fact that CMPD is not monitoring murder related charges. That the State and the Attorneys continued to use it as a  condition of bond, unaware it is not available. That was made very clear. 

That our family had come to four bond hearings on #Diehl was also addressed. The judge expressed concern over #Diehls involvement in what was done to Mary. The judge imposed the following conditions on #AmericaDiehl :


A private company, paid for by #Diehl, will do ankle monitoring.

#Diehl has a curfew of 6pm to 6am.

 Not to be out prior to 6am or past

6pm.

#Diehl is to have a psychological evaluation done within 30 days.

#Diehl is to have no contact with her codefendants.

#Diehl was allowed to remain in Clover, SC. Back to her home where she lived when Mary was Murdered.


We believe #Diehl broke the terms of her bond and should have been returned to the #MecklenburgCountyJail where she belongs. We have concerns about a company that #Diehl pays doing monitoring.  We do not believe #Diehl should be out in the community at all. 

As for psychological evaluation it's too late for that.

Mary is  dead. 


A hearing to revisit, as we understand it, to clarify #Diehl is adhering to the conditions of bond, Is set for December 9, 2021 at 10:30am in room 5310 at The Mecklenburg County Courthouse...
