The messages I have received regarding Ria continue to reinforce the depth of her impact on those around her. I am currently organizing these testimonials to ensure they are presented clearly when the time comes to address the state. This process remains a quiet but necessary endeavor to highlight her character inside the legal system.

In light of time served and the fact that the weapon was not in her immediate possession, I urge that the case against be set aside.

Ria needs to be home with her family. She wasn’t shown mercy before, and actually an injustice was done. Don’t make the same mistake, locking her up when she’s not guilty. She has proven to be a productive member of society. She loves her children and that’s her entire world. They need her home.

Ria, while not perfect, is not a violent criminal. To propose jail time for a non violent person is a waste of tax payer money, and a crime against humanity.

Ria Schumacher is wonderful person, with a charismatic disposition. She is a wife, mother, daughter, and sibling to a beautiful family that loves her, and needs her in their life everyday. Ria works hard for her family, and community in which she resides. I ask as a friend of Ria for leniency in this matter. Thank you for your time, patience, and understanding.

I have known RIA on both sides of the wall She has been a positive role model to many including myself watching her growth in so many ways has been nothing but a learning experience and proof that she has succeeded at all shes attempted. RIA does not belong in jail shes not prison material

Ria is a upstanding citizen and lives for her family. She has no business in that penitentiary. I was her best friend growing up and the whole time she was behind Bars she was writing me and I was writing her. I still have a book of her letters and I promise you she has a heart of gold. She is one of the most intelligent women I've ever met in my life. She would give you the shirt off her back and do anything for those children. She is such an excellent mother and those children would be lost without her. She has already lost half of her life, don't make her lose anymore.
