    The words are powerful and the messages are clear: Madison Schemitz did not deserve to be brutally stabbed and paralyzed. Her mother didn’t deserve to be cut into pieces in an attempt to protect her daughter. Spencer Pearson deserves to be punished to the extreme.

    This is the essence of the 69 pages of victim impact letters written by 46 people to Judge R. Lee Smith, who decide Pearson’s fate on Friday.

    Pearson, now 20, pleaded guilty in July to two counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of aggravated battery causing serious bodily injury. On June 3, 2023, he followed his former girlfriend Schemitz and her mother, Jaclyn Rogerfrom Mr. Chubby’s Wings sports bar on Ponte Vedra Beach and stabbed the 17-year-old multiple times, according to court records. Roge instinctively tried to pull him away from her and she too was cut until another customer attacked Pearson and was also cut.

    Although the judge hears testimony from both sides, he also reviews letters submitted on behalf of Schemitz and his mother. Most were family friends, relatives of friends and relatives of the teenager, but also coaches, teachers, Brooks Rehabilitation staff and a 15-year-old girl who was stabbed 13 times by her father.

    Here are some excerpts.

The brutality of Spencer Pearson’s actions is unforgivable. and I urge this court to show no mercy in its decision. No mercy has been shown to my family and therefore he deserves a life sentence.

Nightmares and moments of panic that disrupt her life. Activities she once loved now remind her of that horrible day, and it breaks my heart to see her struggle to find joy in a world that seems so dangerous.

In return, you left me a vision of a woman who is so dear to my heart. looks, lost with concern in her eyes as blood dripped onto her face as she holds her daughter, which is not consistent with the There was a smell of blood in the air and my daughter was crying on my shoulder, telling me it was from you. seeing Madison stabbed so many times.”

We both now have T4 and five spinal cord injuries which immediately paralyzed us from the chest down. Unfortunately, we met in the circumstances of our trauma since we both can relate. There are very few people in this world who can understand the trauma with which. we must live each day of our life…

    “Once I heard Madison’s story, I took it upon myself to reach out to her, explaining my similar story to try to give her hope at the lowest point in her life. Madison quickly responded later that day, since she was being transferred to rehab, and responded, shocked to hear someone have a similar story The isolation and loneliness you feel during this time is a feeling of. unparalleled trauma We began to grow closer as we grew older. We explained our stories to give us hope and guide each other in our lives. You could see her loving, caring and funny personality, which shines through on screen, even though deep down I know she lives one. of humanity’s worst traumas, I know she will never be the same person as before… I knew this girl would never be able to recover mentally, it’s a mixture of anger as to. why this must have happened to you, but then you remember how wicked Spencer Pearson was. A name that will haunt her forever, a name that will never leave her head, no matter. the day.

    “At the beginning of her injury, I remember her explaining to me how she would constantly wake up with nightmares throughout the night, scared to death of experiencing that moment again and again.

Spencer Pearson’s evil running towards her holding the knife that would completely change her life. This moment can never be matched on any scale of terror, and this feeling will never leave her body.

    Madison Schemitz stabbed: Why should Spencer Pearson receive a lighter sentence in the Ponte Vedra attack on a girl and her mother?

    “Not only does she have scars all over her body now, but she also has mental scars that will never be healed. Spencer Pearson’s name should never be heard outside of prison again. Not only has it completely traumatized Madison Schemitz, he completely traumatized his mother, his friends and his family Pearson should undoubtedly be sentenced to life in prison He is the face of evil and should be punished and held accountable for his actions to murder Madison. Schemitz.
