 Ward Street\nMartinez, CA 94553\nCase Number 5-151356-3\n\nMy name is , , , 
 , ,\n\nI am the (Family Member/Friend of Victim).\n\nOn July 3rd, 2015, 
 Lakota Gall Brightman, was murdered by the defendant. The facts of the case 
 were proven beyond a reasonable doubt and your verdict was rendered 
 guilty!\nWords cannot express the pain and anguish our family and friends 
 have endured since Lakota Gall Brightman's murder. The defendant decision 
 to take the life of a human being with no regard for the effects it has had 
 on Lakota Gall Brightman Friends and Family is unimaginable.\n\nThe loss of 
 Lakota Gall Brightman is beyond words. Lakota Gall Brightman was born on 
 December 25th 1969 in Rapid City, South Dakota to parents Lehman and Trudy 
 Brightman. He was the second of three children. Lakota attended Delmar 
 Elementary School, Portola Junior High School, and graduated from El 
 Cerrito High School in 1988. His earlier years were spent advocating for 
 Native American Rights along with his family and the Organization founded 
 by his father Lehman and carried on by his brother Quanah, United Native 
 Americans. United Native Americans was and are still very active in Native 
 american rights and the promotion of progress and general welfare of Native 
 Americans. Specialist Lakota Gall Brightman served 6 years in the 
 California Army National Guard, 235th Engineer Company (Sapper) as an Army 
 Field Medic from August 11, 2007 to his date of separation on August 10th, 
 2013. Lakota was ordered into active service in 2007 in support of 
 Operation Enduring Freedom Afghanistan. \n\nHe is remembered as a gentle 
 and kind hearted human being who wanted to help others and was a beloved 
 son, brother, nephew, cousin, uncle, father, friend and hero. He is 
 preceded in death by his mother Trudy Brightman and his older brother 
 Lehman Brightman III. Lakota is survived by his Daughters, Phoebe (23) and 
 Star (13) Brightman his brother Quanah Parker Brightman, father Chief 
 Lehman L. Brightman, aunts Nancy and Lorelie Oldlodge and uncles, Anthony 
 David Clairmont and Donald Oldlodge. Taken too soon, Lakota is warmly 
 remembered and greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.\n\nThere will 
 be no more birthday parties, backyard gatherings, holiday celebrations or 
 other family activities to share. The laughter, hugs, guidance/advice, 
 sense of security and those opportunities to say, “I love you” are 
 forever gone. Our family is forever “broken”.\n\nTo say the least, the 
 financial affect on the family has also been devastating.\n\nCompassion is 
 a word commonly used for and by defendants. However, I ask, how much 
 compassion the defendant considered when the decision was made to murder 
 Lakota Gall Brightman?\n\nIt is the request of the family that the maximum 
 penalty for the crime for which the defendant was convicted be imposed. On 
 behalf of the family of Lakota Gall Brightman, I wish to express my 
 sincerest gratitude for allowing this opportunity of expression.\n\nQuanah
