 Annex\n1020 Ward Street\nMartinez, CA 94553\nCase Number 
 5-151356-3\n\n\n\nMy name is , , , , ,\nI am the (Family Member/Friend of 
 Victim).\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!\n\n\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.\n\n\nSpecialist 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\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 (24) and Star (14) 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\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\n\nTo say the least, the financial affect on the family has 
 also been devastating.\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\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\n\nQuanah Parker Brightman\nExecutive Director
