The Academy and that girl who accused Smith (who had a relationship with an enlistee) should be utterly ashamed of themselves. My opinion of the Academy has gone down the tubes since this whole charade first began."ichbinaljhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968729252544011395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6493142765016058848.post-85253501724965971592007-11-30T11:20:00.000-08:002007-11-30T11:20:00.000-08:00God-Fearing said: "Perhaps the truth will prevail ...God-Fearing said: "Perhaps the truth will prevail and justice will finally be served...the prosecutors felt that it was enough information but I know, personally, that the jurors were looking for more.

I am going to be honest with you, Shelly Raudenbush and I grew up in Pennsylvania. Gradauted from Council Rock High school in 2002. She attended the Coast Guard academy. Shelly and I dated in high school, and she was not the most faithful of girlfriends, and I know of other guys she dated, whom she cheated on. So I was wondering if she was actually the other party involved in Cadet Smith's trial, especially since all other articles involving Webster Smith fail to mention her. <BR/> I assumed since Shelly Raudenbush isn't exactly a common name that it was the same person. Shelly did move to our school, when we were in elementary school. The Shelly that I know was very active with the track team. <BR/> I assure you I am not out for any kind of revenge, I am more or less just curious about an old acquaintance, and if she is a party to all of this, and what you say is true, then I have great sympathy for Mr. Smith. <BR/> <BR/>Thank you for your time.<BR/> <BR/>Regards,<BR/> <BR/>Doug Gennaichbinaljhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968729252544011395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6493142765016058848.post-29034889818740977162007-11-29T15:54:00.000-08:002007-11-29T15:54:00.000-08:00Marvin Kierstead wrote: "My Name is Marvin Kierste...Marvin Kierstead wrote: "My Name is Marvin Kierstead. I was recently<BR/>> guided to a blog posting of<BR/>>your's by my friend, Doug Genna. I found your thoughts on the witness, Shelly Raudenbush, of the Webster Smith case interesting and accurate in that I can confirm allegations about her past. Not<BR/>> only am I one of the Boys of Council Rock Class of 2002 which you wrote of, but I too am one of<BR/>> Shelly's high school boyfriends. After dating<BR/>> Shelly for the first few<BR/>> weeks during my senior year, I found that she had cheated on Doug with me at the start of our relationship. Since then, Doug and<BR/>> I have become friends. This act of infidelity on Shelly's part was not an isolated occurance. In<BR/>> fact, Doug's involvment with Shelly started as a result of her cheating on another friend of mine. My relationship with Shelly<BR/>> ended during the summer after our senior year of high school. As we went to different colleges,<BR/>> Shelly and I promised to stay faithful towards one another in continuing our relationship. It turned out that she took the<BR/>> first opportunity to betray me with a fellow Coast Guard Cadet. A close friend of Shelly's<BR/>> informed me of this and added that Shelly laughed about her infidelity and claimed she would do it again if given the chance. <BR/>I apologize for making this message as lenghty as it is, but I<BR/>> feel I should validate a claim that was stated in you blog. I enjoyed what you wrote, but cannot say it came as a suprise.
