Tomorrow, I have to walk into a courtroom and testify against a man who threatened to take me and my baby “out” after my child was born. He had a public countdown to my due date, from an anonymous account called “Himothy”.
A man who became obsessed with me after I began reporting on the Karmelo Anthony case. A man who targeted me because I refused to stop speaking. Because I refused to be intimidated. Because I would not back down from telling the truth.
This man, Tyrone Gilyard, made repeated threats toward me, my family, and my unborn child. Threats about harming me. Threats about coming after me once my baby arrived. Threats meant to terrorize me into silence.
He was found by the FBI and CID, arrested, extradited back to Texas, placed on 10 years straight probation… and then violated that probation almost immediately. He was then rearrested.
And tomorrow, I have to sit in the same room as him.
I won’t lie - I am anxious. I am emotional. And I am praying for strength. No mother should ever have to hear the kinds of things that were said to me while carrying a child. No woman should have to fear what someone obsessed with destroying her may do next. A pregnant mother should be looking forward to her due date, not dreading it out of fear of what would happen
Please pray for me tonight and tomorrow morning. Pray that I have the right words. Pray for peace over my mind. Pray for protection over my family. And pray that justice is served.
No matter how uncomfortable this is, I will not be silenced.
