I'm sure you all have heard of the band Destructor. Some of you even know the guys in Destructor. Some of you even know the entire history of the band Destructor and the tragic,  senseless murder of Dave Iannicca, original Destructor bass player, in 1988. For those of you who are not, please continue reading:

In the early morning hours of New Year's Day 1988, Robert Bedzyk (inmate # A204234) murdered David Iannicca in a surprise attack without provocation. Bedzyk, a stranger, had crashed a small private party the band was hosting to celebrate Dave's recent Christmas Eve engagement to his girlfriend and his band's first major label record deal after years of hard work. Dave was the bass player for the band, who had a very devoted international following. After Bedzyk began causing trouble, Dave politely asked him to leave. Checking later to make sure he had gone, Dave was surprised to see Bedzyk waiting outside in the parking lot. Concerned about Bedzyk causing more trouble to the guests or damage outside to the area the band leased for their practice spot, Dave approached and asked him again to leave. When Dave refused Bedzyk's taunts to fight, Bedzyk plunged a knife he had hidden behind his back directly into Dave's heart, nearly cutting it in two. Dave was unarmed and unaware of the knife before it was too late. He was handicapped with a spinal condition and unable to dodge the knife. He died minutes later with his fiance and band members by his side. To this day Bedzyk has shown no remorse for the crime he committed and the lives his actions both directly and indirectly effected.

This animal is up for parole in May 2009. I am writing to you in hopes that you will sign the petition that is addressed to the Ohio Parole Board. If enough of us sign this petition, (see link below), the parole board may deny Robert Bedzyk the freedom to walk the street, the freedom to live, to love, and everything else he took away from Dave and his family and friends.

I plan to write a letter and send it to the parole board. I encourage you all to take a moment and write a letter to the address below in an attempt to flood the parole board's office with letters all screaming out the same thing: Keep Robert Bedzyk in prison!

Letters must be received no later than April 15, 2009.
