October 16, 2009 – A reporter from ABC’s 20/20 interviewed Kelle.  At the same time, Kelle’s oldest sister, Aquilla Schafer, and her husband, Bill, were also interviewed.  The story is expected to air sometime in November.

November 6, 2009 – The sentencing hearing took place at the Riverside County Courthouse in Murrietta, CA.  The Judge started the proceedings with comments from both families.  Bill Schafer, representing the family, went first to give hope to Kelle and to encourage him.  Bill finished his comments by saying he was proud of Kelle for his faith and for not wavering from the truth and knows that one day Kelle will be exonerated.  Isabelle’s sisters also commented.  With anger and emotion they continued to lash out at Kelle, calling him a monster.  After the statements, the judge gave the ruling of the maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.  Since ABC’s 20/20 were in the courtroom filming the hearing, the judge appeared to be grandstanding in making his own comments before he read the sentence.  The Judge’s unnecessary comments caused pain for Kelle’s family as he called Kelle “evil” and kept repeating that the evidence was overwhelming, even though there was no evidence at all.

As soon as the sentencing hearing was over, the Public Defender’s office filed the appeal paperwork to get the process started.
