`
`Dear Honorable Judge Curiel,
`
`Jake is the most responsible, kindest, and best person | know.. As his wife, it may seem obviousthat|
`would have thesefeelings - but he continuesto prove it to me and the world day after day. | met him in
`college at San Diego State through his brother in 2008, We were greatfriends until we started dating the
`next year and we haven't looked back since.
`
`He graduated with his bachelor's degree a semester early, andfinished his masters degree the next year.
`His dedication and hard work has never ceased to amaze me. He got his job with a company that would
`eventually be bought by Amobee,and workedfaithfully among a groupoffriends for a very long time.
`
`Since I've known Jake, he has beena pillar of family - both his and my own. He hasrepaired other's
`relationships and supported people whenthey were attheir lowest point. He has taken in multiple friends
`and family memberstolive with him/us, expecting nothing in return. When my mother was diagnosed with
`Leukemia a few years ago,it was without question that he financially supported me while | movedin with
`her to be her caretakeruntil she died years later, all the while moving in his own mother with him when
`she neededa place tostay. It was a difficult time for us to be apart and be dealing separately with such
`emotionaldistress. This was also the same timethat this case arose.
`
`Recently, we bought his mother a home. She didn’t have a place to stay and needed help. Jake, in true
`character, again rose to the occasion to make sure that she was safe and healthy. Since then, she has
`been able to regain her health and mend relationships that she had abandoned. You can truly hear the
`differencein her voice since Jake helped her.
`
`Jake's closestfriends are his brothers and father. He facilitated getting his brother, Rick, a job at Amobee
`years ago and Rick returned the favor recently with his new job at Launch Media Solutions. We have
`frequent barbecueswith his family and welove to gather andcatchup.
`
`Wehavea very tight knit circle of friends who would run to help Jake at the dropof a hatif he neededit -
`as would he to them. Weare very lucky to be surrounded by so many good people.
`
`Another way Jake serves his community is through his involvement with the homeowners association. He
`giveshis time to make the community a consistently better placeto live and helps our neighbors time and
`time again with anything that they might need.
`
`Theseare all concrete facts that | am writing about. | could useall of the adjectives in the world to
`describe him, and|will - loving, smart, responsible, kind, consistent, well rounded, understanding... He is
`the best. This case has been hard on usand welook forwardto puttingit in our past. | support him 100%,
`as doesour entire sphere offriends and family. Weall know of his good heart and his pure intentions. Our
`future is bright and we look forward to moving on!
`
`Sincerely,
`
`
