Quinn Witherspoon’s family has received cold shoulderIn reference to a recent article in the R&L, I fail to see the love and respect that the officers have for Quinn Witherspoon.
During the 2006 Memorial Ride, I, along with others, witnessed the disrespect of Bobby Witherspoon, Quinn’s father. Dad was there with his children and Quinn’s children to show respect, love and honor to Quinn, but what occurred that day made us decide to no longer be a part of something that Quinn would not be proud of nor take part in.
Only a few officers spoke to Dad even though at the 2005 Memorial Ride it was stated that no matter what the future held the department would always be there for the Witherspoon family and Quinn’s children.
Since Misty’s arrest, with few exceptions, they have not contacted Dad, Mom nor the children.
At the 2006 Memorial Ride, Dad had to purchase Katherine, Seth and Sydney’s Memorial Ride T-shirts! Dad and Quinn’s children were left out of the ride procession, having to stop at all lights, and missing the entire ride until they arrived at Midtown Sundries.
I was reprimanded for taking any riders who wanted to honor Quinn in his hometown of Mooresville, by taking the ride past his home, grave and his route back to Concord. I asked for the ride to come through Mooresville but was denied because of hatred toward Misty.
Concerning the 2007 Memorial Ride, we were not notified of the date and time. We read about it in a biker magazine. I guess you can say we were not wanted nor invited.
To say you respect and love Quinn, you have to love and respect the very people that made him the wonderful person he was. To say you love and respect Quinn and then treat his mother, father and children in the fashion in which you have treated them is a disgrace to Quinn, who loved and honored his mother and father, who loved and adored his children, and, yes, who loved and honored Misty.

Sabrina,
As you can see, nobody is even responding to your "pity me" posts. Fortunately, Quinn is in our lives every day, often helping "us" make it through the day. Quinn will always be with us, every moment, however, we are going to leave the controversary behind us, simply a memory. Good luck and may God bless you!
You are pathetic Sabrina!!!!!
How can you expect anyone to do anything for you? The way you have treated the people who wanted to help the children is unforgivable. We all heard you tell the officers to stay away from you and the kids. They are still very much helping financially, you just won't let them help any other way. There are lot's of people out there that would love to raise the children and get them out of the sick environment that they are in. I hope for these children in the New Year to be able to form their own opinions and not have yours crammed down their throats every day. It's sad what you are doing to them and I'm not sure God will ever forgive you. As for Misty, she's right where she belongs not only this New Years but for every New Years for the rest of her sorry, excuse for a life. As far as I'm concerned, she has it too good where she is. Getting make overs and working in the prison store is way too good for her and if it were up to me, my tax dollars wouldn't give her anything after what's she's done. At least she gets to take a breath this New Year. Quinn doesn't even have that. The snapped show comes on this sunday, monday and tuesday. I hope they show the monster she really is. The monster who took away her childrens father and mother over a few trinkets. Was it worth it Misty? Was it worth what your children are going through? I bet if you got out now, you would be killing someone else in a years time in order to hide more of your crimes. Witherspoon family stop expecting something from everyone you meet especially from the ones that you've treated so badly. Do you even know when enough is enough? Just keep out of the papers and off the television and maybe the kids will have a chance but if you keep this whinning, complaining, and lying, it's going to ruin their entire life. Please do this for Quinn. He loves those kids. Don't keep hurting them. God have mercy on your souls if you do.
Sabrina,
I have stayed away from this controversy since Quinn's Death in 2005. He was one of my best friends at the department before I quit in late 2004. You probably have no idea how much he meant to these brave men and women.
I will say that police officers, even ones as great and honorable as your brother, are forced to be cynical and questioning of the people they deal with.
But you seem to think that all of the skepticism and disbelief that an officer uses to keep him alive on a daily basis should be suspended or completely set aside just because you say so.
Sabrina,
We all know that your father laid down his burden at Quinn's grave the day we placed him at rest. But the day he was murdered, everyone knew exactly what happened. There was no need to wait for a jury trial. No need to suspend judgment. We knew exactly how careful Quinn was in his job. We all new the "tragic accident" story was fake. The night I hugged Misty, I knew I was hugging a murderer.
Your family is fully within it's rights to stand by misty in her vain attempt to portray herself as an innocent victim.
But in all actuality, everyone knows exactly what happened. Your attempt to exile the very people who kept your brother safe while on the job for over 10 years has placed you into this position.
You have placed the condition that you don't want help or consideration from anyone who doesn't share your misguided interpretation of your brothers death.
Perhaps when the children are older, they will come to those of us that really knew Quinn and ask us about his life and who he was. Until then, I pray that you will not further warp their minds into believing a fairy tale because the truth is too hard for YOU to handle...
omg-you said it best, quinn loved his family.and the people shouls have respected him for that, sorry to hear about your ride. my family rides here in california, we have never seen such disrespect.god bless you quinn, misty and children
