Kinkele=20 family struggles to explain their loss=20

BY ELAINE=20 WILSON
American staff writer=20

For two heart-wrenching days last week, the family and = friends of=20 Lt. j.g. Scott Kinkele struggled to find words to express = the loss=20 they -- and the country -- suffered when he was randomly = gunned down=20 on July 28 as he drove along Highway 20.=20

 The impression they left was vivid. He was = brilliant,=20 handsome, selfless, athletic, kind, loyal, humble, confident = and=20 beloved. Above all, he was honorable. After two days, it = became=20 clear that words fail to adequately express what an = extraordinary=20 person Kinkele was, and what he meant to those who loved = him.=20

"All the=20 superlatives aren't superlative enough," said his friend and = classmate, Lt. j.g. Shannon Callahan.=20

 Kinkele's parents, brothers, friends and classmates = came to=20 Mount Vernon Thursday and Friday to give victims' impact = statements=20 in Skagit County Superior Court. It was their day in court-- = a=20 chance to voice to their opinions and express their loss = before=20 Judge Michael Rickert passed the maximum sentences allowable = against=20 the Anacortes men who pleaded guilty to killing Kinkele.=20

 "Scott was the kindest, most honorable man I met in = my=20 life," said his friend, Ensign Jason Pomponio.=20

 "When I think of honor, Scott Kinkele is the one = I'll=20 always think of," agreed Kinkele's roommate, Lt. j.g. Wayne = Hill.=20

 One after another, friends testified about how = Kinkele had=20 joined their families, and how their children were going to = miss=20 dancing or jumping rope with him.=20

 They described the the things he gave up for them, = such as=20 the time he skipped a race for which he'd trained for months = because=20 the Pomponios had an emergency; or when he delayed entering = flight=20 school because he flew to be with a friend who'd suffered a = family=20 death.=20

 Some, such as Dr. Pedro Espina, described = death-defying=20 mountain climbing excursions, where only perseverance, quick = wits=20 and a positive attitude saved their lives.=20

 He was described as mature beyond his years, a = brilliant=20 natural leader whose senior engineering project on a = submarine=20 evacuation device caught the attention of Johns Hopkins = University.=20

 He never bragged, and took little embarrassments in = stride.=20 Once, his mother Mary said, he took a lot of teasing for a = photo=20 which appeared in  national magazines, showing him = complete a=20 marathon race behind three women.=20

 What he didn't tell his friends was that he = finished the=20 race, ran back five miles, then ran behind the women = shouting "You=20 can make it."=20

 Kinkele was a daredevil who seemed to understand=20 instinctively that he had to fit an entire lifetime into = only 23=20 years.=20

 A friend described how a mother lost a kindred = spirit, and=20 a father, who had already suffered three heart attacks and = several=20 by-pass surgeries, looks frail from his son's loss.=20

 A film of Kinkele showed him apologize to his = mother, then=20 bungee jump off a bridge. She said he told her about going = to=20 Louisiana and catching alligators with his bare hands, then = eating=20 them.=20

 "It was supposed to be a plane or mountain with my = son, not=20 some piece of white trash," she said. "He died on a county = road for=20 no reason. For no fathomable reason," she said.=20

 Others echoed that the mode of Kinkele's death was = a great=20 wrong.=20

 "Scott's been robbed of a meaningful death. He only = had one=20 life to give for his country," said Callahan.=20

 Instead, he was killed "like an animal taken down = by a=20 hunter's gun, to become roadkill for someone's inhumane = thrill,"=20 said Kinkele's brother Karl.=20

 Through their ordeal, the Kinkeles, a military = family, have=20 struggled to maintain dignity and restraint. Last month, = Judge=20 Michael Rickert commended them for their decorum, despite = the fact=20 that they were clearly unhappy that the killers would not = face the=20 death penalty.=20

 On Friday, the Kinkele family held a press = conference to=20 describe what they had been through, and to express = disappointment=20 that aggravated murder charges had not been filed against = Kinkele's=20 killers from the beginning.=20

 For two months, Mary Kinkele lobbied Skagit County=20 Prosecutor Tom Verge to seek aggravated murder charges = against the=20 killers. Verge, however, negotiated a deal allowing the = defendants=20 in the killing to plead guilty to first-degree murder, and = avoid the=20 death sentence. The Kinkele family was very unhappy.=20

 "I don't know why from the get-go aggravated murder = wasn't=20 filed," said Kinkele's brother, John Jr. "This is such a = horrific=20 crime."=20

 The family was given reasons for the decision, but = felt=20 that Verge did not want to put more energy into the case. = Kinkele's=20 brother Karl said he asked Verge why he didn't file more = serious=20 charges.=20

 "He felt the plea and the punishment that went with = it was=20 enough for him. Nothing was done to make it easier on our = family,"=20 he said.=20

 Verge has explained that the pleas resolved the = case=20 quickly, and will spare the Kinkeles and the county from = years of=20 appeals. He said that Eben Berriault's sentence is so long = that he=20 will never leave prison, and that going to a jury is always = risky.=20

 Karl said he was outraged when Verge told him he = was=20 grateful that the gun that killed Kinkele was in the trunk = when a=20 deputy pulled over Seth Anderson's car shortly before the = murder.=20

 Espina said that Verge "didn't show any sentiment = for our=20 pain, and didn't offer condolences to Mary."=20

 As angry as the Kinkeles are about the plea = bargain, they=20 don't hold it against the county.=20

 "I'm absolutely in awe of this magnificent place," = Mary=20 said. "Now I know why my son wanted us to retire here."=20

 She said strangers have opened their hearts to her, = offering prayers, condolences and hugs.=20

 "The hugs really helped," she said.=20

 One man offered to pay her expenses, and a local = farmer=20 will keep up her son's memorial next to Highway 20 as long = as he=20 lives.=20

 Most of all she has been impressed by other = mothers, who=20 have sent her beautiful, heartbreaking letters -- mothers = who are=20 profoundly scared, she said.=20

 "If it happened to me, it could happen to them," = she said.=20 "This community has been irrevocably damaged."=20

 Despite her feeling for the community, she wonders = what she=20 can say when other Navy mothers tell her their children have = been=20 stationed at NAS Whidbey Island.=20

 "I can't tell them it's a safe place. I can't tell = them=20 that the justice system will give them any assistance," she = said.=20

 The family hasn't decided whether to pursue action = against=20 the Anacortes Police Department for returning guns that were = seized=20 from the Berriault household several months before the = killing.=20

 "My number one priority is to get this family = settled and=20 out of here," she said. "We're not in a position to even = consider=20 the next step. We have to heal and we have to grieve."=20

 "It may be that the best thing for this family is = that we=20 leave and never ever come back to this part of the country," = she=20 said.=20

 But first, the family has to finish up some = business.=20

 "I have to get through tax season first," said = Mary, who is=20 a tax accountant with her husband. "We haven't worked since = July=20 28."=20

 "We probably have 75 tax returns to do between now = and Oct.=20 15," said Kinkele's father, Lt. Col. USAF (Ret.) John = Kinkele Sr.=20 They have gotten extensions on these difficult returns, in = some=20 cases by pasting the headline of an article about the = killing onto a=20 request form.=20

 "I put our business up for sale. We're not capable = of=20 meeting the fiduciary duties of our clients," Mary said.=20

 It rankles the Kinkeles that they could not get an=20 extension on the sentencing until after the tax deadline.=20

 "We begged to postpone it until after the 15th," = said John=20 Sr.=20

   The Kinkeles will also sell their family = home on=20 Ashbury Street in San Francisco, and remain in Las Vegas, = near=20 Mary's parents.=20

 "San Francisco is intolerable," Mary said."I can't = walk=20 into the home. There are fewer memories in the home in Las = Vegas, so=20 the pain isn't as severe."=20

 "This is something that changes everything," said = John Jr.=20 He said that  as a military family, they are accustomed = to=20 changes and moving, but San Francisco was their center. Now, = it will=20 no longer be home.=20

 "We're capable of doing that," he said. "Damn. We = almost=20 had a home town. And, for the sake of our sanity, we have to = let it=20 go."=20

 Breaking down, Mary said a final obscenity was that = Berriault shot Scott on her eldest son's birthday.=20

 "Instead of calling him and saying 'happy = birthday,' I had=20 to call and say 'your brother's dead. Come home. I need = you,'" she=20 said. "Any mother in this room knows that was possibly the = biggest=20 crime he's committed."=20

 "It is morally unfair that once a week or once a = month=20 (Anderson and Berriault's) mother can hold them and talk to = them and=20 love them," Mary said.=20

 She said her husband made her a promise.=20

 "Once a year he will take me to Arlington and I'll = sit next=20 to my son's grave, which I'll do every year until the day I = die,"=20 she said.=20

 Arrangements have been made so that one day John = Sr. will=20 be buried at Arlington next to his son. And, when she dies, = she will=20 be buried above=20 = them.
