Hiya Helio
It seems pretty obvious from this blog that you have lots of support. Just wanted to express mine as well. My husband Craig and I had the privilege of witnessing both your 500 wins (and we live here in Indy). The way you have been treated in this case leaves me speechless. But leave it to you to put on–or rather, keep on–that happy face we all adore. Good luck, let (sane) justice prevail, and know you have a legion of loyal fans in your corner.

Happy holidays to you and your family!

It appears as though I’ve been banned from posting on the helio and Julianne forum on ABC’s dwts website. They didn’t tell me so, but I am unable to post anything and several of my latest posts have been deleted. I had previously voluntarily left the Penske board with their kind peace. I suppose my comments and/or opinions about what has happened to you in your legal case is offensive to others. I just try to understand realistically why this terrible thing would be happening to you. So before I get canned from your board, Helio, I would just like to say that my heart has always had you in mind with much love and appreciation for all the good things that you have given me. I am sorry if my comments on other boards have, in any way, caused you harm or undue annoyance. Godspeed.

Hi Helio!

Just wanted you to know that I, along with so many of your other fans, are praying for you through all this mess. I have been thinking of you daily, hoping you are doing well. I’m sure you may not remember me, but I had the great pleasure and honor of meeting you a few different times at the Indy 500 this year. Remember the blond in the wheelchair that gave you the cross-stitch (it said “Go for the checkered Helio”)for your birthday? I also brought you and your crew cookies one day during quals. You are such a sweetheart and really made my day talking to me and taking pictures with me. Thank you! I can’t wait to see you again next May (I know you will be there!). Stay strong and have faith that it will all turn out positively ok?

Ahhh, Helio, our Julianne got eliminated from the show this week. I so wanted to see her & Cody in the finals with Brooke and Derek and Lacey & Lance. Trouble is, I wanted all of them to win. I don’t know how you competitors deal with losing every once in a while. It must be that positive outlook, like the kind you always display. It is what it is, now what’s next. You couldn’t imagine how many times I’ve quoted your saying, “It is what it is.” It’s like a magic phrase that lets me put my own challenges in better perspective. BTW, didn’t Julianne perform her Hallelujah Song beautifully tonight? I think that girl is finally becoming woman. She was always a woman in your company. You seemed to bring out the best of her. But when you weren’t around her anymore it was like listening to a screeching animal every time she opened her mouth. Anyway, she looked beautiful in that black dress tonight as well, didn’t she? I probably shouldn’t post this comment because it goes against my better judgment. But I feel like ignoring my conscience every once in a while and this is one of those times.

@Amy:

Amy, this is the link Tom sent to me this morning. Since We can’t find it on any major news outlets yet we aren’t sure to believe it or not. I hope not. Tom said the only way they could do this is if he wasn’t his lawyer for a period of time.

We are really worried about him as I know we all are. We’ll just all stick together and keep praying. Take care, Rhonda

@Amy:

This was part of what happened on Friday I believe…my limited understanding is that the prosecution asked he step down because of his involvement in things related to the case itself and he may be asked to testify. I’ve been keeping a lookout for further details, such as news from Penske, but so far haven’t seen anything.

@Rhonda:

Rhonda: How did your husband find out about Helio’s attorney withdrawing from the case? Is there a link you can post? This is so NOT good.
