Jason Aro Frank was assaulted outside an establishment in Alamogordo, while waiting with a friend for their designated driver. It was an unprovoked attack. A senseless random act of violence. The defendant was convicted by a jury of his peers. He was evaluated by a professional and a recommendation for prison time was made. Yet the defendant was allowed to walk away without having served any jail time.
Jason's parents continue to live in New Mexico. His brother Luke attends college in another state. Jason's widow continues to live in their home in Arizona. Together they collectively continue to live their "life sentence". Life without their loved one. They will receive no "time off" for good behavior.
Jason's last humanitarian act was as an organ donor. Bringing the gift of hope and life to others.

Jason being involved in a fight would have to be unprovoked, wouldn't it? He was always so nice and easy going.
I remember his first day at Del Norte. He had just moved from Wyoming and could not understand why we were so excited about the "dusting" of snow outside. We had a hard time explaining to him that any snow was cause for celebration at school. He kept his love for Wyoming. He used to tape the AP Top 25 basketball polls inside his locker at BMS. He kept saying the Cowboys were going to beat the Lobos those years.
