BRETT DILLON Jr - 2 yo -(2009) Tucson AZ
Brett Dillon, Junior died of suspected child abuse just short of his second birthday.His mother, Melissa Bizilia is one of two people charged with murder in his death;
but now she'll be allowed to be free pending trial, living with her father out of state.How can someone facing a murder charge be free without bond?When the 9-1-1 call came in on Brett Dillon Junior the claim was he fell in the bathtub and hit his head.He died two days later.Soon Tucson Police decided his death was no accident, but child abuse, and murder.Melissa Bazilia and her boyfriend Ryan Sullivan have been in jail waiting for trial for more than a year.Their bond was a half million dollars.Now Judge Howard Fell agreed to let Bazilia out of jail until her trial starts in February.There's no bond, just the promise to live with her father in Wisconsin.For the baby's father, it's hurt on top of hurt.A reporter asked Brett Dillon:"When you think of her situation versus your son's situation what do you think?Dillon said, "I feel, she should feel the same thing he's feeling right now. Her being in jail right now is basically the same situation. He's not able to live in the free world and I don't think she should either."Bazilia's attorney says she asked for the release when prosecutors asked to push back the trial. They asked for delay because Ryan Sullivan's attorney's added new witnesses prosecutors need time to research.Assistant Public Defender CeCelia Valentine says the delay led to so many scheduling conflicts the trial slipped from this month to February. That would lead to another six month in jail for someone innocent until proven guilty.Valentine says of the boy's father: "I can understand that he might be frustrated and he might be angry. But this is really unfortunately out of our control and so, letting her out was actually in the best interests of justice in this case."
On bond matters, judges often rely on the advice of Pima County Pre-Trial Services. That agency's report recommends releasing Melissa Bazilia to her father's custody, but also notes prosecutors' objections because the charges are so serious and because they regard Melissa Bazilia as a flight risk.Her attorney says while with her father in Wisconsin, Bazilia will be required to check in several times a week, but will not have anything like an ankle bracelet or home visits from authorities in Wisconsin.

They let her go free until trial?? I have never heard of anything so stupid & irresponsible in my life. She has been charged with murder for goodness sake, it doesn't matter if the trial isn't for another ten years, her ass should be behind bars.
This really burns my butt, no monitor or anything--unfkgbelievable.
RIP Brett, your safe now baby. God Bless!

Welcome Brett. I am so very sorry for your loss. It must be very difficult for you knowing your son's mother is not behind bars. I am not a US citizen so can't sign your petition unfortunately but I'm sure others will. The link you provided goes to a site explaining petitions. Do you have another link that goes directly to your petition?brettdillon21 wrote:I have created a Petition to try and get signitures to give to the judge to not let her our, if possible if i can get people to sign that it would be such a huge help.

I, too, have signed this petition. It seems incredulous that a Judge would allow this arrangement under these circumstances. Normal bail would be set in the multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars in a case like this and there would be no leaving the jurisdiction. If she needs to be with dad so bad, have him set up temporary housing in Tucson.

Re: BRETT DILLON Jr - 2 yo -(2009) Tucson AZ
I would be happy to do that Mr Dillon but I see no need at this point as "sticky-ing" the topic is not necessary. As long as we keep posting it will remain toward the top position in this section.

Charges are dismissed in tot's death
February 19, 2011
A Pima County Superior Court judge dismissed murder and child-abuse charges against a Tucson couple accused of killing the woman's 1-year-old child, but he hasn't ruled on whether charges can be refiled.
Judge Howard Fell dismissed the case against Melissa Julie Bizilia, 22, and Ryan Fitzgerald Sullivan, 34, at the request of prosecutors when the original pathologist on the case changed his mind about what may have killed Brett Dillon, Bizilia's son.
The doctor originally said the baby died of blunt-force trauma to the head but now says a heart ailment may have caused the boy to pass out and strike his head. The doctor and defense experts say the ailment could've caused excessive bleeding in the brain.
Defense attorneys Bobbi Berry and CeCelia Valentine lambasted the Pima County Attorney's Office on Friday for filing charges against their client without waiting for autopsy results and then continuing to pursue the case despite an autopsy indicating the boy had the heart ailment.
They asked Fell to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning prosecutors would not be allowed to refile the case.
"They knew from the beginning there were medical issues that needed to be explored," Berry said of prosecutors.
Deputy Pima County Attorney Susan Eazer asked for the case to be dismissed without prejudice to allow for additional testing.
Fell ordered Sullivan to be released from jail immediately.
Bizilia's bail was lowered from $500,000 to zero in September. She is living out of state but had to check in regularly with court officials here.
