To whoever still cares,

My name is Samantha Joy Puckett. I am writing this letter to try to apologize to everyone I know for any wrongdoing I may have commited upon them in my life time. You see, in 10 days, barring a miracle from heaven, I will be put to death by lethal injection in the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Gig Harbor, Washington. I was wrongly convicted of the double murders of one Charles Cornelius Gibson, otherwise known to me and my friends as Gibby, and one Valerie Marie Greene. That was two years ago, and because I was sixteen at the time of my trial, our glorious legal system declared me old enough to be tried as an adult.

To Carly Shay, thanks for putting up with my crap over the years. I know I was never easy to deal with, and I gave you more than enough headaches due to my treatment of our good friend Freddie Benson, but somehow we made it through. I am remembering that stupid fight we got in helping Fleck and Dave, and I sincerely apologize for ever starting it to begin with. You mean more to me than most of my own family, and I will miss you the most after I am executed. No one has been more like a sister to me than you, not even my twin sister Melanie. Make sure Spencer and Freddie are taken care of after I am gone, and under no circumstances are you to attend my execution.

To Freddie Benson, wow, of everybody I ever picked on in good old Ridgeway High School, you got probably the most. I sincerely apologize for every punch, every wedgie, every insulting thing I ever said to you. I don't think you'll ever know how much I truly care for you. You are, after all, one of the nicest boys in all of Ridgeway, hell maybe all of Seattle. Thank you for standing by me during my arrest, and defending me so hard during my trial. It is unfortunate that iCarly was all but canceled after I was arrested, but you and Carly had your reasons. I must also apologize for every time I ever insulted your mother. She may appear crazy, but she really does have your best interests at heart. It breaks my heart when I think that you'll never know I love you.

To Principal Ted Franklin, I am sorry for how much of a pain in the ass I was over three years. You defending me at my trial was greatly appreciated, and I thank you with all I have. Your faith in me has kept me going these two years, when I would have given up otherwise. You knew my delinquent side better than most, and we both know I am not capable of murder on my worst day. It's unfortunate that the jury was blinded by all the evidence to the contrary.

To Nevel Papperman, tough nubs. I have nothing to apologize to you for, I would rather remind you that Carly will NEVER love you. Let it go, or so help me, I will find a way to haunt you from beyond the grave. And if you don't back off, I think I can arrange one last beating before I exit this Earth. I want to make it crystal clear to you that if I were never charged with killing two people, one of whom I considered a friend, iCarly would still be wiping the floor with Nevelocity. And if by some miracle, I am exonerated, iCarly will make its grand return to the internet.

To Spencer Shay, as I never had a brother, i felt as close to you as I did Carly. Your art was some of the best work I've ever seen. Do not let my death stop you from making the sculptures you so love to make. I'll be watching, and I expect to see buisness as usual. I also have to say a big thank you, as you were the one who paid for my lawyer. Please know that even though I was convicted, I don't blame you, you were my second lawyer after all, and a valuble member of my defense team in the case of Washington State vs. Samantha Puckett. I would not change that for anything, even if it did get me convicted.

To Gibby, I know it's two years too late, but I sincerely apologize for all the hell I put you through. We both know I didn't kill you, and if it comes to that it comforts me to know that at least we'll see each other again in heaven. Do not blame Tasha, she saw what most people did and jumped to an unfortunate conclusion. She later visited me and we made amends.

And so, now I leave you all. Please remember me fondly, as I have remembered you, and try to stay positive. There is still a slim chance I could be set free before it's too late. And if not, I expect life to continue as if I were there with you. I'll be watching you, and it is my dying wish that Carly and Freddie date.

With all my love,

Samantha Joy Puckett

Barely able to contain her sadness, Sam Puckett put the pen down. She put the letter in an envelope addressed to Carly, and gave it to the guard to mail immediately. Most of the guards were sad as well, for they did not believe that Sam had it in her to kill. Sure, she had been in more than a few fights in prison, but she was only defending herself. The warden herself was a frequent visitor to Sam's cell, and she did not think it added up when you looked at it. All the state had in her opinion was circumstantial evidence against her. Unfortunately, it was not for her to decide. She knew that in ten days time, there was a good chance she would have to read Sam Puckett's death warrant as she lay strapped to a gurney, waiting for the drugs to be pumped into her system that would cause her untimely death.
