I know that Don is still in the appeal process, but has anyone thought of beginning the process of a Presidential pardon? The case should never have gone to a jury, but I have seen many cases that should never ended in court, end with convictions. Dana, you and your family are daily in our prayers.

Dana, do you know whether the Obama WH is doing anything about your father’s case?

Hey! Thank you for posting this! Dad is appealing his case for a second time. He is out of prison pending the first appeal, and may have to go back at any moment. I do not know the docket number, but I have asked him for it, so I will post it here when I get it. Thank you again for reminding people about this!

Middle, it’s hard to evaluate this post without knowing the procedural posture of the case. What’s his trial date? Whither bail? fyi, the dockets of all Federal courts are online, and most court filings can be viewed and copied. If you have his case info (docket #, etc.) write to me and I’ll make copies.
