WINTER 2007
Dear Friends and Supporters:
Thank you, as always, for your continued support during these long months as we await word from the District Court.
In recent months, Mr. Jimmy Britt, whose affidavit compelled the Circuit Court to remand Jeff's case for review, took a turn for the worse in terms of his health. Mr. Britt, whose courage and spirit and will to live cannot be denied, is doing his utmost to survive with chronic heart disease.
Recently, our lawyers sent a letter to Judge Fox requesting a status conference (a meeting between the judge, defense counsel, and the government prosecutor(s)) in the event that the judge would like to discuss where he stands in his decision making process and his timeline for doing so.
The government has filed a motion with the Court (SEE DOCUMENTS) asking the judge to deny the desired status conference.
As we approach the holiday season, we once again thank those who continue to support us, and hope for a favorable decision from the judge as we have for many months. However, we are confident that Judge Fox is thoroughly reviewing 27 years of case material, and respect the amount of time such a complete evaluation of the case requires.
Meantime, we wish you all a happy holiday season. We wish you peace and hope in your own lives as we prepare to enter 2008.
Sincerely,
Jeff and Kathryn MacDonald
