write rod coronado's judge a letter asking he not be re-tried

Next week the court will hold a status meeting to determine what
the next steps in Rod's indictment will be. PLEASE please please take the time to
send a quick email to Gerald Singleton, Rod's lawyer, which can then be forwarded to U.S. Attorney Karen Hewitt, who will make the decision of what to do with this
case. The decision will be made imminently, so this calls for immediate action!

email address:

Here is a good template for the letter, putting your title on the
letter, and changing the wording will help. Please stress that Rod is not a
threat, and what you know of his redirection toward non-violence.

Dear Ms Karen Hewitt:

I am writing this letter in response to the recent hung jury trial
of Rodney Coronado. I would like to urge you to not waste tax-payer money
with a retrial of this case. According to the jurors, the majority were in favor of
an acquittal in most counts of the indictment. This is evidence that it will be
difficult, if not impossible to change the verdict.

Moreover, Rod Coronado is not a threat to the community, as he has
dis-avowed his belief in arson and violent means to make social change. Publicly,
he has made clear his intentions to work for sustainable development, and
raising a family. He is no longer involved in the movement, and is not someone the
government needs to worry about.


Cordially,
Mary Concerned
