[Now is the time to write. The letters must reach the lawyers’ office within 10 days.]

I assure you, the courts have received credible letters disputing SMR's 'honorable' reputation. In drafting a 'letter of support' for another individual, pending his particular sentencing, I indicated my position with regard to SMR & the issues surrounding his oblivious disregard for his part in the crimes that transpired within the walls of the former Agri-processors facility, under his leadership.

AGAIN, I urge SMR to write his own letter (on his own behalf)-acknowledging his guilt, to own his 'mistake'; hence, 'throw himself on the mercy of the court'.

Why in the world would he do that now?

It would preclude any appeal, and he'll have to serve 18 to 27 years in prison.

He might as well try the appeals and hope there's a way to get a new trial.

Any admission of guilt should have happened pre-trial.

It's about time. Getting tired of seeing his face and hearing about his endless requests for bail.

. . . because eternity is a long, long time. (Just ask G_d)

Those millions he "got" from agri will go along way in the good ole USA...

Anyone who sends a letter attesting to SMR's good person and character should be investigated for receiving stolen property.

SMR's cellmates can attest to his character and self-control!

No, joke, HP. His disciplinary offense while in county jail, will not help him.

one bullet to his head would save millions.

What would a bullet to your head save?
