Dear Friends & Family of Veronza,

This may be the real thing!

I am writing at this time to update you on Veronza's case, now in 
front of Atlanta Federal District Court Judge Charles Moye who will 
decide whether to adopt the Report and Recommendation from Magistrate 
Judge Susan Cole. Her Report and Recommendation called for Veronza's 
release from prison, a resounding victory for him in his struggle for 
mandatory parole. We are hoping for a favorable decision from Judge 
Moye - one that could occur at any moment. If the court orders 
Veronza's release, the government has the option to appeal. If there 
is an appeal, it may be possible for Veronza to be released on bail 
while that appeal is pending.

The legal team is working hard preparing  "declarations" to be filed 
with the court if and when the Magistrate Judge's Report and 
Recommendations are adopted. These declarations are intended to 
establish Veronza's eligibility and qualifications for release on 
bail. The legal team believes Judge Moye's decision may require a 
showing that Veronza has adequate financial resources and support 
needed for him to be successful in adapting to life outside of prison walls.

For this reason, we are once again asking for your help - hopefully 
for the last time!

Please consider contributing to a fund we have established to assist 
Veronza during this critical transition. Any contribution no matter 
how small would be greatly appreciated and help to assure the judge 
that Veronza will not be a burden and ultimately be able to stand on 
his own. As in the past, every penny will be used 100% on Veronza's 
behalf and exclusively to assist his reentry to society.

Time is important, so please send your pledge or contribution to "The 
Veronza, Jr Legal Defense Fund" to:

Maynard Garfield, 2500 Barton Creek Blvd., Apt. 1509, Austin, TX 78735

JUSTICE WILL BE DONE WHEN THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN VIOLATED BY THE 
SYSTEM ARE AS OUTRAGED AS THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN VIOLATED BY THE SYSTEM!

Sincerely,
Maynard Garfield
