Re: Sentence reduction

There are no set examples or "forms" that will likely do

any good. The letters should show how the person knows

defendant PERSONALLY and why the defendant is a good

candidate for release.

Some letters will doubtless come from those who knew the

defendant before he was incarcerated. Why was the crime

a one-time event or how has the defendant changed since he

has been imprisoned (e.g. successfully completed substance

abuse treatment).
