Re: A Plea for A Commutation of Sentence on behalf of Matthew Hale #15177-424,
U.S.P. – Max, P.O. Box 8500, Florence. CO 81226-8500
Dear Sir:
I have been informed that the above matter will not even be considered for another one or two years! This is unacceptable given the circumstances involved. Matthew Hale has been incarcerated not for any proven violation of the law, but by virtue of a combination of lies and illegal actions. Furthermore, your office has suffered from deliberate misinformation in this matter. Matthew’s group, Creativity, has been presented to your office—falsely—as representing a gang! Creativity is a belief system; it is religious in nature, so unless you are willing to consider the Roman Catholic Church or Orthodox Jewry as “gangs,” Creativity should be viewed in that light and not as an illegal and dangerous organization.
Under the circumstances previously presented to you—including the transcript of Mr. Hale’s “trial” [link: freematthale.net] fully revealing this terrible miscarriage of justice—I would beg you to move quickly in this matter so that justice may finally be done to an innocent man. There is an old but true axiom, justice delayed is justice denied! Surely every effort should be made to bring this matter to a proper and just solution. No one can give back to Matthew Hale the years he has suffered in durance vile, but his suffering should surely not be sustained because of bureaucratic red tape.
Myself and many others are praying that you in your capacity as Executive Officer of the Office of the Pardon Attorney will bring this matter to the attention of President Trump so that Matthew Hale will be made a free man once again.
Sincerely,
