Prisoner of conscience Eva (Lee) Mickey was given three months in jail even though all others pleading guilty as she did received probation. Her 80 year old sister is terminally ill and she should be given probation or no sentence at all. Please write a letter to the judge and fedex it if possible or send by regular mail. But please write.
PROMPT ACTION NEEDED: WRITE A LETTER TO JUDGE FAIRCLOTH ASKING HIM TO GIVE EVA (LEE) MICKEY PROBATION
For anyone wanting to write to judge Faircloth on behalf of Eva Mikey (case # 814), who was sentenced to three months even though others pleading the same way were given probation, here are the details and necessities: Eva is 67 years old. This was her first arrest. She promised to honor her ban and bar letter, and pled guilty. She wanted to care for her 80 year old sister with cancer. Unlike others in her kind of situation and with her plea and contrition, she was given 3 months in prison. We want the judge to exercise mercy/compassion. His address: Judge G. Mallon Faircloth PO Box 117, Columbus, GA 31902 There may be a limit as to when he could change her sentence.
We need to get a lot of letters to him. Polemicism or accusations to the judge will tend to backfire, while respect for legal process and affirming Eva's own contrition will work most in her favor (in my best assessment of the judge's style).
Peace
