Let’s all pitch in and become ONE in the fight against Life Without Parole sentencing for marijuana smuggling.
Could you please tell me if Randy has a petition pending before the Pardon Attorney’s office? Also, does he have a lawyer helping him and does he (or someone) have all of his pertinent paperwork – PSR, sentencing transcript, etc.
Thanks so much. We share the belief that no nonviolent offenders should be spending the rest of their lives in prison.
Randy has not yet submitted his Pardon papers, he has them but is struggling with completion. He will be in touch with you Julie regarding other questions.
