No paper trail, no drugs or money in his possession=no fucking evidence. a life sentence based on hearsay alone?

Its not hearsay, its eyewitness testimony.

Yeah but I thought I heard something about an eyewitness not being enough evidence alone for a conviction.

anybody can say somebody sold LSD although eleven people is a lot more than one,

Might be best to just let this issue go to rest, i imagine all the attention is doing this guy more harm than good.  He thinks he is going to get out, but he's not.  Then with a bunch of people jumping in and fanning his delusion, prolly isn't the best thing to be doing.  Its putting his expectations and emotions all the way at the high end of the scale, so the harder he is going to fall.

Altho the gifts and stuff will still be great of course

i wasn't talking about the guy in jail reaching out to his family and friends, I'm talking about people encouraging and feeding his delusions.

the point is that there's pretty much zero chance of him getting out from the sound of it, as has been mentioned 1 witness is enough, he had 11...a few of which were cops.

So my point is that feeding his delusions any further will only hurt him in the end.  If you put yourself in his shoes, and you get yourself so hyped up over this, knowing your going to be free etc etc, and then reality hits he may flip out and try to hurt himself or something along those lines.

Or another thing that could happen, is that the spotlight gets put on him like everyone wants apparently, and then poof...something falls out of the woodwork that makes him look horrible, which in the end does alot of harm again.

I've posted Rudd's case/info on some other sites that would take an interest. The more people know about this, the better.

That's really awesome thanks so much! He knows he is in a terrible situation. Any love or light (letters) anyone sends his way is more valuable than I can say...He could really use a smile here or there...

Dude, the guy is in jail for life. There isn't much worse than that. I'd be more prone to 'flip out' or commit suicide if I had zero hope that anything would ever change.

In any case, the 'do nothing' solution is not only hurting Walker, it's hurting America. We all know from 20th century history that when The People shut the fuck up about injustice, you get shit like Nazism. This case is relevant for every American. A court shouldn't be able to just throw a guy in jail for life on slim (if any) evidence of a crime that may or may not have been committed and which is far less harmful to society than murder or rape or even the LEGAL crimes against humanity that corporations get away with daily. The only way we're going to change any of that shit is to speak the hell up.

Unless you LIKE living in a thinly veiled police state run by the rich for the rich.

thank you.  i truly couldn't have said it myself.



i don't have any delusions that by getting rudd's story our there that i am going to get him out of his life sentence.  that would be the icing on the cake so to speak, but i feel it's crucially important for my fellow Americans to know that this shit went down.

i kinda think it's this exact apathetic attitude that has led our society to where we are at this very moment.  in a country where it's considered "due process" that a man can be imprisoned for LIFE, on testimony alone.  a country where the "war on drugs" is an all out goddmaned free for all where the ones in power are allowed to do whatever they please, so as to make an example of someone, to put the fear of god in us.   

like "oh well", there's nothing i can do to change the situation so i guess i'll just continue sitting on my ass watching american idol, eating these doritos and drinking ma coca cola. 

fuck that.

my mother is a prime example.  people are soooo fucking scared of lsd, and it makes me cringe.  if there's something i can do to change it, then im gonna do it.  i talked to her about my plans for making the documentary, and she asked if i would make a documentary about a wrongly imprisoned murderer instead, because "I don't want people thinking you do lsd" 

i don't know rudd personally and i am certainly not going to proceed with what i have planned without his consent, but i get the impression that he's the type of fellow that would want his story heard regardless of the outcome.
