Dear Timothy, I enjoyed reading your blogs and do receive your letters and poems. Keep up the good work, always knew you were a smart man behind that tough guy! Stay well and take care
I'm happy to hear you will be getting a new sentence soon. Sounds like you've done your homework and then some.
I've always heard if we learn from our mistakes, then our suffering was not in vain. My son was in the law library a lot and did all his appeals up to and including the Supreme Court, but when it was denied it took the wind out of his sails.
I have been working the past 3 years diligently to get his sentence reduced and did get the prosecutor to agree to a reduction w/3rd party cooperation. However, I've had numerous information/tips give the govt., and so far they either dismiss them, say they are not beneficial to the govt., and now the fbi agent we were working with has stopped returning our phone calls and emails several months ago. I think they just wanted to pacify us but did not intend to rectify their abuse of the "justice" system.. What a joke to call it that as my most recent lawyer told me matter of fact, the almighty dollar is the only justice you can expect when dealing with the legal system. He wanted another $15K after we paid him $5K and he said he would help. Help he did, he opened our eyes to what a greedy little worm he is and I finally fired him and told him I would continue to search for help. In his final email, he stated, Hopefully, Randy will eventually get an appropriate sentence. I wrote him back and thanked him for putting in writing the case in a nutshell. "Appropriate sentence" because the one he now has the time does not fit the crime. Haven't heard from him since. I'm now looking for an out of state lawyer that will agree to help deliver a motion to the court that will rectify this sentence and not just take our $$.
I'm considering typing the motion myself and submitting it to the court. I have several outlines of what is required to submit motions and I have a copy of all my son's legal work, except his discovery which I was never allowed to see and he only got to read a small portion of it. When we asked to see the rest of it, the lawyer said it was turned back into the District Attorney and was sealed. They are hiding a lot of things and we feel we have the right to know what and who they are protecting since my son and I are being punished because of their corruption. There were a lot of lawyers, sheriffs, and federal investigators involved in this case and I know it was bought and sold. My son now feels very frustrated and depressed for trusting the people who were his partners that sold him out.
Anyway, I wish you the best and hope to hear soon you have in writing "Time Served"..
