[Note: Friends of Justice is a personal blog. I speak only for myself.]
Joseph’s lawyer, Paula Brown, is updating Joseph’s clemency petition. This petition will go first to the Parole Board, and then to Governor John R. Kasich.
Paula is collecting support letters to file with the clemency petition.
Here are some posts to this blog about Joseph’s case:

Many of you have developed a personal relationship with Joseph over the years.
It is not necessary to argue for Joseph’s innocence in these letters. The accompanying petition will make the case for innocence strongly.
What will be most helpful are testimonies about Joseph’s character.
Send your letters to:
Paula Brown
KRAVITZ, BROWN & DORTCH, LLC
65 East State Street, Suite 200
Columbus OH 43215-4277
With your letter enclose a note giving Paula your contact information.
Thank you for your concern about my good friend Joseph.
