Hello friends. I just cant understand why non-violent drug offenders are in prison, while rapists and murderers go free. Craziness. I think this man deserves clemency. Please read over the whole petition and sign if you agree. Timothy was a young Grateful Dead fan, who in May of 1992, sold pot and LSD to a friend who turned out to be a police informant. He had never been to prison before, but a judge was forced to give him double life without the possibility of parole because of two prior drug convictions — even though both those convictions resulted in probation. In December, President Obama granted clemency to 8 non-violent drug offenders who were serving mandatory sentences for crack cocaine. And the Department of Justice recently asked for Bar Associations throughout the country to send them more clemency petitions for non-violent drug offenders. It costs $25,000 per year to keep this non-violent man in prison for a mistake he made more than 20 years ago. So far, that is over half a million dollars. Not only is that not justice, but its a waste of money. Please sign the petition. Thank you!
