Im going to be signing a petition to help my best friends Son and Step Son Roesmary and Bobby DiPietro, once I learn how to do this petition I would like my friends and Family to fill one out on Marks behalf, Ive known Mark over 30 years and he is a very respectful young man who made a mistake and his Lawyer did him wrong in protecting another client, Mark has already served more years (over 14) in prison more years than Murderers get so please read this and once I know how to do this petition I would appreciate my friends to help Mark. Thank You-------PLEASE SUPPORT CLEMENCY/COMMUTATION FOR MARK LANZILOTTI. Mark Lanzilotti is currently an inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution at Loretto, Pa. He has served 14 years of a 30-year sentence as a non-violent first-time offender for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine. He was one of 10 co-defendants in the case, all of whom received sentences averaging 5 1/2 years. Some got no time at all. What makes this so compelling is that Marks attorney did not inform him that the government had made a 10-year non-cooperation plea offer, which the attorney declined on Marks behalf without his knowledge. The attorney insisted on going to trial, telling Mark that it was all or nothing. Mark only learned about the governments offer after he had been found guilty at trial, about a month after his sentencing hearing. As a result, Mark was initially sentenced to three life sentences without the eligibility for parole. His sentence was later reduced to the current 30 years imprisonment (two decades longer than the original plea offer). This was despite the fact that mark was the only defendant in the case to have voluntarily left the conspiracy years earlier. Mark accepts responsibility for his crime, he always has.Yet, Mark is the only defendant still in prison. We, friends and family members of Mark Lanzilotti, are banding together to ask President Obama to commute the remainder of Marks sentence (as per the Clemency Project 2014). We are not asking for special favors, we are simply asking for fairness and justice.
