Hi Everyone,
I have wonderful news. The US First Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the Commonwealth of Massachusetts appeal for an En Banc hearing. This means that the decision by the 3-judge panel that reversed Michael's conviction on June 11, 2009 remains intact. The only option left for the Commonwealth is for the Attorney Generals office to file a petition for writ of cert to the US Supreme Court, and we believe they will. We expect the Commonwealth will move to stay the order (keeping Michael in prison) while the writ of cert to the US Supreme Court is pending. Michael's lawyer will file a motion for release and try to obtain bail for Michael so he can be released from prison. There is no guarantee this motion for bail will be granted but we are hopeful. I will keep you posted as further events occur.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your prayers and support; they certainly have helped, and Michael remains forever grateful to all of you.
Read court's denial of En Banc hearing!
God bless you,
Dick
