My last posting indicated that Manual was going for a Parole hearing in August 2006. Praise be to God Manual was granted a parole by the Parole Board. We are shouting glory to God for his favor. We all expected to see Manual Jr. by Christmas, certainly by the beginning of 2007. For your information, each parole that is granted by the Board is subject to approval, denial or modification by the Governor. I am sad to say that the Governor reversed his parole and he is still in prison.

We need to pray for our next move and for the Governor and for our local Assistant District Attorney Richard Sachs. These men refuse to accept the unanimous decision of the Parole Board to grant parole based on their "feelings" rather than relying on the facts as presented by the Psychologist. They cite the violence of the offense. The violence of the offense will never change. It was violent 18 years ago and it is violent today. What they fail to realize is that Manual has changed. He is not the same 17 year-old today. If they persist in using that offense to deny him parole he will never be released. And, if that is the case then the Courts should not use the language "possiblity of parole".

To continue to keep Manual Cass in prison is cruel and unusal punishment. I will keep you posted on the progress in this episode of Manual C. Cass, Jr.

Thank you for your support.

I AM ASKING ALL OF YOU THAT WILL TO PRAY FOR HIS PAROLE BOARD HEARING. PRAY FOR THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WHO HAS A SAY IN HIS RELEASE.

PUT MANUAL C. CASS, JR. ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL AND CHURCH PRAYER LISTS. PRAY SPECIFICALLY FOR GOD'S MERCY TO FLOW THROUGH THE PAROLE BOARD MEMBERS TO MANUAL AND THAT HE WILL BE RELEASED INTO OUR MIDST IN AUGUST 2006. MANUAL HAS HAD STRONG FAMILY SUPPORT DURING THE COURSE OF HIS INCARCERATION AND HAS GREAT PLANS FOR A LIFE AFTER PRISON.

YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO WRITE LETTERS TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE ADDRESSED TO MR. RICHARD SACHS, DEPTUY DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND ASK HIM TO STRONGLY CONSIDER ACCEPTING MANUAL BACK INTO OUR COUNTY ON PAROLE.

PRAY FOR HIS STRENGTH IN THE LORD AS YOU PRAY FOR HIM. I WILL PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

As stated during that meeting, our intent is to host several of these type events throughout the year in the hope that we can educate the community at large and thereby enhance their interaction with the justice system as it is currently structured.

Please let me know your availability for future events as I would like to start planning early to broaden our target market and inspire greater participation from the community.

Again, thank you and God’s continued blessings upon you.

Sincerely,



Harold Tolson

DO YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES OF BEING IN THE COMPANY OF A KNOWN FELON?

DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU CAN'T GET PICKED ON A JURY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY?

If you answered NO to any of these questions you need to attend the TOWNHALL MEETING at BAYVIEW BAPTIST CHURCH, 6126 BENSON AVENUE, SAN DIEGO ON MARCH 21, 2006 AT 7 - 9 PM.]]> http://friendsofadvocates.org/pblog/index.php?entry=entry060127-190932
We need to come together in support of Manual C. Cass Jrs. parole. As you may or may not know his parole application was denied in October and he appealed to the Governor. It was expected that the Governor would have responded to his appeal by now but we have heard nothing. I want to begin another campaign on Manual's behalf. Please watch this webpage for our next called meeting.

Also, we need to plan for an educational forum on our church site to address our community and the criminal justice system... You will want to learn what your rights are and how to exercise them when confronted by law enforcement in the field. You will want to know how to respond during interrogation, either in the field or in an interview room. You will also want to gain some insight on being picked for a jury trial. Many times we are sentenced unjustly because "our experience" is lacking in the deliberation room.

Call me for further information at 619-469-0299.
