Dear friends,

We just wanted to make sure that everyone was up to date on Eric’s upcoming hearing on the new trial motion and sentencing. As of right now, both of these are scheduled to take place on Thursday, February 28th beginning at 10 am. Please keep in mind that these dates are subject to change. We’ll do our best to keep everyone informed as information becomes available to us. Eric would love to see friendly faces in the courtroom on the 28th. Please consider coming to show your support on this difficult day in court. The government is still pushing for a 20 year sentence, which would be not only devastating for Eric and his loved ones, but would also be a true miscarriage of justice (even from a legal perspective).

Also – please remember to send your letters concerning Eric’s sentencing for Judge England to MARK REICHEL, Eric’s attorney. This will be your last chance to speak up for Eric before he is sentenced. Don’t let it pass you by! For more information on what kinds of things to include in your letter, please visit: http://www.supporteric.org/updates.htm and scroll down to the update from 1/8/08.

Thank you all for your continued support!
