Justice Denied - The Kirstin Lobato Story

[silverweb]

I'm sure many of you are already familiar with Kirstin Lobato's case, but for those of you who are not, you'll find this fascinating reading:

Kirstin has won the right to a new trial, but even if she finds an attorney willing to handle her case pro bono, she is facing a minimum of $30,000 in court-related expenses. Her friends and supporters have set up a legal defense fund and are asking for donations. I know times are tough for most of us right now, but even if we each send a small amount to help, Kirstin's fund should soon reach its goal. The horror of being railroaded for a crime one did not commit has to be among the most terrifying and humiliating experiences of a lifetime. It would be a wonderful thing to see Kirstin get her new trial and finally see justice in her case.

I know that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people in prison for crimes they did not commit and we cannot hope to help them all, but I hope enough people will be motivated to enable at least this one young woman win her life back.

A good friend of mine is very personally involved in this case and has provided the following information for the fund:

If you are interested in making a donation to aid Kirstin in her fight for justice, please either use PayPal or send a cashier's check or money order to the address below:

Kirstin Lobato Legal Defense Fund
PO Box 36442
Las Vegas, NV 89133

To get to the PayPal link, go to the main page of justice4kirstin.com, click the link marked "Justice Campaign," and when that page comes up, click the "Donate to Fund" choice in the upper left-hand corner. A PayPal page comes up that is specific for the defense fund.

1. Kick!

Very strange story.

2. Isn't it, though?

It boggles the mind to see how arbitrarily facts and evidence can be ignored.

3. Hmmm... no action here.

I think I'm going to repost this in General Discussion, where it should get more attention. :)
