Here is What happened yesterday at Fed courthouse in LA. This a copy of email from charlie Lynch below......


Dear Friend of CCL,



Today in Federal court Judge Wu continued the request for Retrial of Charles C. Lynch until January 5. 2009. The judge wants to hear more arguments before he decides on the retrial request. During the hearing the judge ordered a date in December and then just as everybody was leaving he called everyone back in as it was realized that a December hearing would interfere with the Prosecutors planned vacation to Hawaii. Prosecutor David Kowal looked like he could use a vacation and was angry as usual because he wasn’t getting his way with the court. Lynch looked like he could use a vacation too but said he probably wouldn’t be going on vacation anywhere anytime soon.

Recently Lynch received a report from the Federal Probation department which after carefully reviewing the case and Lynch’s history recommended that Lynch receive 60 months (5 years the mandatory minimum) in Federal Prison followed by a 4 year probation which includes abstaining from alcoholic beverages. It was determined that Lynch has no money and so a fine was not recommended. Sentencing is still set for January 12, 2009 in Los Angeles.

In other News Lynch was contacted by ABC 20/20 John Stossel producers who are interested in airing Lynch’s story along with Melissa Etheridge in early 2009. First indications are that ABC will be working closely with www.Reason.tv to create a report about some of the worst cases the US Government has prosecuted.

Also MSNBC will be traveling to Lynch’s home in Arroyo Grande, CA this week for more video footage for the Al Roker documentary regarding Marijuana in America.

President elect Obama has stated to www.mpp.org that he will end the raids and prosecutions on Medical Marijuana. Here is a link to some info on what he has said http://blog.mpp.org/?p=210


Hope all is well for you and thank you for your support.

Now more than ever is a good time to write those letters of support for Charles C. Lynch to Judge Wu.

…and don't forget to send them thru Charles lawyer's, not directly to the judge.

Write Judge Wu and plead for Charlie's freedom. Supporters who wish to write a letter of support regarding sentencing should use the Letter salutation "Dear Judge Wu"
and then send the letter to:
Reuven Cohen Federal Public Defender at 321 East 2nd Street Los Angeles, CA 90012-4702.
A sample outline can be found on Charlie's website. www.friendsofccl.com

Free Charles Lynch!

Does he want people there for court support on January 5th for the retrial hearing or just on January 12th for sentencing?

Charles' reply:

"I would think that Sentencing would be more important…

Then retrial hearing would be a nice to have people there if it is not too much of an inconvenience…"

There you have it!
