The first report I read pertaining to a possible government conspiracy surrounding the Oklahoma City bombing was by David Hoffman, editor of the Haight Ashbury Free Press. After reading his report I reasoned: If this is all true, then Mr. Hoffman would be killed or jailed. David Hoffman was recently indicted and faces prison for his crime of attempting to inform a grand jury of possible crimes by the government by sending his book on the OKC bombing to a grand jury. The message below is from David, who needs your help in way of letter writing to stay out of prison. Read his book, "The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror," here: http://www.constitution.org/ocbpt/ocbpt.htm =================== From David Hoffman ===================== X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 3 Mar 1999 20:13:52 -0600 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (David Hoffman/Haight Ashbury Free Press) Subject: Friend of the Court To All, In case you haven't heard, I was indicted by the Oklahoma County Grand Jury supposedly "re-investigating" the Oklahoma City bombing (see Washington Times article enclosed). Essentially, District Attorney Bob Macy used the grand jury as a political tool to exact a personal vendetta against me, for calling him a "two-faced liar and a coward" on OK television. The grand jury didn't indict any bombing suspects, they didn't indict any of the numerous officials covering up the crime -- just me ("killing the messenger"). I'm facing up to ** two years in jail ** and the OK County Detention Center is one of the worst in the country! If any of you have a mailing list, would you put this on your list? I need lots of letters. Please snail-mail one letter to DA Macy directly, and please send one to the judge, at my address, in an open envelope. (Hopefully it won't be Judge "Hang 'Em High Hall," the currently sitting judge and Bob Macy's buddy-buddy. Judge Hall just "assigned" the case to himself. However, we are making a motion to change the venue). My trial is scheduled for May 3rd. Thank you all, David Hoffman *************************************************************************** Oklahoma County District Court 320 Robert S. Kerr Oklahoma City, OK 73102 Your Honor, I am writing on behalf of David Hoffman, urging you to defer his sentence. Mr. Hoffman merely felt that he was acting conscientiously in trying to see that justice was served. He felt that the grand jurors, who are ordinary people trying to navigate their way through a complex case, needed a "roadmap" to help them better understand the case. His book, which is meticulously researched and documented, was most suitable to this task. He meant no harm to anyone. Contrary to what Mrs. Lister-Gump stated on the news, it was not Mr. Hoffman's intention to get himself arrested in order to sell books. It is my understanding that Mr. Hoffman currently wishes to investigate the brutal triple murder at the Starbucks Coffee shop in Washington, D.C. in July of '97, and I respectfully ask that this court permit him to attend to this, as his skills are needed. Your Honor, this is a victimless crime, and Mr. Hoffman has suffered enough. He was jailed twice, humiliated in the press, and his bank account was completely drained in attorney's fees and costs. Mr. Hoffman has learned a horrible lesson, and has suffered enough. I respectfully request that you let him go on his way. Mr. Hoffman plans to leave Oklahoma permanently as soon as this matter is concluded. Thank you, *************************************************************************** District Attorney Robert Macy 320 Robert S. Kerr Oklahoma City, OK 73102 Dear Mr. Macy I am writing on behalf of David Hoffman, urging you to drop or lessen the charges against him. Mr. Macy, Mr. Hoffman merely felt that he was acting conscientiously in trying to see that justice was served. He felt that the grand jurors, who are ordinary people trying to navigate their way through a complex case, needed a "roadmap" to help them better understand the case. He did not "threaten" anyone, and certainly meant no harm. Contrary to the press statement of Mrs. Lister-Gump, it was certainly not Mr. Hoffman's intention to get himself arrested in order to sell books. Mr. Hoffman has suffered enough. He was jailed twice, humiliated in the press, and his tiny bank account has been completely drained. He has been devestated! Currently, it is my understanding that Mr. Hoffman wishes to investigate the brutal triple murder at Starbucks Coffee shop in Washington, D.C. I respectfully ask that you allow him to attend to this. Mr. Macy, Mr. Hoffman has learned a terrible lesson. I respectfully request that you let him be. He does not plan to return to Oklahoma at any time. Thank you, ************************************************************************ ** The Washington Times ** January 11, 1999, Monday, Final Edition SECTION: PART A; NATION; Pg. A8 HEADLINE: Conspiracy author named in indictment; Accused of Oklahoma City jury tampering BYLINE: Valerie Richardson; THE WASHINGTON TIMES David Hoffman isn't a white supremacist, he's never mixed a fertilizer bomb and he's not particularly intent on overthrowing the federal government. So when he was the only person to be named in a sealed indictment handed down Dec. 30 by a grand jury investigating the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, it raised a few questions. Why Mr. Hoffman and not, say, Andreas Strassmeir, or John Doe II, or other shadowy figures lurking on the fringes of the crime? It turns out Mr. Hoffman, 38, was indicted on jury tampering. A journalist who wrote a book on conspiracy theories surrounding the case, Mr. Hoffman stands accused of sending copies of his book, along with cover letters, to the grand jurors in an attempt to influence the investigation's outcome. His real crime, however, may be his knack for inflaming Oklahoma authorities and others close to the case with his stinging outbursts. He called Oklahoma County District Attorney Bob Macy a "two-faced coward" on local television, and says the members of the grand jury "have a collective IQ of 50." What has Mr. Hoffman so outraged is the grand jury's conclusion that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were solely responsible for the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which killed 168 persons. Mr. Hoffman contends the jurors squandered what may be the last, best opportunity to address unanswered questions of the case by failing to pursue evidence suggesting a broader conspiracy. "They're accusing me of coercing and manipulating the jury. They're the ones who coerced and manipulated the jury," Mr. Hoffman said in a telephone interview. "If anything, I've done the people of Oklahoma a great service." Now in hiding somewhere in Colorado, Mr. Hoffman has until today to turn himself in to Oklahoma authorities or face a fugitive warrant for his arrest. In the interview, he said he planned to apply for political asylum in Colorado. If that move fails, he said he would turn himself in, provided he can negotiate the terms of his surrender. He faces a maximum sentence of a year in jail on the misdemeanor charge, which he believes he will get because Mr. Macy "is out for blood," he says. The publisher of the Haight Asbury Free Press in San Francisco, Mr. Hoffman moved to Oklahoma three years ago to research his book, "The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror." In it, he contends that the bombing was the result of a federal sting operation gone bad, and that McVeigh was merely a patsy set up to take the fall. Mr. Hoffman contends the jury-tampering charge was motivated by the grand jury's need to produce an indictment after failing to bring any substantive charges in the case, and it's not hard to find Oklahomans who agree with him. "They spent more time trying to discredit anything that conflicted with the FBI's theory than finding the truth," said V.Z. Lawton, a bombing victim who believes the conspiracy goes beyond McVeigh and Nichols. "Then they found some little thing they could pin on some guy and said, 'Look, we handed down an indictment.' " The grand jury was empaneled 18 months ago after a petition drive and over the objections of Mr. Macy and state Attorney General Drew Edmondson. The jurors heard from 117 witnesses, but critics say the jury was steered away from information that suggested a wider conspiracy or federal involvement in the bombing. "I testified for 3 1/2 hours, and the only thing they asked me about was the jury tampering," said Mr. Hoffman. "My book's the most comprehensive study on the bombing out there, and the only thing they can ask me about is jury tampering?" The Oklahoma City Bombing Investigation Committee, which forced the grand jury probe, also denounced the report. Committee founder Charles Key quipped that the only thing the final report lacked was an FBI signature at the bottom. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1998 LEXIS-NEXIS, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
