Dear List: Here is a copy of a email I received today. I am sure some others received the same.
********************************************** My name is John E. Fernandez. I am an attorney in Tampa, Florida representing a person who has pled guilty to stealing approximately 113 grams of lunar materials and martin meteorites from the Johnson Space Center last year. At his sentencing the main issue will be the fair market value of these materials. I am looking for someone who can testify as an expert regarding what price these materials would have on the open market. The sentencing will be this March or April in the US district court in Orlando, Florida. If you or someone you know might be interested in evaluating the materials and offering an opinion, please contact me. Expenses and expert witness fees are negotiable. John E. Fernandez Florida Bar #606839 7520 Oakvista Circle Tampa, Florida 33634 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************** I spoke with Mr. Fernandez and he is looking for an expert that can give a fair market value on the stolen material. From his conversation, I understood there was also some ALH84001 martian meteorite fragments involved. He would like for someone to look at the material that was taken and give their opinion. I would not be comfortable in placing a value on lunar rocks from the Apollo missions or ALH84001. There are better experts on this list that might could help in this matter. He would like list members to discuss what they feel would be a market value on 113 grams of lunar rocks and a gram price for a fragment of ALH84001. If anyone on the list feels they would like to offer their services, I will provide a direct telephone number to Mr. Fernandez.
