There will be a support rally in front of the Mendocino County Courthouse in Ukiah at noon. Supporters are urged to attend the rally and hearing. A representative of the California Attorney General's office confirmed that he will travel to Ukiah from San Francisco for the hearing. This is bad news for Lincoln because it very likely indicates that instead of the charges being dismissed, the A.G. will take over the case from new Mendocino D.A. Norm Vroman. The A.G. takeover was instigated by defeated ex-D.A. Susan Massini immediately after she lost the November election. It was her last ditch effort to obstruct justice by trying to scapegoat Bear Lincoln for the death of deputy sheriff Bob Davis. Please read the following letter to new California A.G. Bill Lockyer from Lincoln juror Jane Dymond urging Lockyer not to retry Lincoln. She has given permission to share her letter with others, and urges people to join her in writing Lockyer. =46or a full background on the Bear Lincoln case, please go to http://www.monitor.net/monitor/rv/rv-background.html Then watch the Albion Monitor for the latest developments at http://www.monitor.net/monitor =46or more information call the Mendocino Environmental Center in Ukiah at 707-468-1660 ************************************************************** Jane Dymond (address deleted here) Fort Bragg, CA January 12, 1999 Bill Lockyer, Attorney General 1300 I Street Sacramento, CA 95814 (Faxed to 916-324-5205) RE: Eugene "Bear" Lincoln trial Dear Mr. Lockyer, I understand that former Mendocino County District Attorney Susan Massini has passed the Eugene "Bear" Lincoln file on to your office for possible prosecution. She is clearly using your office in a last desperate attempt to obstruct justice. Ms. Massini's stated reason for her action is that her successful opponent (Norman Vroman) in the November election for District Attorney, made "unqualified campaign promises" to not retry Mr. Lincoln. I believe that Ms. Massini's allegation is false; what I personally heard Mr. Vroman say during campaign appearances was that he would review the case file and decide whether to go ahead with a retrial. His "promise" was that he would not automatically go ahead with a manslaughter trial, but would instead review the file and see if there is any new evidence that would call for a new trial. As one of the jurors in this case, I am writing to request that you do not waste further time or money prosecuting Mr. Lincoln. Ms. Massini's request to you is motivated by county politics, not by the facts of the case. In fact, it would be contrary to the interest of justice to retry Mr. Lincoln. The jury unanimously acquitted Mr. Lincoln of all murder and attempted murder charges, and voted 10-2 to acquit Mr. Lincoln of the manslaughter charges. The two jurors who voted in favor of the manslaughter charges did so based not on evidence but instead on the belief that a sheriff's deputy died and someone needed to be held accountable. In addition to the lack of evidence, the prime prosecution witness changed his story several times and was caught in falsehoods on the witness stand; his final version of the events of the evening contradicts the physical evidence that exists in the case. Another law enforcement prosecution witness was also caught lying during his testimony. Other testimony describing the collection of evidence at the scene showed that process to be slipshod, careless, and woefully lacking in thoroughness and professionalism. Our jury proved that our justice system works =97 a defendant is indeed innocent until proven guilty. Ms. Massini's request to you is purely political; continued prosecution will be a further waste of time and money in this matter. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
