Alfred Webre, Vancouver, BC ======= Dr. Andreas van Almsick Rosskopfweg 9 D-61440 Oberursel Germany Tel.: 01149 6171 55473 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Re: Michael Rene Pardue Dear Mr. Webre, With this letter I want to focus your attention on the case of Michael Rene Pardue. Michael is now for more than 27 years behinds bars in Alabama and he is innocent. Even thought his original murder cases were dropped 1997 he is still sentenced for life without parole because of three escapes. Michael's case has found attention of national and international media (see "Media Support" on his website www.michaelpardue.com). But while the US media were interested mainly 1998 (except the local one) mainly the German ones do their work till today. I am very proud that it was a German TV-team which was at first together with Michael's wife Becky when the Alabama Supreme Court opened the theoretical chance to release Michael on March 10th, 2000. However, I don't believe that it is the task of foreigner media to do the job of the US ones. The case of Michael Pardue is one of the worst scandal of justice in America of the last and perhaps of this century. Not because of the fact that an innocent man was so long behind bars, that happen unfortunately all over the world, but because of the fact that an innocent man should die behind bars only because he tried to escape tree times. For America it is an incredible shame. For everybody all over the world it can't be a crime if an innocent man tries to escape and it can't be one for a country that believes to strongly in the freedom of everyone. Frankly the responsible men in Alabama will never agree that Michael is innocent. They will tell you that they dropped his original charges only for technical reasons. They will tell you that they are sure about Michael's guilt but that the Alabama Supreme Court unfortunately doesn't allow them to use Michael's confession longer as evidence. Well, the truth is that this confession was coerced and that there was never a physical evidence for Michael's guilt. More than that, today it is proved that the only physical evidence ever showed on court, a shotgun, can not be responsible for the found wounds of the victims. However, all the new proofs are not of further interest because Michael's original charges are already dropped. No further court will have a look on them except an civil suit. But Michael escaped three times and therefore the law of Alabama allows the continuing unjust against him. They will tell you that Michael self had told everyone in his first prison that he is a murderer. That is true but it is only the half story. Michael did it after nobody wanted to believe him that he is innocent and he did it to survive as 17 year old white boy in one of the worst prison of America. The case of Michael Rene Pardue is an example for that what was and what is wrong with the American system of justice. The responsible men of Alabama have a high interest to hide all their mistakes in this case and a not so interested US media allow them to go on with that. I am very happy about every new article about Michael in Germany and I know that there will be soon a book about him in France but because it is easy for Alabama to ignore the foreign media I have to ask you to do what is necessary to inform the citizen of America about that what happen in their name. I am 38, married and a chemist in a higher position of Aventis CropScience one of the world leader of plant protection. I am very interested in this case because I am not able to accept such an unjust. Please feel free to ask further questions. In the hope to hear soon from you.
