Just a reminder SUNDAY, MARCH 17th is the quarterly clean up for the mile in Memory of Vicki Lynne.
I can not say thank you enough to our family and friends in Arizona who help us give back to our community in honor of Vicki.
I originally posted the information on this clean-up on February 28th. If you have any questions regarding this upcoming date, please feel free to contact me.
Last week there was a hearing in U.S. District Court on Atwood’s Motion for Reconsideration based on the Martinez vs. Ryan claim. The Martinez vs. Ryan claim has affected many death penalty cases, including ours. The court took the hearing under advisement and is waiting for a ruling by the United States Supreme Court in another case before it will issue a ruling in this case. It may be mid-summer before we know the outcome.
If the judge rules against Atwood, it will go to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and onto the U.S. Supreme Court.
Here is a link to the article from the Arizona Daily Star on the hearing: http://bit.ly/YfW3pB
As we wait for the final months of this story to unfold, all we can do is pray and wait. I look optimistically forward, and feel so incredibly blessed by the amount of support we continue to receive.
I will keep you posted as soon as we have any new information.
