Support Harold Taylor - write letters before sentencing

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Harold Taylor was recently convicted of a drug charge in his home town of Panama City, Florida.
Harold’s case has coincidentally received unusual attention by the Florida court which fast-tracked his conviction after many months of inactivity. The jury deliberated less than 15 minutes in the one-day Panama City trial. This prosecution is a result of a new judge and prosecutor taking over, not upon any substantial or new evidence. Two prosecutors actually worked to present this case over a $20 attempt-to-purchase.

Harold Taylor is scheduled to be sentenced in Panama City December 9th.
 
What you can do to support Harold
 
Please write letters addressed to the judge, asking for leniency in sentencing and for probation.
 
Address your letters to Judge Richard Albritton, Bay County Superior Court, Panama City, Florida. Please DO NOT send your letters directly to the judge.
 
Mail your letters to Harold’s attorney:
John Beroset
1622 N 9th Avenue
Pensacola, FL 32503
 
If you have letterhead, please use it if you can.
 
Please personalize your letters and mention how you know Harold Taylor.
 
Helpful Talking Points (you need not include all of them as we want letters to be unique – not form letters)

• Harold is devoted to his family
• He is a torture survivor
• He has no history of drug involvement
• Harold has had no contact with the legal system for a lengthy period of time
• He has mentored young people for years, inspiring countless numbers to reject gang and gun violence and instead aspire to become valuable contributors to their communities

John Beroset needs to receive your letters by November 25th.
