It is not taking more than one signature per IP address. I tried to sign in again for my husband and it didn’t allow it.
I spoke to SMR’s daughter this evening, they were hoping to reach the 5,000 signatures in one day which B”H happened. Mi K’amcha Yisroel. If we can keep going at this pace and keep spreading the word, there is no way that this petition can be ignored. The Huffington post already reported on this and is going to watch the outcome. They will report if there is no follow through as promised.
I was told that he is very “shtark” and was not counting in anyway on the circuit appellate court especially since Linda Reade sat with them that week and even that day on other cases. Something she had not done in years. It was well calculated and it is something that the Supreme Court will NOT ignore.
In addition, I was told that he likened the need for this case to go all the way to the Supreme Court because of the bias and the injustice, to the Miranda case. If that case hadn’t gone all the way to the Supreme court, the Miranda law would not be in place to protect ALL against bias and individual rights. We have all learned recently of the other bias case in Postville against another Frum Jew and how the city negotiated a settlement with him instead of going to court. He agreed because he knew he would be facing the same biased Linda Reade. He therefore settled on the $400,000 offered. The City officials involved however were not fired, they were sent for “sensitivity” training. We all know what that means and boils down to. Nothing.
So that information I am quite sure will also be presented to the Supreme Court along with Judge Linda Reade’s corroboration with the prosecution, her decision to sit with the other circuit court judges the week of the appeal and the negligence of the prosecutors to give the information necessary to the defense to allow them the opportunity to ask the Judge to recuse herself. This of course in addition to the excessive sentence and the Department of Justice’s total inconsideration to even acknowledge the 45 congressmen and women and all the judicial advocates who wrote letters requesting that Eric Holder Investigate this injustice.
Please let us all keep davening and keep all our efforts going full throttle to help SMR and to make sure that this can never happen again.
