WHEN does PUNISHMENT become ABUSE, When does ABUSE become REVENGE, When does REVENGE become INHUMANE and HOLOCAUSTIC?

I missed and found my friend 20 years later lingering in legal limbo from an extreme tilt in-justice called ... Federal Mandatory Minimum Sentencing.  I had to say something because, ...

THE FACE OF FEDERAL SENTENCING REFORM:

Sixth Amendment Challenge
Dedicated to the Resurrection and Reaffirmation of the Sixth Amendment in the JURY TRIAL SYSTEM

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES

Source: INPRISON.NET

For years prisoners, like William Underwood, have been denied access to the courts after making Sixth Amendment challenges to the Application of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines over 23 years ago at trial, sentence and on direct appeal. 

Twenty-five years later, the U.S.S.C. now recognizes a need to Repeal, Reform and “Change” the face of federal sentencing. While Mr. Underwood lingers in limbo.

History has a way of correcting its course.

Lessons inform  “Change” . 

History headed, will not need to be repeated.

It's time! ... Booker, Blakely, Apprendi and O'Brien ...
