NINETY YEARS FOR POT!
Richard has now been locked up for almost a quarter of a century.
It is reprehensible that in this day in America a man can and is being killed by the State of Florida for a non violent marijuanna charge.
Richard DeLisi is not just any man either he is a good man who helped and loved all around him.
Richard DeLisi was proud to be an American.
... Please do not let Richard die in prison in America, the land of the free.
Where are the brave people who will help undo this injustice?

 This is an inhumane sentence, considering that the STATE handed the Court, after trial, a recommended term of 15 Years, to be served in a State Prison. This was determined at what is called a Pre-sentencing investigation, conducted for the purpose of establishing what the State feels to be a just punishment for a crime.
During his incarceration, for a non-violent, marijuana offense,Richard has been witness to heroin traffickers,cocaine traffickers,murderers & predators all serve their time and be released. At 62 years of age and in poor health, having an impeccable prison record, Richard is still in prison, costing the taxpayers money, wasting his life, for a victimless crime.
During this lengthy prison term, Richard has logged thousands of hours in both Spiritual and Secular betterment classes, completing each with high accommodations. He continues to struggle with dyslexia, a major factor in his transgressions of the past. With determination, once given a diagnosis, he has taught himself to read and to write, things we take for granted..things he could not do until he was well into his forties.
Hon. Judge Dennis P. Maloney did what is called an upward departure when he sentenced him to the maximum 30 years for each offense, with all three to run consecutively, resulting in 90 years which is a "de facto" life sentence.
Knowing that this case was a reverse sting operation which was initiated and orchestrated by the state of Florida and no drugs were ever out of police custody to impose such a harsh sentence needs to be reviewed!
In 2004, the Judge, Hon. Dennis P. Maloney was sanctioned in opened Court for demanding the immediate release of his friend, who was arrested for DUI.which is a direct violation of the Law he was sworn to uphold. [Inquiry Concerning a Judge, No. 03-78, Re: Dennis Maloney, 916 So ...

We are asking for a minimum of ONE THOUSAND signatures, to present to the Florida Board of Executive Clemency. Without Clemency, Richard DeLisi will most likely die in prison.
The variance between the State's recommendation, and the sentence imposed by a Judge, proven to have questionable ability to remain impartial, calls for a cry for Justice.
