Reggie Ends Fast
Some of you expressed concern for Reggie’s health and welfare when you found out about his food strike. He ended the fast and is now eating regular meals. His fast was a result of the frustration with prison authorities to actively pursue his legal case. Reggie has once again been placed in administration segregation (“The Hole”) for another unfounded violation.
Reggie turns 39
Reggie’s birthday is August 30 and we are making plans for our community birthday party. We have been doing this since the Justice for Reggie Campaign began. He has celebrated the last 20 birthdays behind bars. We know that one day soon Reggie will be home and we can truly celebrate his special day with him. Stay tuned for details.
NAACP Convention
Last week in Kansas City, Justice for Reggie was represented at the NAACP’s national convention. Steve Hawkins, a long-time supporter is now with the NAACP and moderated a panel on criminal justice. He cited Reggie’s case as one example of the systemic problems with the US justice system. We distributed information about Reggie’s case, collected signatures and met new friends for justice.
Update on Dale Helmig
America’s Most Wanted is airing a full one-hour show on Dale’s case this Saturday night, July 24, at 8:00 p.m. The show will include updated footage from the recent habeas corpus hearing in DeKalb County. This should be very enlightening program.
