Update - August 11, 2008

(Excerpt from a letter of August 11, 2008)

I was able to locate a witness who could really help a lot, and she agreed to do so. But just as my father and investigator were about to go over to her home to video-tape her statement, she just suddenly changed her mind. It was almost as if she was afraid. I have written to her in the hope of trying to understand why. It was naturally very disappointing.

I am still trying to contact a couple of other people now.

The investigator has been really enthusiastic about making an effort. He has also spoken to a couple of attorneys but no one is really to do a pro bono work. ...

My father and I have always wondered why no attorney - and we have contacted a great many of them - have been willing to help.

I am, we are, continuing to be hopeful.

...

All the best,

Michael.

I spoke to Dan Lagano, a friend of Michaels. He is trying to gather money to hire an attorney in Orange County to work this case. The attorney said that it would take 4-6 months to completion and there are no guarantees. Here is the kicker. The case would cost $20,000.

If anyone wants to assist Dan and Michael's father by donating money to meet the $20k retainer, please contact me and I will put you in contact with either Dan or Michael's father.

I am in the process of publishing a magazine for free, www.criminaldefensemagazine.com. My goal is to take a portion of the proceeds from this magazine that is paid for by advertisers and donate it to Michaels defense fund. I am aiming for close to 100,000 subscribers but at the moment I have only 300+.

If anyone is interested in advertising or contributing articles to the magazine, please contact me at editor@criminaldefensemagazine.com.

Thanks,
