Some Updates. OK, if it is not the damn prison mailrooms, it is the post office itself. I finally got a letter mailed last Tuesday. Some lovely overworked keypuncher ended up putting zip code 18334 on the barcode. Oops. Dad forgot to put my PO Box on the envelope, so that is part of the problem too. So, now I have the Georgia address of Cousin Bill.

I also have a Wall Street Journal article on the Supreme Court decision. It is not the actual text, but the article does state that there is no retroactivity to the ruling. Bummer.

But there is a slim hope; it states that sentencing should go to a jury in the future and if the case is already in the appeals process, then it might be applicable. Hmm, I really need to see the actual ruling.

My current case, due to go to NY State Appeals Court, might get some weight that this is not judicial prerogative; I am not sure. It is not the best news, but slim hope is there.

Hey, now my appeal and Martha Stewart’s are in the same Federal Court, 2nd District. So, thanks to a mail screw up, my anxiety level was up way too high.

I also got two New York Times, last Thursday and Saturday. I am not sure why I did not get it in the morning with all the other papers, but I will see what the story is. The good news is that it is the local, not the national, edition. Hmm, I still wonder if I will get the Sunday paper too.

Stay tuned for more updates, since I have no letter from you to comment on. I will mail this letter out later tonight. Since I have now used my last five freebies, it is my turn to put the stamps on. So, till after dinner.  ¶ 7:41 AM
