     continue to fight for my son. He deserves a fair

     sentencing, i-ie didn't kill anyone. He's not a bad person. Not just because I'm his

     provided the money, the scale, and waittedJntil he coDld find someone who had the

My son has filed his own appeal. It is currently in Austin. 1 understand it requires
a brief.     I have no clue as to how.               I live in California.        I still owe

(my brother)from the first attorney. Will I require another ? Can I just send my
corsc^r*ns or* r*£!C!u€sS't!S - r Q!" uo^s x*£ nsvs to t-6 xn 3 so^cxbX TOrrris*^ ?

 I..a?r, 63, If my son has to do this outrageous amount of time* I'll be dead before he
is released. His daughter has her first baby in twelve days. Can you help me ?

enclosed a copy of the court proceedings, (from start tp finish).
