A Letter From Jeannette's Attorney - Sheryl Gordon McCloud Dated 4/27/2012

Asking for your attendance on Friday, June 8, 2012 at 10am in the Senate Hearing Room 3 of the

John A. Cherberg Building, Olympia. Washington.

...We had a wonderful show of support from members of the community who attended the hearing in March.  I cannot say exactly what will happen at the June hearing: it may be a brief review of the risk assessment and a vote, or it could be a lengthier discussion.  I am not preparing another major presentation of Jeannette's case to the Board, but both Jeannette and I will be prepared to answer any questions they may have.

   I cannot guarantee that the number of supporters attending the June hearing will affect the Board's decision, but I do know that having a similar attendance could not possibly hurt, and could only help Jeannette's chances in the long run.  Since attendance records are taken and recorded, that means that Governor Gregoire will also know the consistency and the strength of Jeannette's support when she ultimately makes her final decision.

   For that reason, I am once again asking Jeannette's supporters to attend this hearing...I understand that it can be quite difficult to make those arrangements, and I certainly do not expect everyone who receives this letter to be able to be at the hearing.  But I do hope that this is the last time I will have to ask this of you!

Very truly yours,

Sheryl Gordon McCloud
