It's mid-July and we have nothing new to report on the legal front. That's how it goes for Brandon and for us. We wait and hope.
Brandon continues to focus on artwork, visits, reading, correspondence and exercise. Right now he's reading a book called "Awakening the Mind" (A guide to mastering the power of your brain waves) by Anna Wise. He's hoping to improve his abilities to meditate and focus.
Oh and Hey! There is a new direct email for Brandon's supporters who prefer not to post to this blog: you can write to freebh@brandonhein.com
To answer a few more questions:
Q. Is anything about this taught in college criminology courses?
A. In some cases, yes. A criminology textbook written by Robert J. Meadows, a professor at California Lutheran University, called "Victims and Victimization" details Brandon's case and the sentences that were given in a section called Criminal Justice Injustice. The book can be ordered at www.amazon.com. We have spoken to college criminology classes locally and many students have chosen to present this case to fulfill class assignments.
Q. Have you ever done a billboard?
A. A wonderful supporter with connections in outdoor advertising secured a billboard ad on our behalf. To see what it looks like, you can scroll down the page on this site called "How to Help."
Q. Would it help if Brandon's supporters coordinated their efforts and all did something on the same day like calling the governor's office?
A. It can't hurt. Brandon does have many supporters contacting him, some steadily and some off and on. We would welcome anyone who wants to spearhead this sort of effort to contact us at the email above. Brandon's family has tried many, many approaches over the years and find that we have to conserve our energy and efforts for Brandon's day to day needs but volunteers and supporters are always welcome. Maybe we could do something like featuring the idea somewhere on this website. From the emails we receive we know that those who care about him often check back for updates.
Q. Does Brandon have a good attorney?
A. Yes. He has an excellent attorney named William Genego.
Q. What would it take to get Brandon pardoned by the President?
A. We don't know how that works. Do any of you?
Thanks for your support and thank you always for your kindness.
