As I'm
sure you have read on the forums and other places, I'm requesting help to raise
funds for the Trial Case of Bob Sullivan and Edward Brown. As you may know, they
were found guilty by a jury in a magistrate court in Waco, TX of "Intent
Of" stealing artifacts from a archeological site the prosecutor could not
prove where it's location truly is. A long list of bad defense attorney's and
miss-leading evidence was offer the jury to the point our guys looked guilty,
but in fact were very incident of any wrong doing. Both Bob and Ed are seeking
an appeal of this decision and we are working very hard to help them raise the
funding to hire an attorney instead of a court appointed attorney. Time is short
for appeals and most attorneys want their payment up front. So we have asked the
manufacturers if they wish to support Bob and Ed's appeal and stop the precedent
that this case will set for future cases of "Intent Of" within our
hobby. Thus far each has given generously and we now have 4 detectors and maybe
one or two more on their way in behalf of this worthy fundraiser.
We need
your support, not just Bob and Ed but the hobby itself needs your help. Thus far
the manufacturers have donated a detector in price ranges of $500. to
$1000. for a short fundraiser via the Internet and club newsletters. The drawing
will take place on June the 10th by several of the many
handicap children we annually visit at the Texas Lions Camp of Cripple Children
in Kerrville, Texas. We will be there as we are every year to teach the children
of the camp the fun hobby of metal detecting. Before our visit has ended, we
will ask several of the handicap children to draw the winners of this
fundraiser for Bob and Ed's Defense Fund. We will advertise the
winners the next working day. The cost of these chances in this fundraiser is
$20.00 per chance. You can buy as many chances as you wish and mail you check or
money order to: Bob and Ed's Defense Fund. Please include a
note saying, "For Fundraiser"
