Matthew Gruening I can't reply directly to your comment, so:

On May 18, Munoz wrote a letter to Juneau Judge Phillip Pallenberg on behalf of Thomas Jack Jr., 
“Tom’s conviction has had a profound impact on me. [Cue up Air Supply album] There have been times when I laid awake at night unable to sleep concerned over the length of his sentence and the cold reality that he may never see freedom again"

Oh my <-George Takei.

Given its audience, explain how this letter doesn't ooze with leniency, or, as she puts it, a "sentencing review" favorable to her Tom.  Is she in love with this guy?  Did she finish a box o' wine and run the shower cold? This letter has got to be Tom's first jailhouse tramp stamp.  Snivel chorus lines from 'All out of Love' and help the internets understand what you meant by "politicized" and "not entirely accurate"...act like you don't know politics, that way you don't politicize your own enthusiastic support of such sappiness.

Key the mic for intellectual honesty!
