Re: Need your help!! - - - - - UPDATE

[Guest guest]

To all,

I just wanted to let you know that Mr. Cotton's parol was DENIED on

07/02/08 and his next parole review will be in one year. It seems as

if we made an impact on the review panel by all the letters that were

sent in from EMS professionals from all over the country.

A big thank you goes out to all that took time to write a letter not

only on my behalf, but on the behalf of all emergency services

personnel in Texas.

In regards to the bill that has been drafted to allow the enhancement

of Ag Assault on emergency services personnel, I will keep you

abreast of the status as well.

Be safe,

Donnie Stone

Hey folks,

Many of you may remember when I was hurt last year while working on

an ambulance in County. The guy that assaulted me,

Lawson Cotton, received 7 years in TDC, but is eligible for parole in

less than 6 months (for a grand total of 18 months in jail).

He threw a hydraulic car jack into the path of our ambulance when we

were driving about 45mph. It went through the windshield and struck

my head. He confessed to the crime and was charged with Ag Assault -

Deadly Weapon. The plea included dropping the " Deadly Weapon " aspect

of the charge, and he was convicted of Ag Assault. While dropping

the " Deadly Weapon " aspect, he has to only spend 25% of his sentence

time instead of 50% with " Deadly Weapon " included in the conviction.

This deal was requested by the DAs office so that we could guarentee

the 7 year sentence on an 18 year old without any significant

criminal history. Difficult to accept at first, but I am ok with it

now. This is the biggest reason why we need to send protest

letters. I know that you guys can help.

Here is where I need your help...I need as many protest letters as

possible sent by as many people as possible to show that we will not

allow offenders to simply " get away " with injurying folks while on

duty. He needs to stay put for a while as he was just transferred

from County to TDC less than a week ago.

RE: Parole Protest Letter for Lawson Cotton, TDCJ # 01491115,

Aggravated Assault in County (Case # CR07-0124)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The more letters, the

better. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks

for your help!!!

Looks like we can do things if we get together on something. Imagine if all EMS

people got together more often...

" A prudent man foresees the difficulties ahead and prepares for them; the

simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. "
