OFF THE WIRE
SENT MY LETTER YESTERDAY TO JANET. You may want to re-circulate this, Gill.
To the good folks that received this email >>> I personally have worn these shoes. Only in my case, being the opposite: Letters of good character & good standing within the community for my husband, Hells Angel President Rusty Coones. During 2001, I gathered 154 letters from friends & family (VERY DAUNTING TASK) to aid in leniency during sentencing.
I promise you, these letters work, and the Judge MUST READ EVERY WORD of EVERY LETTER. In our case, the Judge was overwhelmed & touched by all the good deeds, funny stories and generosity shown by Rusty to MANY FOLKS. The Judge’s touching comments from ‘the bench’ were “never in 30 years have I seen such support for 1 person – EVER. Only once before I received 70+ letters.”
Please take 10 minutes to write something sincere, following the guidelines below. IT’S NOT PERFECTION, in fact, some of our handwritten letters were the most intriguing, even the mis-spelled words captivated the Judge because those letters spoke the most truth from the heart. BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS & SIGN YOUR NAME.
Talk about your feelings, how angry & upset you. Telling a short story about your relationship to Janet is even better. Be real & truthful when asking for the Judge’s full & proper sentencing of this repeat offender. THIS WORKS, I know it!
Sincerely, K.O. Coones (Mrs. Rusty) kbunnyo@cox.net
Tom & Tina I need help on this gill
More than a year ago our sister Janet Hogan was on her bike, struck in the rear by a car whose driver then fled the scene. Janet suffered multiple and severe injuries. The Culprit Douglas Clay was driving drunk, fled the scene, was arrested for DUI, , gave police a false address, and disappeared again.
He has been convicted twice before for DUI. He was arrested in LA and returned to San Diego.
Clay has now pled Guilty to Felony DUI with Injuries, Fleeing the scene, driving on a suspended license, and 3rd DUI with circumstances. He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 25th 2010.
His lawyer is already trying to get the charges reduced. Janet needs as many people as possible to write a letter to the judge urging the judge to impose the most severe penalty possible on the Defendant. I have placed a sample letter at the bottom of this message. Please mail your letter to Janet Hogan at 3950 60th Street, apartment 143, San Diego CA 92115. She will bundle all of the letters together and send them to the court. For all of you whose schedule permits, we would like a section of motorcyclists in that courtroom on May 25th to show our support of Janet Hogan.

To the Presiding Judge Your name and address
Department 31
Your Honor,
Douglas Clay plead Guilty to driving drunk, crashing into Janet Hogan causing severe injury which she will probably never fully recover from, and fleeing the scene. He has been convicted twice before for DUI, and shows no indication of changing his lifestyle. I am asking you to impose the most severe sentence possible to this man to punish him for what he did to motorcyclist Janet Hogan. Please keep this repeat offender who shows no regard for other people, and who disregards his responsibilities off the streets so that he does not kill someone in his next crash.
Thank you,
