Hi StormCrow,
So sorry to hear about Randy. Have you considered starting a petition online to gain what you need for this innocent man? Is he entitled to probation? Are there no hotshot lawyers who would do pro bono (free) work for him? I am in the UK so other than writing, I can't think of what else I can do.

Check this out: http://www.petitiononline.com/

All the best man!
