[Ralph] If you ask him today, he'll tell you he doesn't remember that letter and he didn't remember signing it. If you look at the letter, the name right underneath Michael Duggan is that of his chief assistant, Samuel Gardner. Rick's two defense attorneys at the time he was convicted was Samuel Gardner and Ed Bell, who were law partners. [Wershe] He wanted to keep me in prison as long as he could. I mean here's a guy that was my lawyer- and was the number two prosecutor- told me I had nothing to worry about. And then this letter that was- so outlandish and crazy gets sent to the parole board. I think it proves that they threw the case from the beginning- and that their ultimate goal was to keep me in prison.

00:00:03.124 --> 00:00:04.958

he'll tell you he doesn't

00:00:03.124 --> 00:00:04.958

remember that letter

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:06.042

and he didn't remember

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:06.042

signing it.

00:00:06.075 --> 00:00:08.249

If you look at the letter,

00:00:08.291 --> 00:00:10.416

the name right

00:00:08.291 --> 00:00:10.416

underneath Michael Duggan

00:00:10.458 --> 00:00:13.124

is that of his chief assistant,

00:00:13.166 --> 00:00:15.042

Samuel Gardner.

00:00:15.083 --> 00:00:19.291

Rick's two defense attorneys

00:00:15.083 --> 00:00:19.291

at the time he was convicted

00:00:19.333 --> 00:00:23.291

was Samuel Gardner and Ed Bell,

00:00:23.333 --> 00:00:24.917

who were law partners.

00:00:25.005 --> 00:00:29.000

[Wershe]

00:00:25.005 --> 00:00:29.000

He wanted to keep me in prison

00:00:25.005 --> 00:00:29.000

as long as he could.

00:00:29.002 --> 00:00:31.249

I mean here's a guy that was my

00:00:29.002 --> 00:00:31.249

lawyer-

00:00:31.291 --> 00:00:33.458

and was the number two

00:00:31.291 --> 00:00:33.458

prosecutor-

00:00:33.005 --> 00:00:35.583

told me I had nothing to worry

00:00:33.005 --> 00:00:35.583

about.

00:00:35.625 --> 00:00:37.625

And then this letter that was-

00:00:37.666 --> 00:00:40.541

so outlandish and crazy gets

00:00:37.666 --> 00:00:40.541

sent to the parole board.

00:00:40.583 --> 00:00:43.958

I think it proves that they

00:00:40.583 --> 00:00:43.958

threw the case from the

00:00:40.583 --> 00:00:43.958

beginning-

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.291

and that their ultimate goal was

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.291

to keep me in prison.

00:00:47.333 --> 00:00:49.166

[Kevin] So I went over

00:00:47.333 --> 00:00:49.166

to the hearing,

00:00:49.208 --> 00:00:51.208

and, in, in the first day

00:00:49.208 --> 00:00:51.208

of the hearing,

00:00:51.249 --> 00:00:53.249

I heard federal agents say

00:00:53.291 --> 00:00:56.333

that Rick Wershe

00:00:53.291 --> 00:00:56.333

was very helpful.
