Release RALPH "PLOOKIE" DUKE
Sentenced outside of the law and sentencing guidelines, Mr. Duke has served 25 years of a LIFE PLUS FORTY YEAR prison term for drug sales. Seventy years old, his family wants him home.
Why is this important?
FREE RALPH PLOOKIE DUKE
This is a plea for attention, support, and consideration for the release of RALPH "PLOOKIE" DUKE.
During the cocaine/disco/bad girl era of the 80's, PLOOKIE was convicted of cocaine sales and related charges.
When he was sentenced, it was somehow decided that he was going to be an example set by whomever-the city, the law, the legal system- and blatantly sentenced to LIFE PLUS FORTY YEARS!
It was flaunted and even advertised on billboards that his sentence was intentionally set to be ridiculous and not in accordance with any sentencing guidelines for his charges: TO SET AN EXAMPLE.
With public humiliation and advertised gloating added to the ridiculous sentence, hangings, public lynchings, and burning of witches resounds a bit too eerily.
Setting all that aside, EXAMPLE SET, DONE, DEAD. It is no longer current nor effective.
The real and current concern and NEED FOR CORRECTION-other than the rest of PLOOKIE's life-is a fair, just, equal legal system with standardized sentencing that is, in itself, within the law, and protects all of our legal, civil, human, and constitutional rights without bias and prejudice.
Please pause briefly, as a responsible citizen, to consider and attend to this travesty of justice.
It won't take much time nor any detailed scrutiny since it's ludicrousness was pronounced at sentencing and touted as advertised afterwards.
PLOOKIE has already served 25 and counting years!
Our legal system is NOT OUTSIDE THE LAW OR CITIZEN RIGHTS!
