NEW FLORIDA EXONERATION

Late Friday night, John Robert Ballard became the 26th prisoner in Florida 
to be exonerated and released from death row (#123 on the national 
list!).  Read all about it at www.FADP.org

And please -- Florida has no compensation program for the wrongly 
convicted.  Ballard received the standard $100 upon his release.  If you 
would like to help John land on his feet, please contribute to FADP's 
Exonerated Prisoner Relief Fund via the form at 
http://www.fadp.org/relief_fund.html -- ALL proceeds go directly to John.
