@mwcarolina my bad. misunderstood what exactly you were trying to ask i suppose. well in that case i have no idea
-
no, i mean did they stop today?? are the letters still being written?? and if they arent when did they stop?? i know they continued when Paul was in prison.
-
@mwcarolina no they did not. infact, they increased in frequency once Paul was in prison
-
@MrTops2100 excuse me..did you say rare? I believe the word that goes there is "common"
-
but i guess anyone can mail letters to help the guy get out of jail. they just have to be sure is what i assumed

@MattBeckstrom It was 1983. It was a different time; a time when everyone in the world was an idiot. Because of the police forcing their Freshour hunch down the court's throat and being completely incompetent, as far as I know this case has never actually been solved. Theres barely any information online about this case; most of it pulled from the UM story anyway. And the actual letters themselves have never been fully transcribed for online viewing.

I think Paul Freshour should've done 2 things. The first one is secure his weapon. Who keeps a gun in their garage? I own 3 guns, and they're all in my closet. 2 of them have trigger locks and the 3rd there is no ammo for it in the house. The second thing is take the stand. Why didn't he take the stand and clear his name? I would've.

my question is did the letters stop??? and if they did when???

Anyone from Circleville know anything else about this? This is one UM case that always drove me crazy. I would love to be able to read the court transcripts to Paul's case. And I would love to be able to read some of the letters (though I realize that's highly unlikely as they probably don't even exist now).
It's absolutely appalling that the government (the "system") would keep the man in prison even after the letters continued. Unfortunately, cases like these are more common than some people think. Most people who have ecstatic faith in the U.S. justice system have had no experience with it.
True justice would mean seeing the criminal investigators/district attorneys/etc who covered up the truth bet thrown in jail themselves.

I feel so bad for Paul Freshour. He lost ten years of his life for doing nothing.
