[Frameworks] July 2014 Update on Lawrence Brose

[defensefund at lawrencebrose.com]

Dear Friends and Supporters of Lawrence Brose,

The most important thing to communicate here is to express the gratitude
that Lawrence is feeling right now for all the support he has received
over the duration of this nearly six year ordeal.  108 letters of support
are being submitted to the Court to ask for leniency in sentencing.

When the plea deal was presented by the DA to Lawrence’s attorneys, it
offered Lawrence a chance to leave this nightmare behind.  Please remember
that Lawrence is still living under court mandated probation requirements
as he has since the beginning of the allegations.  This has not been an
easy road for Lawrence, but the letters of support have certainly lifted
his spirits and reminded him of his own value.  Family and friends, fellow
artists, colleagues, artists he has supported, legal justice advocates,
distinguished members of the Buffalo community and representatives of the
national art world he has worked in, all want to put this chapter behind
so he can return to be the artist and arts mentor he is.

The sentencing hearing is taking place on Wednesday, September 3rd at 3pm
in the new federal court building, (2 Niagara Square in downtown Buffalo)
in Hon. Chief Judge William M. Skretny’s court.

Please take a moment to realize that all of your support has been deeply
appreciated and helpful.

Sincerely,

The Lawrence Brose Defense Fund Team
