[Coco] Diego Barizo

[Jim Cox]

All:

Earlier today while still being quite upset about what has 
happened to Diego, I commented about writing to someone in 
hopes of helping him is his plight.

Give how our system works, is it practical to try and 
write ones representatives in the hope that they may help? 
 I don't think that they would help in this matter or in 
time.      Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I think the best thing to do is offer some sort of moral 
or financial support to help Diego.  I am willing to do 
both and I think if enough of us were to offer to be a 
reference for Diego, maybe the system might cut him some 
slack and give him some time to get his stuff together. 
 Again does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I am trying not to be pessimistic, but the reality of the 
situation are just hitting me.  I hope that some how Diego 
gets a great lawyer and a sympathetic judge and a miracle 
does happen.

Jim
