Sean Kennedy’s family will
never see justice done for Sean. Because of the inadequacy of South Carolina
murder laws and the lack of hate crime statutes, his killer, Stephen Andrew
Moller, could be out of prison as early as February. We must protest this
injustice and ask the parole board to make Moller serve the remainder of his
sentence.
Moller was plea bargained down to involuntary manslaughter and
received a suspended 5 year sentence for his crime. Because of the credit he
received for time he served before his sentencing, the longest possible time he
will have to serve in prison is until September 2009. Despite the violence of
his crime, he could be eligible for parole by this coming February, meaning that
he will have served only 8 months since his sentencing in prison.
The
parole board is currently conducting an investigation to decide whether to allow
him to have a parole hearing, so it is critical that they hear from you that
Stephen Andrew Moller violently murdered Sean Kennedy and should serve the
remainder of his sentence!
Please consider writing a letter to the parole
board and ask them to deny Stephen Moller parole and serve out his sentence. In
your letter, please remind the board of the violent and unprovoked nature of
Moller’s offense and the pain and suffering it has caused in the lives of Sean
Kennedy’s family and friends. If you have the time, please write a personal
letter by hand or by computer, as those will be the most effective, and if you
knew Sean or his family personally, please include that
information.
Also, please let Elke know if you send a letter and if
possible, send her a copy of the letter, so she can have copies to take with her
to the parole hearing. Please forward your lrtters to me at pridetb@verizon.net and I'll forward them on to
Elke.
HERE is the website where you can send your letter to ask that
Stephen Moller's parole be denied. Please add this information as a reference
for online requests:
Parole for Stephen Andrew Moller - SCDC ID #
00328891.
http://www.dppps.sc.gov/oppose_parole.html
Or Send your letters
to:
Department of Probation Pardon and Parole Services
2221 Devine Street,
Suite 600, PO Box 50666
Columbia SC 29250
Again, please be sure to inclued
this information as a reference in your letter:
Parole for Stephen Andrew
Moller - SCDC ID # 00328891.
If not you....Who? If not
now.....When?
We have to face this problem TOGETHER
Personal Note: Elke is a dear friend, who I admire for how
she has turned her grief and loss, into positive action against hate and hate
inspired violence directed against GLBT's. Please take a few moments to either
contact the Department of Probation Pardon and Parole Services by letter or
online. By remaining silient, we allow homophobic animals like Moller. and
others, to kill one of our own and get off with such a light sentence. This
sends a terrible message that our lives are worth less than our hetrosexual
counterparts. To take a life, with the punishment being a slap on the hand
sentence and be walking the streets in just a few years is unacceptable. Also,
please forward copies of your letters or copy/past your online messages to me,
so, I can forward them to Elke to have during Moller's parole
hearing.
In Peace, Pride & Equality
