I’ve been receiving some unhappy comments either repeating Anti-American sentiments that put Eric in jail in the first place or demanding that I prove Eric’s innocence. My nation’s view of  “justice” is that a person is “innocent until proven guilty.” I know that not all countries’ judicial systems’ function with this rule in mind. In fact, some governments decree that you are “guilty until proven innocent.” Because so much evidence proving Eric was 2 hours away during the crime was thrown out, and because the prosecution provided no physical evidence that he committed the crime, and because a key testimony against him was given by a self-admitted drunk who was originally accused of the crime… I feel the United States government should have no choice but to try to help him get out of there.

As his former classmate and colleague who can attest to his kindness and genuine empathy for the people of Latin America, I feel I should stand up for what I think is right and help him in any way I can. This includes telling everyone I know about it, and trying to raise money for his legal fees as he is going to appeal. Oh, and about the scratch on his back, please keep in mind that no skin- in fact no DNA whatsoever of Eric was found at the crime scene. That includes traces of his skin on the victim’s fingernails, which would be apparent if she had scratched him. Nothing was found. In fact, the victim’s mother would not let him pay for an autopsy. He sincerely wanted to help find the murderer. Instead, the mother had the body embalmed.
