November 7, 2010 Update on Brandon
It's been a while since we've updated you all. Brandon has spent the summer settling in at CSP/Lancaster. His move to this prison in LA County continues to be better for him and for us. More friends and family have been able to visit and best of all, the yard he is on has a hobby program. We purchase the supplies through the prison and Brandon is allowed to paint with oils, his favorite medium. In fact, two of his paintings (as well as those from other inmates on his yard) have been donated to the Catalyst Foundation for a benefit auction to be held at the House of Blues this month. For Brandon, painting is the best therapy in the world for what he has been through for the last 15 years and the life he is forced to lead every day.
Our writing campaign to Governor Schwarzenegger continues and we ask you to please write to him using the letter writing kit we've provided via the link on the home page. We have not heard any words of encouragement from his office but we have not let that dissuade us. We continue to write and ask him to please fully commute Brandon's sentence before he leaves office in January. If you haven't written to the Governor on Brandon's behalf, please do so now. If you have already sent a letter, please write again. Please help us to bring Brandon home.
Warmest regards,
Gene and Janice Hein

Dear Parents of Brandon,
Brandon and I used to write back and forth a lot, many years ago. I was very involved in him getting out of prison. Since 2001, I've moved back to my home state of Arkansas. I still would love to get the word out. A lot of focus that we have here in the south, is on the WM3 (West Memphis 3). Similar story (to a degree). Can we PLEASE set up a FACEBOOK profile to educate people on Brandon's case?!? I've searched and searched. Bottom line, Facebook is global, and will get the word out to thousands and thousands in a matter of days!!!
Please email me at maliahpinkleton@gmail.com if I can help in ANY way!! Thank you!
Dear Family of Brandon Hein,
I am praying for your son and have been doing some independent research on his case and the possibilities that may still exist for his freedom, considering the latest news regarding the the Courts decision pertaining to the denial of a rehearing of his case.

Mr. and Mrs. Hein;
My name is Denise Mowder and I am an Assistant Professor in Criminal Justice. One course I teach is Ethics for the Criminal Justice Professional. I have used your son's case as an example on how the entire system has failed in it's ethical duty. This case has left a lasting impact on my students, something they will remember.
I will continue to use this case to teach as many new criminal justice professionals an ethical code of conduct.
My thoughts are with you and Brandon.

I'm currently a senior in High School , and i have recently learned about the injustice that cause Brandon, Micah, Jason, and Nick their freedom. I can promise you that i will do everything in my power to help fight for the freedom all four of them deserve. I will write to the senator of California as many times as necessary , until justice is served. You are all in my prayers, and continue to stay strong.
Hello Mr. and Mrs. Hein-
I hope that 2011 wil be the year Brandon is released and that he can add to the person he has become while incarcerated. I am a US History/American Govt.teacher at Bloomington High in Bloomington,CA. I presented my last semester's students with the travesty surrounding Echols-Baldwin-Miskelly-the WestMemphis3 in Arkansas. I am ashamed that I was not aware of the travesty surrounding Brandon until very recently. I will be posting his plight on the 3's website, even if it is already there. Redundance repetition is required. I will be presenting Brandon's plight this next semester. It is really becoming increasingly hard to teach students about American justice when these boys are all in jail. Also, can you please provide me with Brandon's address. Thank you. I plan to write any and everyone I can think of about this all. Thank you and continue to be strong.

I think you would like to know that I just watched 'Reckless Indifference'last night and this is the first time hearing about this.I was so shocked and couldn't stop looking at my two children(two boys)and thinking I can't imagine what that mother is going through.My heart truly goes out to you and you really have some kind of strength to keep going and what a great mother you are to not write off you son being prison but instead fighting back and never giving up.I will be praying for you and your family and know that 16 years later there are still people out here that are seeing this for the first time and learning about this horrific accident.
Dear Brandon Hein,
I have just sent an email to the govenor for your release. I have gone over the case, all documents and video and see you are not guilty. I believe in your freedom and want your release more than anything. You have served your time and deserve pardon more than anyone. I'm a citizen who has seen and heard everything. you don't deserve to be there especially for as many years you have been there. Your an artist who deserves to be returned to his loving family and mother. My heart goes out to you and pray Jerry Brown releases you from your hell and un needed torment. Always, Amanda Brown citizen
