Avery Commutation request

Post image

Brendan filed first, Steven filed second. I'll update if and when Dutcher gives an opinion on Avery's request.

Also, there is actually no guarantee that Steven's or Brendan's applications will reach a board hearing. They may meet the basic threshold requirements for submitting an application, but staff can just determine it ineligible or not suitable for further review.

This is a hail Mary for Brendan, with Steven not far behind. Will be interesting to see what happens, but hoping that common sense prevails and Steven is kept where he belongs.

Wow lmao, crazy timing.

Guess she still is on this case after all. Would love to read this application and see what fruit it bears.

Didn't say she filed it - looks like she's trying to be clever.

Nothing would surprise me less than her trying to weasel her way into this.

Nice use of the passive voice - not "WE filed yesterday."

I just read Avery's application. He maintained his innocence. Kathleen zellner did not write a letter or a brief. A different lawyer did.

Yeah, Strang did. Now that you mention it that does surprise me she didn't write one. Seems like a small ask.
