Call from Greg tonight 09/09/09

Got a call from Greg tonight. He was able to get his eyes checked. Without his glasses he was not able to make out anything on the chart at all. They are going to set him up to see an optometrist and hopefully he will get an appointment in the next couple of weeks. He had a visit from the staff of The NC Innocence Inquiry Commission. They went down get some legal stuff taken care of. I'm sure he was happy to be able to thank them in person for all the hard work they have put into finally bringing out the truth in his case.
Kristen asked in a previous comment what would be coming next.Here is what I undersatnd will take place. The request has or will be put in to the Chief Justice of the NC Supreme Court to form a three judge panel to review the case. Once the three judge panel has been formed they will establish a hearing date. As mentioned in the statute Kristen referred to, the State will file a response to the order from the commission within sixty days of the judges setting a hearing date indicating whether or not it will argue the case. The state does have the ability to drop the charges at any time. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they went ahead and dropped the charges?!?

Yes!! That would be amazing if they go ahead and drop the charges, and pursue them against the man who actually did it!

Yes, that would be amazing. If the DA does what is in the best interest of all, then they will just vacate the judgment.

i think it would be in the best interest foe the state of nc to dismiss this case
