Mangino: Justice will not be Served
**Mangino: Justice will not be Served**; by William Mangino, M.D.; War on Doctors/Pain Crisis blog of the Pain Relief Network; 2007-09-12.
I will be sentenced on this Friday. The proceeding begins at 11 A.M in Newcastle Pennsylvania.
I am expecting a sentence of 10-20 years in prison.
I will not have time to email everyone individually. Nor will I be making any phone calls-I am too busy writing the appeal.
If you wish to visit me in prison, write or call the Pennsylvania Department of corrections. I will not keep a standing visitor list, as I did in county jail. I will not keep a standard phone call list – except for my immediate family. I will not make calls, as it is going to be too upsetting to have outside communications.
If you want to write, that’s OK – I will try to reply.
It’s time to realize that justice will probably not be served. So it’s time to face my sentence regardless of how unfair I think it is.
Doing time is a mental thing. If I can find a way to do it that best serves my mental needs – I will. I may not be able to be what everybody expects me to be. I need to survive – one way or the other.
Thanks for your support. It meant more to me than I have the ability to explain.
I am innocent. If any part of anyone feels differently – don’t call or write.
For those of you that have gone overboard to help me – you did the right thing.
In Pennsylvania there is no time off for good behavior. The minimum will be served.
When I get out I gotta find my way anew. I may not want to contact old friends – I may not live long enough to get out – and when I do – you might not be there. I don’t want to deal with any more losses – I can’t do it.
