Hurwitz Support Letter Suggestions

Hurwitz Support Letter Suggestions; Alex DeLuca; 2007-05-13.

Dr. Hurwitz will be sentenced on July 13, 2007.

My understanding is that Letters of Support are important in the sentencing process and CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Letters should be respectful - a measured and objective voice is more effective than an emotional and dramatic one. And please refrain from suggesting to the judge what sentence she should impose.

Indicate a “foundational basis” of your knowledge of Dr. Hurwitz and his work. That is, you are a pain patient, or a colleague, or a family member of a pain patient, or a legal professional, or whatever. You have experience and/or knowledge you feel the Judge should take into consideration in sentencing.

Then, briefly and directly, tell the Judge what you think she should understand about Dr. Hurwitz and his work.

If you are uncertain about whether or not to write to the Judge, then you should write to the Judge as per defense attorney Sauber’s instructions.
