David Hinkson Died in prison Feb. 4th 2022

 A  trusted family member has just informed that David Hinkson (America's  Most Provably Innocent Political Prisoner) has been diagnosed with stage  4 colon and liver cancer.  The prison doctor's prognosis is that David  has 18 months to live.  Erin said that the World does not deserve David.   Please lift up David Hinkson and his family during this time.  We  serve a mighty living sovereign God that does not operate within the  confines of a prison doctor prognosis.  Again, please lift up a prayer  to Jesus for David Hinkson and his family.

Re. political prisoner  David R. Hinkson
 

       To the caring friends of David Hinkson, this update. 
A federal prisoner now for 20 years,  David remains currently in a North Carolina medical prison,  enduring stage 4 systemic cancers.
 

         Diagnosed as terminally ill in early 2020, David qualified           under the law of compassionate release, to be returned to his family within 30 days.  Then, with all medical and legal preparations made, including home approval, everything           stopped, and nearly a year passed before many could learn why.
 

         Witness Richard C. Tallman, presiding judge of David's 2005           criminal trials.  Defense counsel filed repeated formal requests for release, only to have Judge Tallman issue countermands, directed to both the prison warden and the BOP. Quoting from the judge's letter of February 19, 2021... 
 

"...enclosed is a copy of my Memorandum Decision and Order             of July 7, 2020, denying an earlier motion based on my finding that (David Hinkson's) release would pose a danger to the community....It is my recommendation that you deny his renewed motion on that basis."
 

Receiving a copy of this letter just recently, we phoned and spoke with Judge Tallman's legal assistant at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, following up with a promised letter of appeal emailed later that day,  and by a signed hard copy the next.  Our letter asked in part,  "Even if in years past, David Hinkson were seriously  thought to be a danger to his community, how can that possibly be of legitimate concern today when the man can barely sit or stand, or take meager nourishment?"  
 

         Another day later, our last call to the court had hoped to confirm that my emailed letter had been duly received, and placed before the judge.  However, the same young legal assistant informed me she could not answer the question, nor discuss anything at all with me.  Quite dismayed but insistent, I twice asked why, to which she merely replied, "Have a nice day, Ma'am," and hung up.   
 

         Please remember to pray for David and his family.  So dire is           his physical state, that daily we seriously doubt he can remain with us for another tomorrow.  Need more be said?!  -- except to invite that anyone so moved feel free to make to this court your own respectful but urgent request......for whether truth and right be honored or not, let it always be that for which we stand.  (judge_tallman@ca9.uscourts.gov)
 

         Thank You.
