however, we really need the letters to keep coming in over the next several
weeks. If you haven't already, please contact our State Attorneys by email,
fax, phone and/or mail (use one standard letter and format with cc's to
both parties) stating that you wish for the case of Florida vs. Alan R.
Yurko (CR98-1730) be reopened and reexamined in light of new evidence
and in the interest of justice. A form letter, easily downloaded, is available

TOUGH
NEWS:
After several months of Francine's job hunting and multiple resume submissions,
she landed a great job through an agency as a Regional Office Manager
with an organization that raises/trains assistance dogs for the disabled.
She loved the job. However, she was fired after only two weeks. The organization
looked into The Yurko Project and fired Francine citing a very vague "conflict
of interest" reason. Francine was being fired because of The Yurko
Project.
These
are very scary times for us, as we believe it will be difficult for her
to find a job. The financial pressures have been staggering, so much so
that Francine had to take a temporary 1-day labor job stuffing envelopes
to help with groceries. If anyone has any contacts in Orlando who may
have an opening or can help Francine gain employment, please let us know
ASAP.
Most
people do not know this but, by far, the biggest financial donations to
The Yurko Project have come from Francine Yurko's paychecks. She's our
top benefactor.
MEDIA NOTES:
Francine was interviewed by ABC-WFTV:
http://www.wftv.com/news/1929495/detail.html
And CBS-WKMG not only interviewed Francine, but was at the prison on March
7, 2003 to interview Alan. Further details to come.
The
Orlando Weekly reported on the medical examiner's gross autopsy
errors of the case:
http://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/story.asp?ID=3801
And
both Francine and Alan have been interviewed by The Orlando Sentinel,
which will be out soon. An investigative reporter out of Ft. Myers (ABC-WZVN)
is interviewing our own Dr Robie Murdock about the case, and The Orlando
Fox Network has expressed interest now as well. On Feb 28 /Mar 1, 03,
Francine was in Tampa and Naples filming with Gary Null, PhD to be included
in his upcoming documentary, "The Drugging Of Our Children".
Our appellate lawyer Loren Rhoton and Dr Murdock also participated. As
well, Judy Davis of “The Best of Judy Davis” has expressed
interest in doing a documentary. Also, Fintan Dunne's shocking journalism
on the toxicological findings is still making waves:

The Yurko website has received more than 15,000 and 16,000 hits in January
and February respectively, and we've got upcoming stories to be published
in Amberwaves: The Journal of Planetary Health as well
as the recent story in The Civil Abolitionist, The Dixon Tribune
and the syndicated “Dear Lee” column. Much
more is in the pipeline!
IMPORTANT
The closer we get to resolution, the tougher it gets. The pressure of
financial difficulties and 5.5 years of struggle are taking tolls on us.
We really do need your help and support now more than ever.
Grateful,
Alan & Francine Yurko
