"We are gathering letters of support for SERGIO to present to the judge when he is arraigned in order to argue for his release either on reduced bail or on his own recognizance. THE MORE THE BETTER!

If you would be willing to write a letter of support for Sergio, here is what it should include: (EMAIL IT TO ME at jbee84@att.net)

-Your relationship to Sergio, how long you've known him and in what capacity
-general good character reference, including specific incidents that demonstrate his character and why he is important to the community and should be released
-evidence of stability, roots in LA, commitment to things over time (this will help with arguing for reduced or no bail)

The letter can be addressed To Whom It May Concern. Also, this may be obvious, but the letter is meant to appeal to a judge so a focus on more mainstream aspects of Sergio's life and activites would be most helpful. Finally, hard copy letters with signature would be ideal and a few of us will be available to collect letters over the weekend, but emailed letters are fine too.

You can and probably should include some facts, such as when he was arrested, what the charges are, what the bail amount is, when he is expected to be arraigned (possibly Tues, but Wed also likely), and what his overall condition is . DO NOT include ANY information about the incident. This info should only be shared with lawyers

incident #120112005404 booking# 3011065 metro police station# 213- 356- 3446, his bail is set at $50,000 let's call and demand his bail be reduced and he be arraigned today if nothing else.
If you'd do it for me you should probably do it for him.

$50,000 dollar bail is excessive. If you want to help : Call the bail commissioner and ask that Sergio Ballesteros' bail be lowered. Collect: (213) 351-0311Toll Free: 1 (800) 773-5151Hours: 6:30 AM to Midnight...

PLEASE HELP OUT WITH THIS.. the MORE WELL WRITTEN LETTERS THE BETTER!"
