An Open Letter from Scott M. Kareff, Attorney for Schulte Roth and Zabel LLP, Thank You!, Robert Paisola Reports

To our Worldwide Viewers, Readers and Listeners across the Globe:

As many of you know, we receive hundreds of requests from Attorneys, Individuals, and Families of the Wrongfully Accused around the world.

We take each request very seriously, no matter how small the situation seems at the time. We truly understand the pain and suffering that you are going through because of your personal situation. We do all that we can to make sure that every single piece of mail, email and request for information is responded to by one of our dedicated volunteers and staff members.

We also know that many of you believe that there are DNA specific issues that you wish to have reviewed, because you feel that the technology that is now available might be able to clear your loved one or client.

Because of this question, we feel that it is essential to respond openly to a very nice letter that we received from Scott M. Kareff, an Attorney based in New York City about our foundation. Wow! we are making a difference in the world! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

We openly commend Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld who created the INNOCENCE PROJECT almost 15 years ago, out of a need for detailed analysis of cases of individuals who could and should be cleared because of technology that is now available that was not readily available 15 years ago.

This commitment by Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld created a tidal wave of support, stemming from a small legal clinic affiliated with the Benjamin N. Cardoza School of Law at Yeshiva University, that was dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals THROUGH DNA TESTING and reforming of the criminal justice system to prevent further injustice.

For over 15 years Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld have been able to raise public awareness of the serious problems in the Criminal Justice System. The continue, through The Innocence Project, to educate the public via classes, seminars, conferences, clinics, and workshops in the field of Criminal Justice.

Their success is amazing and they even decided to create an "Innocence Network" that includes The Alaska Innocence Project, The Arizona Justice Project, The Northern Arizona Justice Project, The Innocence Project Arkansas, the Midwestern Innocence Project, The California and Hawaii Innocence Project, The Northern California Innocence Project at Santa Clara University, The Colorado Innocence Project, The Connecticut Innocence Project, The New England Innocence Project, The Mid Atlantic Innocence Project, The Innocence Project of Florida, The Georgia Innocence Project, The Idaho Innocence Project, The Medill Innocence Project, The Downstate Illinois Innocence Project, The Innocence Project of Iowa, The Wisconsin Innocence Project, The University of Kentucky Innocence Project, The Innocence Project of New Orleans, The Innocence Project of the Northwest, The Thomas M. Cooley Innocence Project, The Michigan Innocence Clinic, The Innocence Project of Minnesota, the Mississippi Innocence Project, the The Innocence Project at UVA School of Law, The Montana Innocence Project, The Nebraska Innocence Project,The Rocky Mountain Innocence Center, The New England Innocence Project, The New Mexico Innocence and Justice Project, The OHIO Innocence Project, The Pennsylvania Innocence Project, The Palmetto Innocence Project, The Texas Innocence Network, The Innocence Project of Texas, and The Wesleyan Innocence Project. (Special thanks to Attorney Scott M. Kareff for this resource listing)

As a result of the work that started with two men and a dream, Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld created a very well respected Network of Individuals who share in the same goal, to free the innocent. Through their worldwide website at www.innocenceproject.org , Scheck and Neufeld have gained the respect of the world, as they have taken the DNA Evidence Provision to a new standard.

Our question is simple? Where are the other States NOT LISTED ABOVE in their pursuit of Freeing the Innocent Man through usage of technology? Simply said... They are nowhere to be seen!

Attorney Karreff stated that "Having looked into your (The Robert Paisola Foundation) organization, it's mission and its achievements, The Innocence Project is aware and applauds you for your successes that you have had" We thank Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld, Mr. Kareff and their organization for their notice of the success that we are having around the world! There is no better endorsement than that of Attorney Karreff on behalf of the FOUNDERS of the Innocence Project, and The Innocence Project itself.. his clients!

One thing that Attorney Karreff pointed out in his letter to our office was that even though our successes are and have been noticed on a worldwide basis, there are still people who may believe that we can assist or have the ability and funding to deal with DNA Specific Issues.

This truly makes sense, as the world is aware of the power of DNA Testing, and the decisive changes that it can make to a family of the falsely accused and its global scientific value.

We want to be completely clear to our readers that we do not deal with DNA issues and do not have the ability to assist those seeking exoneration via DNA Extraction and Comparison Methodologies. This is where we simply ask you to visit the Innocence Project Website and "get in line" as you seek the assistance you deserve. If you need assistance not in the scientific realm, but of an investigative nature, we can assist you.

What we do at the Robert Paisola Foundation is much different than what Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld do with their Network of Affiliate Agencies listed above. We use the media and our investigative techniques and technology to not only prove a mans innocence, but through usage of Investigative Media Techniques and endorsements from world renowned experts across the globe we create public awareness using our vast networks to ensure that EVERYBODY INVOLVED, including the Court, The Judges, The Prosecutors, The Inmates, The Families, Defense Counsel, The Prosecution and most importantly, our readers, viewers and listeners simply know and understand that there is a problem that must be resolved. We do not churn the courts with paperwork, we do not grandstand, we simply point out the issues that have created the illegal conduct that Imprisoned the Condemned , regardless of the "political correctness" of our methods.

The bottom line is if you choose to screw with one of our clients, and you make a mistake, your statements will be heard worldwide. We promise you that.

The Innocence Project that was started by Scheck and Neufeld is applauded by The Robert Paisola Foundation for their work to free the innocent. We are similar, however there are many differences. And you will see in the future, as we forensically examine the Harry Blausey Case based in Licking County (Newark, Ohio) that we are spending a very large sum of money to do what the trial counsel failed to do, and to present that to the people that count, The American Public and Judge Thomas Marcelain of Newark, Ohio, Licking County Ohio via www.HarryBlausey.com.

You should also know that Scheck and Neufeld have a very sophisticated method for accepting cases and that because of the OJ Simpson Trial, they have gained the right to pick and choose who they represent. We understand that they have even created a way to authorize, license and sponsor agencies that support their ideals. And money is generated from the creation and fees generated at their classes, seminars, conferences, clinics, and workshops in the field of Criminal Justice. They have even trademarked their Name INNOCENCE PROJECT ! Impressive!

So, even though we know that the intentions of their organization are somewhat parallel to our missions and goals, we need to again state, we can not assist with issues involving the "Innocence Network" including Murder Issues and Sexual Assault Issues, as we leave that to the worlds best.. Scheck and Neufeld.

Therefore, we want to make a public statement that if you need assistance in the areas covered by The Innocence Network, contact one of their affiliates listed above or below. If you are in a state that does not have an official innocence project, including Utah, we ask one simple question... WHY?

Scheck and Neufeld, publically state that in addition to working on behalf of those who may have been wrongfully convicted of crimes throughout the United States, The Innocence Project performs research and advocacy related to the causes of wrongful convictions. The Innocence Project is a member of the Innocence Network, which brings together a number of innocence organizations from across the United States.

As of July 23, 2009, 240 defendants previously convicted of serious crimes in the United States had been exonerated by DNA testing. Almost all of these convictions involved some form of sexual assault and approximately 25% involved murder. (See Wikipedia)

As of July 23, 2009, 240 defendants previously convicted of serious crimes (Murder Issues and Sexual Assault Issues) in the United States had been exonerated by DNA testing. Almost all of these convictions involved some form of sexual assault and approximately 25% involved murder.(See Wikipedia)

The Robert Paisola Foundation pays high regard to these men who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of justice and commends their organization for their dedicated focus on Sexual Assault and Murder. This is now essential to our society.

We thank Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld, Attorney Scott M. Kareff and the entire Innocence Project Team for their acknowledgment of our accomplishments. This means more than you know.

We are in the process of garnering support throughout the country so that The Robert Paisola Foundation, just like The Thomas M. Cooley Innocence Project that are now part of the Innocence Network, will be added to the list of agencies, foundations and individuals who are focused on the goal of freeing the innocent, using a web of agencies in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand to create a non-competitive environment for all who endure to free the enslaved.

In this battle for justice, there are no competitors, just alliances. And the alliances run deep.

We ask Attorney Kareff in this open forum to now allow the hundreds of organizations who work on a daily basis to work side by side with your official clients of the Innocence Project, as they progress toward their mutual goals of reuniting those in The Criminal Justice System with their loved ones. Can you imagine what the world would be like if you were able to continue your trend of freeing 240 innocent people WITH the assistance of hundreds of organizations that share the same ideals as your clients Scheck and Neufeld? We believe that based on statistical data almost 20 percent of the imprisoned population is truly innocent... guess how many are of African American Descent? You know the numbers.

In the meantime, we honor our different approaches to freeing the accused, and pay tribute to the scientific methods of dealing crimes such as Sexual Assault and Murder, but ask you to now open the doors of freedom to men like Harry Blausey, Rick Koerber, Steve Cloward,Robert Lambert and Many others, who represent a new generation of perceived "White Collar Defendants" who are unjustly incarcerated for many years because of illegal and unethical issues with Counsel, Side Deals with the Prosecution, "Counsel who SOLD OUT for other Clients", The Media, The Public Paid Investigators, The Paid vs Non Paid Lawyers and The American Public, who were all convicted in the media... many months if not years before their "day in court"

Thank you Attorney Scott M. Kareff and your firm for your support. We are here 24/7 if you need us!

To your continued success,

Life on the outside can be tough for ex-inmates, as they struggle to find jobs, housing, and readjust to everyday experiences.

Some states are considering freeing prisoners ahead of schedule to save billions of budget dollars. But if more prisoners leave jail sooner, what will be the impact on re-entry and rehabilitation resources?

Farai Chideya talks with Melissa Bradley — president of the Re-entry Strategies Institute — and Jason Sole, a re-entry services associate at AMICUS, a Minnesota-based nonprofit that helps inmates and ex-offenders.

Prison Partners, Western Capital and Robert Paisola to Join "The Mission Africa Project"

Mission Africa
Opening creative doors of cultural exchange
creating strategic alliances and obtaining
resources to assist the underprivileged in Africa


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Being born and raised in Nigeria, we can define poverty as the inability to afford life's basic needs such as food, water, shelter, clothing, basic education and access to health care. Children suffer most in these conditions being that they are helpless and vulnerable.



With the severe economic shocks that rocked the Nigerian economy during the early 1980s there has been a steady increase in the level of poverty in the country. Among the factors contributing to the shocks were declining prices of oil, the country's main export, and rises in real international interest rates that compounded the external debt. The major underlying reason, however, was domestic policy mistakes.

Economic reforms were introduced by the government of Nigeria in mid 1986 in a structural adjustment program that included exchange rate devaluation, trade and financial reforms, and budgetary and monetary contraction. These reforms have not revitalized the economy's growth in Nigeria. Rather, there has continued to be the widening gap between the poor and the rich.



Having experienced first-hand this deplorably poor lifestyle, Ikoro and Ndudi started Mission Africa in 2003, a non-profit organization with a 501(c)3 status, with a mission to open creative doors of cultural exchange to positively impact the people of Africa.



Mission Africa board is made up of compassionate men and women with a desire and enthusiasm to create strategic alliances and obtain resources to assist the underprivileged in Africa especially, the children.



This Organization is an idea whose time has come. It signifies our contribution towards making life bearable for poor innocent children in Africa through the giving of kind hearted individuals, businesses and charitable organizations


GOALS AND OBJECTIVES




The goals and objectives of this project shall be divided into three namely: short term, medium and long term.



Short Term



In pursuit of these objectives, Mission Africa in partnership with LIWOCARE, has been engaged in the following activities: free medical outreaches, care for widows, Offer scholarships and school supplies to the poor and needy children, contribution to orphanages, feeding of street beggars, skill acquisition\rehabilitation programs, payment of hospital bills for indigent people, support of the deaf, dumb and blind, counseling and much more.

Twice a year, Mission Africa offers opportunities to Americans who desire to experience life in a different culture, through short-term mission trips, to Africa. This provide an avenue for many to see first-hand, the desperate situations of these helpless children in Africa.



Medium Term



Medium term objectives will focus on the expansion of the above objectives and outreach programs to become a mission field for economic development, and cultural exchanges between people's of the world. Mission Africa has a mandate to

v To provide, care, nurture and rehabilitate all those who are in physical, material, mental and spiritual needs; the poor, the depraved, the abandoned, prisoners, the oppressed, the distressed, the homeless and the dejected.

v To protect and defend the rights of children, the helpless, the oppressed,

v To build and establish, orphanages

v To build a global Mission house for missionaries and a retreat ground for church leaders

v To build and establish health clinics for the poor and helpless.

v To build a Youth (Vocational) Centre to train the youth on trade skills

v To provide gainful employment for the unemployed.

v To establish small businesses for responsible adults through micro loans

v To create tangible awareness about HIV/AIDS among the youth

v To reduce infant mortality by providing nutrition and health care services

v To work with adoption agencies in America for possible adoptions from our

v To offer educational opportunities through scholarship

v To provide means of transportation to missionaries by acquiring Mission Vans/SUVs

v To provide counseling services, organize workshops and seminars aimed at uplifting the condition and environment of the poor and needy in the society.

v To liaise with prison authorities, legal departments, hospitals, remand homes and orphanage with a view to assisting the inmates.

These efforts will exhibit the wealth of untapped gifts, talents and creativity imbedded in these neglected African children. Mission Africa will provide wholesome family economic sustainability within the framework of individual cultures and lifestyles of various African peoples. Teaching them to fish and not provide the fish all the time.



Long Term



Long term is to engage in educational and cultural exchanges between participants in the US and the various peoples of African countries. This is more so now that there is a major growth in private universities, civil society initiatives and international businesses. We may subject to availability of resources, produce arts, craft and cross-cultural educational materials for use both in Africa and the US.

MISSION AFRICA OVERVIEW




Description of Projects



Mission Africa started by partnering with organizations that are actually doing the work, running orphanages, providing for the poor and needy etc.

Clearly stating the vision of Mission Africa, will provide the compassionate with step-by-step directions on how to gather those in their sphere of influence and, together, do something life-saving and life-changing! for underprivileged families in Africa.



100% of all donations for Mission Africa projects go entirely to the designated project. Mission Africa solicits funds from businessmen and individual sponsors to specifically fund the administrative costs, staff and overhead. These projects include:

v To build, 3 orphanages each housing 30 orphans (1st building in progress)

v To build 1 Youth (Vocational) Centre to train the youth on trade skills

v To build 2 Health Centres (1st Building in progress)

v To build 2 Mission Houses to house and care for mission teams and church leaders.

v To provide Mission Vans/SUVs for Missionaries' transportation while in Africa.


Methodology


Mission Africa intends to use our experiential knowledge of the culture, traditions and mannerisms of Africans to determine and prioritize the needs, one village or city at a time. Our board and donors will be guided by appreciative inquiry, supplemented by action research and indigenous empowerment to solicit and receive funds and resources needed for these projects.



Partners of Mission Africa LIWOCARE and Caring Hearts International stationed in Africa will supervise projects and make sure the work is done. They will report to the board of Mission Africa on a constant basis.



Mission Africa teams will go to Africa twice yearly to monitor and evaluate the progress of individual projects



Justification


The main justification for this project is as they say that the world has become a global village. In the Seattle area of Washington State, the Igbos of South-eastern Nigeria constitutes a sizeable proportion of the population. There are also a sizeable number of other ethnic groups from Nigeria. There are also immigrants from other parts of Africa. All these migrations is in a bid to find better life and help for those left behind in Africa.



Mission Africa has a mandate to find ways to improve and sustain the standard of lives in Africa and restore a sense of dignity and pride to people who have no means of escaping the hard life among the poor there. This will entail the support of all local and international philanthropic individuals and organizations. To achieve our objectives, there has to be synergy between all peoples working on the projects.



Through these projects, Mission Africa will provide a forum for people to exchange and learn some of the cultures, values and behavioural patterns of those they may be working with in future. It will also be a forum for people to exchange and learn about such values as tolerance, respect and recognition of differences.





_____________________________________________________________________

Youth Vocational Centre



Open to all youth ages 12 21 years who desire to learn a vocation or a trade.

Will offer training and apprenticeship programs on the following trades:

Carpentry, Plumbing, Dress making, Hair braiding, Hair dressing, Electricians, Fashion designing, Barbing, Shoe making, computer skills and much more.



The Centre will also house lots of recreational games for the youth such as: Table tennis equipment, Pool table, Basket ball court, Volley ball court, Cyber Café etc. These will all generate funds.



The 2nd floor will house a big hall for rent by the public for weddings and other occasions to generate funds for sustainability.

____________________________________________________________________________


Global Mission House



Two buildings of 8 (3 bedrooms, 3 baths) apartment complexes to house Missionaries that visit that part of Nigeria year round.



Global Mission House will also serve as a retreat centre for Pastors, and church leaders at a minimal cost. These kind of facilities are lacking in the eastern part of Nigeria.



Mission Africa teams will use the mission house whenever they visit Nigeria. It will save lots of money on hotel bills. Modern amenities will be included for certain level of relaxation and comfort. It will be exclusive for Christians and will also generate funds.



____________________________________________________________________________




2 Health/Women Clinics - # 1 (Building already in progress)



v This project is designed to alleviate the health care crisis in Africa, one clinic at a time.

v Addressing the HIV/AIDS crisis through a health care and educational framework.

v Assisting women's reproductive health issues.

v Providing quality health care on a sliding-fee scale.

v Distributing affordable and unadulterated medicine.



____________________________________________________________________________



FINANCIAL SUPPORT


The Mission Africa budget amount would come from individuals, business and charitable organizations making donations to support Mission Africa projects


SELF-SUSTAINABILITY


The Youth Centre and Global Mission House will bring in funds to sustain themselves. Graduates from the Youth Centres would be supported through micro loans which will be paid back with minimal interest. That too will be a means of generating funds. The orphanage would also bring in funds through local and international adoptions fees.




OUR FUTURE

The future for Mission Africa is to engage in educational and cultural exchanges between participants in the US and the various peoples of African countries. This is more so now that there is a major growth in private universities and civil society initiatives. We may subject to availability of resources, produce cross-cultural educational materials for use both in Africa and the US.



Mission Africa mandate is an vision whose time has come. If we have to build an inclusive world where basic needs are met for children and desperate families globally, then, you have to support Mission Africa. This project will signify your contribution towards alleviating poverty world wide. Our mandate has become imperative because the world seems set on a part of prejudice, hate, intolerance and self-centeredness. That is not the way for a world that should be home to all. We look forward to your support for Mission Africa; you will be saving lives, one child at a time, one family at a time, one village at a time.
