   Comments: We appreciate Barry and Rhonda's fight for they're freedom. We need more people in our communities to be similar; to not give up and continue fighting beyond the adveristy for what is right. Blessings to the Massey family.

    Comments: No 13-year old person should be held accountable as an adult who has reached the age of majority. Beyond that, Barry Massey has grown to be a good and decent man and should be home with his family.

    Comments: Barry Massey is a genuinely friendly, personable young man who has created for himself the role to speak out as a dynamic speaker to "Kids at Risk", a Program that is supported by our local Communities to address the young people who can be inspired by a man to improve their Education and look for ways to help their Community. Massey has taken Leadership in his own Community to provide a positive environment connecting such as Kwanzaa and BPC to bring higher awareness to the other men in making a difference for their Family, their Community, and in Life. Barry Massey would be an asset to the Greater Seattle Area in addressing young adults current problems within our Communities and inspire them to empower their lives. I have personally know Mr. Massey since 1996 while participating in the University of Washington's Program, Prison Awareness Program and contributed as a Sponsor for the next seven years.

    Comments: Since the Washington State Clemency board has decided to let the actions of others influence their decision in the past clemency hearing, I think that facts need to be properly presented and not let stereotypes and prejudices control the life of an individual who has more than paid his debt to society. There have been numerous other people convicted of worse crimes than this one and have been given substantially less sentences, we need to be reminded and uphold the fact that the justice system is supposed to be applied equally to all regardless of background or ethnicity.

    Name: Jamie Mayerfeld on Jan 11, 2011

    Comments: Barry was only 13 when the murder occurred, and there are reasons to think that his co-defendant actually planned and committed the murder. Under these circumstances, it is unjust to make him stay in prison until his death. Please reduce Barry Massey's sentence to 25 years.

    Comments: No thirteen year old child who has not even finished developing mentally deserves to be in prison for the rest of their life. What "normal" person is the same at 37 then when they were 13? Locking some one up and forgetting about them is not the solution.

    Name: John Barelli on Jan 11, 2011

    Comments: A sentence of life without the possibility of parole says that we have given up on the possibility of that particular person ever becoming a human being. That sentence given to a 13 year old boy is never appropriate. At the very least, it should be commuted to allow for parole, allowing a parole board to judge whether he is still a danger to society.

    Comments: As an Washington State attorney who used to practice in public defense and currently practices disability rights law, I fully support the reduction in Mr. Massey's sentence. This case exemplifies the problem of charging children with developmental disabilities as adults.

    Comments: Sentencing youths to JLWOP is a slow death. Let's get on board with the evolving standard of decency and review these kids for parole if they have earned it. Brain research questions their culpability as juveniles. Accountability is not in question...JLWOP is. Let's talk about redemption of our youth.

    Name: Evelyn Shephard on Jan 12, 2011

    Comments: I fully support the rationale of this request for mercy and clemency for Barry Massey on the basis of the life he has led as a prisoner; for example, being dedicated to helping juveniles at risk see the consequences of their choices and the path they take.. And on the basis of knowledge about juveniles that has changed the way sentencing is done now.

    Comments: I think Barry has paid long enough for hanging around with someone he later realized he would have been better off to not be around & who was likely the one who actually planned & committed the crime rather than Barry. I think the fact that Barry has made the best of his situation by learning all he could about improving his life and helping other "at risk" youth not make the same mistake he did is admirable and shows a true measure of the kind of man Barry has become in spite of being in prison all these years. He is an amazing person and dserves the chance to have his freedom restored to him.
