| 51 | Wieland De Hoon | Impressive story, Susan should be put on life probation, end of story. In Europe a firsttimer probably doesn't serve a prison term for this. |
| 52 | Anonymous | LET HER GO NOW......... |
| 53 | Anonymous | She needs to be with her children right now. This is not a time for legalism. |
| 54 | Anonymous | This is ridiculous!!! She should be let go immediately......... |
| 55 | Janis Pollard | I have never met Susan Lefevre and I know her "crime" was an illegal act, but this was an act against herself...if she had committed murder or some such act it would make sense and only be right to incarcerate her, but for a drug offense against her own person, this seems so shallow and vindictive. I am praying for the right decision. |
| 56 | Anonymous | When child molesters and rapist can go free and are DEFINITELY a threat to society, why after proving she can live a productive life in society can they not grant her a pardon. However, please note this is a very political climate right now and of course the politicians cannot appear they have any heart! |
| 57 | William Davis | I have already sent Email to the Gov or Mich asking for a Pardon and I hope that Helps Susan . |
| 58 | Anonymous | I grew up in Michigan at that time and it was tuff!!
She has Cleaned up her act.
Set her free!! |

| 60 | christina byrd | i think maybe she should have some kind of punishment cuz she did escape but i dont think putting her in prison will help,she has obviously changed, maybe some community service or probation,it was a drug related charge she didnt kill anyone although it would totally destroy her and her family if she was locked up.and she definitly deserves some kind of props for the way she did a total 180 with her life. |
| 61 | Melissa McPartlin | I hope there are judges out there with a little wisdom who suspend the rest of this woman's sentence.
You have a woman who has lived a decent life, an overburdened prison system and overburdened taxpayers out here trying to do our best to make ends meet.
Suspend her sentence and if she commits any more crimes-and she hasn't in twenty-three years- then have her serve the remainder of her sentence. |
| 62 | Dorothy Stinnett | If time and common sense and compassion for righting wrongs mean anything, Marie Walsh (Susan LeFevre) needs our attention and caring. She was a young 19 year old who with an older man was convicted and put in prison for an act she observed and did not fully understand the consequence for.and was overwhelmed by. She rehabilitated herself instead of asking society and taxpayers to foot that bill...she created a righteous, productive, and wholesome life for herself and husband and three children. If anything, she needs the compassion of law and society to accept her life as evidence of her sincerity and her honesty. Please consider commuting her sentence to time served as she has righted the wrong with her own life. |

| 67 | Brian Benson | Regarding Susan LeFevre, thank you for the opportunity to sign on for this just and worthy cause! |
| 68 | Lisa | she made a mistake and never shoud have been locked up in the first place! drug dealers and addicts should receive rehabilitation not prison the system is flawed!!! |
| 69 | Anonymous | I believe any time spent in prison would be a waste of tax payer’s money and could destroy her 15 year old son’s future. She has proven to be no longer a threat to society. Give her probation and have her serve community service. |
| 70 | Ryan McBrayer | |
| 71 | Eileen Shane | I recommend community service to help society versus incarceration which costs the tax payer money and doesn't help the individual contribute. |
| 72 | frank orlett | Please free Susan, she has payed for her mistake. |
| 73 | Colette Crow | |
| 74 | Michele Zamora | |
| 75 | Lisa Eisenman | Give her community service |
| 76 | Ida Breedveld | I hope that justice will be done and that Susan LeFevre (Marie Walsh) will be released immediately. She was arrested under false pretentions. |
| 77 | Andy | |
| 78 | Zoila Orlett | |
| 79 | Anonymous | She has managed to rehabilitate herself far more effectively than any penal system could have done.
Don't make her friends, family, her kids... pay for a mistake she made as a youth. |
| 80 | Malin Backlund | |
| 81 | Mary Hastings | I think it ridiculous to send her back, she obviously had rehabbed herself even before the sentencing. |

| 84 | Jen Longobardi | FREE HER!!!!!! and please visit the othe rpetition for her at Care2.com. |
| 85 | Peter Leyenaar | Please commute Susan's sentence to time served and returned her to her family |
| 86 | Erik | I am all for criminals serving time when they do a crime. However in this case I fail to see what good it does to put Susan back behind bars. We put people in prison to take them off the streets and to make society a better place. How is society a better place with Susan behind bars. Here is someone who society BENEFITED from and we want to put her back behind bars. What she did 30+ years ago was wrong. But here is someone who has clearly rehabilitated her life and putting her behind bars is silly and stupid. |
| 87 | Anonymous | There is something so completely wrong with our society. We have placed trust with those who should not be trusted (judges) and we make lifelongs criminals out of those who make mistakes. What are we teaching our children? |
| 88 | Aletta Byrne | |
| 89 | Paul Huebl | This woman is an example to anyone who has been in trouble. Yes, you can change for the better. This woman deserves compassion and a quick commutation. Her family needs her at home. |
| 90 | Anonymous | This woman has learned her lesson, has not continued a life of drug addiction and, should be set free. We've all done things when we were kids that we regret, she shouldn't have to continue to pay the price. |
| 91 | Bill Grandia | I am writing on behalf of Marie Walsh (formally Susan Lefevre).
Very careful consideration is in order in determining the fate of Marie Walsh, a loving wife, loving mother of 3, a conscientious philanthropist, a true friend to those who’ve had the privilege of knowing her and what’s she’s contributed to society. What is at stake here is a model citizen – one any family, friend or institution would be proud to be associated with.
Marie is a wonderful, compassionate, benevolent and respected family woman. A woman who not only helps society, but whom society should aspire to be. I have personally known Marie and her family for over 20 years. This woman, teamed with her husband, Alan Walsh are the apex of how our family culture should endeavor to be.
I’m not privy to knowing exactly what happened 32 years ago. Simply put, here’s what I do know…
I believe there was a flawed process that lead to “Susan’s” original sentence. Her sentence at age 19 was disproportional to a reflex actions of bad counsel, coercion due to family embarrassment and over zealous prosecution. Yes, “Susan” made a bad choice in getting involved with the wrong people. Yes, “Susan” was there with the person committing the actual crime. This tempered with the fact Susan was menacingly and disproportionally sentenced for the same term the co-defending drug dealer who actually committed the crime is why there should be strong and convincing doubt that “Susan” was even directly responsible for the crime. “Marie Walsh” is not a criminal. Marie is a superb, exemplary human being – undeserving of what has been dealt to her.
To whom the application for Clemency will be reviewed and decided upon, a formal revisit of the original arrest, conviction and circumstances involving the case is essential to lead to the factual and appropriate decision concerning Marie Walsh’s fate. I can only pray that the facts are re-opened in this case – as thoroughly and quickly as possible. I am confident that you will find doubt in Marie’s actual guilt in this case and anticipate her sentence commuted to nothing more than to return Marie Walsh back to her family where she belongs. Anything else is a perpetuation of injustice.
Consider the doubt and inequity of the original sentence. Any further miscarriage of Marie Walsh’s custody serves no purpose. Not for deterrence. Not for rehabilitation. Enough damage has been done to her family. Marie Walsh is needed by her family – now more than ever.
I stand by Marie Walsh, her husband Alan and their children. With the Walsh family intact, this world is a better place.

| 93 | Sylvia Berger | It will serve no purpose to incarcerate Susan Lefevre at this point in her live. She is a completely different person now, than she was 32 years ago. |
| 94 | Vincent J. Guerrero | |
| 95 | Anonymous | mandatory probation with time off for good behavior |
| 96 | Natasha Polanski | This woman lives a healthy suburban life raising a family and is a contributer to her society. Clearly 32 years later she is not the same women that was originally taken to prison. It would be a great injustice to punish her for what she has learned and moved on from. Grant her clemancy! |
