| 451 | daren hill | Jim Gordon--superb drummer--listened to him for years. Let him be paroled. He's served his time. |
| 452 | Roy Marshall Guy | I hope that each Parole Board member will listen closely to their hearts on the day of the hearing,because I,m asking God to soften their hearts and grant Jim Gordon pardon that I sincerly believe he deserves. In the 60,s, I was backing up Jim Gordon,s music on my drums. I kind of feel like I know him because I played to songs for so long that he sessioned on. |

| 464 | Anonymous | Like many, I knew Jim in the '70s, while I was doing undergroud radio and playing a lot of the music he recorded. I was at several of the sessions and gigs he played and shared air more than once in the same rooms before & after concerts. I had heard the bottom was falling out for Jim and stunned when I read of his horrendous crime. The guy I knew couldn't have done that. I would love to see Jim live a free life, but only if his physicians truly feel he can cope. He's been institutionalized for a very long time. If freedom is what he wants and his doctors truly feel he is of no danger to his remaining family, his brother, et al, then I think a fair hearing and real consideration are in order. |
| 465 | Scott Johnson | Good Luck! |
| 466 | Michael Wolf | It is time to show mercy. |
| 467 | terry sullivan | good luck |
| 468 | Harry Marks | I haven't seen Jim for 25 years, but I worked with him many times. Besides being the greatest drummer I'd ever heard - he was one of the kindest people I'd ever met. Everyone deserves a second chance. |

Good luck with your hearing. Who know's, maybe if you are granted release you'll be able to get back into the game and jam some good beats! Best of luck to you! |
| 477 | Anonymous | Best of luck Mr. Gordon, your work has been a great blessing to my life. I pray for your good health and a quick release. |

| 479 | Len Fagan | Back in the 70's, I always found Jim to be a humble, soft-spoken and caring man, with unequaled talent. Please give him another chance to prove his worth to society. He has many people who admire and love him. Good luck, Jim! |

| 483 | James Thompson | To whom it may concern: I remember reading about Jim Gordon in the Philadelphia paper back in 1982. In fact, I still carry the clipping with me through life's journey. The crime was a terrible one and his mother can't weigh in on the issue. However, I have always thought that Mr. Gordon would never have done such a thing if he had been in his right mind. One need only consider the sheer maginitude of beauty and genius he has contributed to the world of music and the great number of dedicated friends he has who have stood by him in the darkest of times. Clearly his crime was an anomaly. It seems reasonable to me to believe that 25+ years of incarceration have lifted the fog from his heart and mind that enabled him to act so atrociously all those years ago. So many of us who used drugs in those days did terrible things but have straightened out and are flying right. We all may not have ended up in jail but we've all enjoyed a second chance to be free and to contribute. Please consider giving Jim Gordon a second chance. Thank you, Jamie Thompson, www.jamiethompson.net |
| 484 | Tony Gallucci | Mental illness should never be criminalized. It must be helped, as should any illness. Certainly Jim should have the help he needs, not locked up with truly criminal, vicious minds. Perhaps it is not too late for healing to happen. As a truly great musician, perhaps he can start on a road to healing by returning to his music, under supervision of course. Thank you. |

| 486 | Bruce Hauser | Please release Jim Gordon on parole. Please stipulate that a condition of his parole be that he continue to take medication to manage his schizophrenia. Thank You |

| 488 | Roger Schultz | To Whom It May Concern:
As a health care provider I have seen the dark side of mental illness. If Mr Gordons condition is considered mentally stable by medical review, then the right and only thing to do is release him and allow him to finish the rest of his years as a functiong free person.

| 489 | Anonymous | I think this man's mother, had she not been killed by a mental illness which her son could not control, would have died of grief by the way her son has been treated. The system has failed him and it is time to make it right. He has a valuable gift and society is being deprived of it due to his mistreatment. What if if this was your son? Let him out in the name of all that is right and decent. Thank you. |
| 490 | matt cadenelli | one of the greatest drummers of all time. inspires me still every day. may his mind be at peace and his body free for the rest of his days. |
| 491 | Karl Morgan | What a tragedy that such a beautiful talent should be punished for so long for his crime, all the circumstances of which indicate that he was acting under the influence of a severe mental illness. California, please show some clemency to this great musician and man, who has surely already suffered punishments enough. |

| 493 | Michael Eidman | Jim's solo during the live version of "Let it Rain" is the only extended drum solo that I actually look forward to listening to, time and again. |
| 494 | Dave Thomas | Please consider giving Jim another chance! |
