Thank you for the messages of support

To everyone that has sent messages of support by either email or phone - many thanks for your kind words!
Andrew is travelling well and is bouyed by the growing number of people who believe in his innocence and
are angered and incredulous by the treatment of him and his family by the authorities.

We have high hopes for the investigation review being conducted by U.K. forensics professor David Barclay, reportedly to be announced in the next few weeks, and for the corruption and crime commission inquiry,
which should hold public hearings in july.

Malcolm McCusker, Jamie Edelman and Colleen Egan are jointly writing a book on the case for
ABC books and Michael Muntz, the maker of "Saving Andrew Mallard", has initial funding for a sequel.

We hope that education and response from people such as yourself will
force the authorities to take a long, hard look at their roles in this outrageous case.
Iif you'd like to communicate your feelings on the issue to the people in power,

Prayers are with you guys - most importantly is for you to find forgivness for 'them' - for your sake as God will deal with them (and me) at the appropriate time.

Hello,
It is so nice to hear that Mr. Mallard is doing well. I am truly sorry that this happened to him. I don't think anyone could possibly comprehend how difficult it would have been for Mr. Mallard - more than a decade in jail for a crime I do not think anyone really believes he committed. Anyone, other than Button, Beamish, Christie, the Mickelbergs and who knows how many others that is. I am sorry for the Lawrence family as well - how dreadful for them to have had whatever closure they had simply ripped away. So damaging for all involved.

All of WA should feel grateful for the legal/media team that apparently made this possible. When one works to fight or reduce injustice, one fights for all of mankind. I very much look forward to the book and wonder when it will be finished. I thought I was told Ms. Egan was taking a couple of months off, but surely it could not be done until after the July hearings.

The people of WA should also feel grateful for such a fine example of dignity and grace that has been demonstrated by all of the Mallard family. I take my hat off to all of you.

I would be very interested if you would consider posting where the documentary might be able to be purchased from. ABC and Artemis did not seem to know. I would also be interested in whether Mr. Mallard's matter appeared in the Royal Commission Report. I read all of it, except for the boring parts about canabis growers, and do not remember it being referenced at all.

Please keep well and thank you again for the demonstration of courage and perseverance.
