CHAPEL'S DAY IN COURT (Finally!)

**UPDATE**

It's finally happening! I've waited to share this until I felt sure there could be no hiccups this time, but on Tuesday, March 31st at 9am—Michael Chapel will have his evidentiary Habeas hearing. THIS is his day in court we have been waiting for.

I spoke with Mike this morning and he is in good spirits and "cautiously optimistic".

A message from Mike to all who have supported him:

"This has been a long, long, long fight. It's been defeat after defeat after defeat and only when good people came along and decided to take a look at the injustice that was done in their own forms and formats that the truth began to be found out. And each and every individual in their own ways contributed to where we are today. And I would like to thank everybody, everyone who has helped, who has said this is a wrong, that needs to be right.

I believe that once we get to the hearing next week, that if this judge here, he follows the rule of law, it will be remedied some form or fashion. And I can return home and be with my, the only thing that matters is being with my family and nothing else. That's all this is about, is just getting this doors to be open and justice be served. And I'd like to thank everybody for all their love and support and prayers, of course. It's gonna happen, we're getting there."

On a personal note, THANK YOU to everyone who has supported this project, In the Land of Lies, and this cause. You are the reason Mike has this opportunity. In a matter of days, life will change for Mike Chapel one way or the other. Keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate what is hopefully the end of a very traumatic experience spanning more than 30 years. Stay tuned for updates.
