Dear Mr. President:
We, the undersigned, appeal to you to please pardon Mr. Jonathan Pollard who is currently serving his 25th year of a life sentence even though the median sentence for the offense he was indicted for is 2 to 4 years.
Jonathan Pollard never had a trial. He entered into a plea agreement, which spared both the U.S. and Israeli governments a long, difficult, expensive and potentially embarrassing trial. Jonathan Pollard fulfilled his end of the plea agreement, cooperating fully with the prosecution.
It is unjust that Pollard has been punished much more severely than all others who committed similar offenses on behalf of other US allies.
We, therefore, strongly urge you to commute Jonathan Pollard's sentence to time-served.
