Application in Behalf of Anthony Bottom 77A4283 for
Clemency/Commutation of Sentence to Time Served and/or Parole to Warrant

David Paterson: Governor of the State of New York

I respectfully submit for your review and consideration this 
Application for Clemency/Commutation of Sentence to Time Served 
and/or Parole to Warrant in behalf of Anthony Bottom, 77A4283, a New 
York State prisoner. The information presented 
(<http://www.freejalil.com/parole2.html>http://www.freejalil.com/parole2.html) 
will allow you to see past \"the serious nature of the crime\" and 
allow you to assess the blatant reality that Mr. Bottom has achieved 
rehabilitation within the thirty-six (36) years he has been 
incarcerated. We also maintain that he is not a threat to society, 
and that he would be able to remain at liberty and lead a productive 
life once given the opportunity.

Mr. Bottom became eligible for parole in 2002, and has appeared 
before the NYS Division of Parole on 4 occasions, 2002, 2004, 2006 
and 2009. Each of the parole denials were subject to the previous 
Pataki administration policy to deny discretionary parole for 
prisoners convicted of a violent offense.

Under the Pataki administration, parole decisions had become a game 
of chance, and Executive Law 259i(2)(c)(a)(1) had been relegated to 
interpretation, subverting the legislative intent of the statute. Mr. 
Bottom meets all the requirements to be released on parole pursuant 
to the guidelines of Executive Law 295i(2)(c) and N.Y.C.R.R. 
8000.3(1), (2) and (3).

Furthermore, the U.S. Justice Department Bureau of Statistics has 
calculated an established means to diminish the probability of 
persons being released to recommit. Mr. Bottom fits the criteria of 
these statistics indicating that a person who has been in prison over 
ten years, received a 
<http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Clemency4Jalil/#>college 
education, participated in rehabilitation, and is over 35 years in 
age, with strong community and family support has less than 3% rate 
of recidivism.

I respectfully request your consideration in regards to Anthony 
Bottom, the person that he is, and has become through thirty-six 
years of incarceration.

Sincerely,
