My experiences communicating with Bill Wells are relevant to this. Over a year ago, I wrote to the prison inquiring about some grievances which Bill had. I know that the appropriate people received this, because Bill said he'd been told about the inquiry and had given permission to reply. I never got any reply.

Bill reports that he's been pursuing efforts for a long time to get his sentence vacated, based on his claim that his Public Defender shafted him in plea bargaining, getting him to plead guilty to an offense he wasn't guilty of given the accepted facts. The court keeps granting the government delay after delay.

Whether or not the government is in the right, these constant delays are a clear sign that it doesn't care.
