Richard Sipe was sentenced in Dec. 2003 to 60 years for a non violent first time drug offense, an additional 10 for a legal gun at a different address and one year for failure to affix a tax stamp to the drugs, for a total of 71 years in Oklahoma. His time makes him eligeable for parole when he is 104. His co-defendant served 10 months on the same charges without testifying against him!!!! We are asking that Richard Sipe's sentence be commuted to time served, eight years now. In researching other cases with the same charge the time given ranges from a suspended sentence to 3. 5 years, not 71. Richard was a small business owner in the construction field prior to incarceration, employing a crew of up to eight in his framing business. All Richard wants to do now is get back to his family and to work, contributing to society, building homes for people. Investigation Discovery filmed a one hour documentary on the lives of Richard and his fiance from 34 years ago, Juli. The series "Prison Wives" began airing in the UK starting in Jan. 2010 and in the US starting on Valentines Day, Feb. 14, 2010. The International audience continues to expland. We have recieved nothing but support from everyone who has viewed our episode and researched Ric's case.In October we learned that we have a Commutation hearing with the Pardon and Parole Board in early December 2010. We have the support of Oklahoma Senator Constance Johnson amongst many others. Thanks so much for your support!!!!!!
We the undersigned respectfully ask you to carefully look at Richard Sipe #464566 and commute his sentence, his drug conviction resulting from his arrest in November of 2002, for a first time non violent offender from a total of 71 years at 85% to time served, revoke the $50,000 fine and parole him to Washington State where his fiance of 33 years awaits him with other family members and where he has job offers. Richard Sipe has shown himself to be a model inmate. He has taken his recovery from drug addiction seriously and is ready to take his place back into society as a productive member pursuing his craft as a precision house framer. Prior to conviction he was a proud owner of a framing company that built many quality homes around Tulsa. His attempt to fulfill the needs of his clients during a housing boom led to the use of preformance enhancing drugs that ultimately used him, led to his addiction. He has never denied his need for help. Family flew to his aid in 2002, the year of his arrest, but could not find help for him. Incarceration saved him from his addiction. For that he is grateful. As a non violent offender who has always been cooperative we respectfully ask that you commute his sentence and let this man go free.Thank you for your time and attention to this letter and petition.
