Today is the start of Ryan Ferguson's seventh year in prison for a crime he did not commit
===============================
Schedule :
The state has 30 days to respond to Ryan's brief dated February 19, 2010.
State's Response due March 19.

Ryan's attorney will then have 14 days to respond to the State.
Next the Western District Court of Appeals will schedule Oral Arguments.

We are guessing this might be set for June or July.

Thanks
Bill and Leslie Ferguson

Its sad to say but once a person is in the judicial system, it is damn near impossible to get them out. The lawyers and judges determine our fate and that frightens the hell out of me, especially with the overzealous prosecutors like Mr. Crane. There were red flags all over this case and yet it went on. Mr. Crane knew the chances of the appeals process--he counted on it. I hope Bill Ferguson proves him wrong--and RYAN WALKS FREE! I hope all involved for prosecuting and helping with the police investigation are fired for lack of competence and abuse of power. They should be accountable for the wrongful prosecution and incarceration of Ryan Ferguson.

I have just watched the 48 hours episode involving Ryan and all I could think the entire time was how blatantly innocent he was. Words cannot express how shocked and appalled I was to see the verdict. I immediately typed in Ryan Ferguson to my internet browser expecting to see various pages explaining an updated review of the trial and his innocence. Again I cannot explain how utterly shocked and disgusted I was in the justice system after reading that this obvious wrong conviction has still not been reversed. I sincerely send my best wishes to the family. FREE RYAN

I can't wait until Ryan comes home and he can put this all behind him. Good things are coming, Fergusons. It won't be long before this is all a distant memory... Much Love, Megan

Blind Freddy can see that Ryan and possibly the other boy are innocent. The courts, police and laywers are obviously not intested in justice or truth. It angers me that innocent people are locked up for crimes that they haven't committed and the guilty are let free. (Edgar Smith example). The legal system is a joke. It's frightening that such incompetent people can determine someones fate. FREE RYAN FERGUSON NOW.

Ryan and family, this conviction is one of the biggest travesties of justice I have ever seen. I am avid 48 hours series watcher, and this dream killer still haunts me. I am stunned that people who have the power to act, don't Know, people around the country are watching your case to make sure a wrong get righted!

To Ryan, hang in there Bud, I am sorry you lost eight years of your life over this, but I see light at the end of the tunnel, finally. I think you on your way to a reversal. Good luck! Mike R mhr1@localnet.com

I have read the court transcripts and everything else I can fnd about this case. It is not clear to me that Mr. Erickson was or was not interviewed by police out of site of cameras, stenographers, or tape machines. I think he probably was early on. We should remember too that the police went to him he did not go to them. At the point he was arrested he had made enough remarks about the killing to require explanation. It is reasonable to assume he was told that his best and most importantly his easiest out was to plead, and be out in 12 years (I know its 25 officially...). Otherwise he would have to face a trial where the preponderance of evidence would be his own remarks made to his friends, and the public humiliation of having to say he was just making it all up. This does not sound very convincing but it happens all the time. Since a plea would not in itself help him much, he also needed to help the police get a bigger fish; and it was this that got him the low jail time (comparatively). I think this scenario explains his confession and answers the question 'why would he plead guilty to something he did not do?'

We know after this motivation was in place, all of the inconsistancies that flow; especially his continued coaching, 9 month review of the evidence, and thus oppertunities to get his story straight.

I am so happy to hear you have finally received some good news. It sounds like things are finally going in the right direction for all of you. Justice will be served. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Though I am not privy to all the details or evidence in this case, I say the prosecutor and the police have a murderer walking free to strike again. Ryan Ferguson is doing time for someone else`s crime! I think it should be a crime that the Fergusons should have to pay an ungodly amount of money to defend their son`s innocence, when if they had of properly investigated that could have seen through Chuck`s "fantasy". Free Ryan Ferguson! There is no justice while an innocent man sits in prison and a murderer walks free!

Hi, my name is Crystal Peeples and I am a college student in Kansas City,Mo. My pschology class watched a 48 hours series on Ryan's case this last week. We were very devastated at the outcome. We are now studying false memory and know for a fact that this stuff does happen. I believe with all my heart that Ryan is innocent and pray that one day he will be set free. My prayers and thoughts are with him and his family.
