4. i think if i was him

i'd want to go anywhere but Alabama. but for him, i'm sure, it's home, and he wants to go home.
i went and donated to the completion of the documentary being done about him: http://www.documentary.org/film/atticus-v-architect

i had donated previously to the gofundme page, but it's been discontinued and they now have IDA membership and can fundraise through the International Documentary Association.

5. Gladl he's getting out, but still a bit disappointed he was not granted a pardon.

Without a law license, he cannot go back to work in his former profession.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the pardon/don't pardon discussions...
