Dear United States Attorney for Massachusetts Carmen Ortiz:

Alfred Trenkler has been incarcerated in federal prison for nearly 25 years for a crime he did not commit.

Since his conviction in 1993, the entirely circumstantial evidence that originally implicated him has been roundly discredited. Strict post-conviction statute of limitations periods have demanded immediate filings, meaning that there has been no opportunity to view the evidentiary landscape as a whole. Viewed as a whole, Trenkler's innocence is undeniable.

Trenkler sits in federal prison despite the absence of any credible evidence that he actually committed the crime.

We urge you to do everything in your power to bring about a new trial for Alfred Trenkler.
