I've never been on the Dark Net, but I was told by some people to touch base here and maybe ask for those of us who ARE able to access it (or I should say - familiar with it) - I've posted this around the regular web, and sorry if I sound like an idiot, but if there are places online that this may gain some traction and exposure that you know of, please feel free to post this wherever - it is a petition for my friend serving a life sentence for LSD conspiracy (he was charged with conspiracy because he wasn't caught with any LSD)

Man could face life prison term in LSD scheme By DAVID HARPER World Staff Writer 4/16/2005
A New York man is facing the possibility of life in prison after being found guilty Friday in a northeastern Oklahoma LSD-distribution case.
A jury found Roderick "Rudd" Walker of Buffalo, N.Y., guilty of taking part in a conspiracy to distribute LSD and four counts of using a telephone to discuss dealing the drug.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Raley told the jury that evidence during the five-day trial showed that Walker was responsible for the distribution of about 16,500 dosage units of the drug beginning in the summer of 2003.
The jury, which deliberated for more than four hours, found that the conspiracy generated between 10 and 120 grams of the drug. Trial testimony indicated that one hit of LSD consists of 0.0049 grams.
Raley said after the verdict that the amount found by the jury, combined with Walker's previous record, means a life sentence is possible when U.S. Chief District Judge Claire Eagan announces punishment July 14.
Walker, 31, was indicted under seal by a federal grand jury June 10 in Tulsa.
Raley said Walker used to live in the Kansas City, Mo., area.
He said the evidence demonstrated that Walker was seeking another market in Oklahoma for LSD as well as Ecstasy and hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Walker's case became public last summer along with charges filed against five other people who were indicted as a result of the same investigation, which also dealt with other drugs.
The other defendants, all from Missouri, have all pleaded guilty since then to various charges.
