VICTORY FOR SHERMAN AUSTIN -- DA WILL NOT FILE CHARGES
***ALL ASPECTS OF THE SHERMAN MARTIN AUSTIN CASE HAVE BEEN REJECTED BY THE LA COUNTY DA'S OFFICE***


Sherman Austin's attorney, William Paparian, received a voice mail message from Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Fairtlough that stated: 

It is my understanding that all aspects of the 
Sherman Martin Austin case have been 
rejected by the LA County DA's Office" 


THANK YOU BILL PAPARIAN FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION. A BIG THANK YOU TO MY SON (SHERMAN’S BROTHER) WHO PROVIDED THE FUNDS TO FIGHT THIS CASE. 


Sherman’s case is NOT over...We are still working on getting back the data. 

I am confident that the future brings restitution for Sherman Austin. The U.S. GOVERNMENT demonized Sherman and used threats and coercion to convince him to sign a plea for a crime that he DID NOT COMMIT! 


Sherman will be speaking on Nov. 18, 2004 at the Southwestern College of Law in Los Angeles.
