Pollard Appeal
Continued from preceding page
miscarriage of justice" in
Mr. Pollard's sentencing.
At the core of the appeal
was what was described as
the contradiction between
Mr. Pollard's plea bargain
and his receiving the har-
shest possible sentence.
In the oral arguments on
the case last September, Mr.
Pollard supporters were
cheered when Judge Silber-
man suggested, through his
questioning, that he ac-
cepted some of the claims
that there had been collu-
sion between the prosecution
and the sentencing judge.
But in the end, Judge
Silberman was evidently
swayed by the government's
argument that the terms of
the plea agreement were not
violated.
The Pollard family plans
an appeal to the Supreme
Court. But the high court
generally agrees to hear
only 1 percent of such ap-
peals, according to Mr. Der-
showitz.
Meanwhile, the Pollard
family and supporters will

FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1992
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
LOCAL NEWS
Friday night. The end of the week. -The beginning
of Shabbat. A time to relax, reflect and renew. And as much a part of
this tradition as the candles and the challah was knowing the weekly
Jewish News had also arrived.
It brought news about the community, the nation
and the world. Today, that tradition hasn't changed. In fact, it's gotten
better. Each week award-winning journalists combine the warmth of
community with world issues using candor and compassion to
strengthen Jewish identity and...tradition.
Keep the tradition alive. Give a Jewish News
subscription to a friend, a relative, as a special gift. If you don't
subscribe, (and you find yourself always reading someone else's copy)
maybe it's time to start your own tradition. The Jewish News. It's a
tradition worth keeping.

continue to build popular
pressure for clemency, both
within and outside the Jew-
ish community.
"Our push forward will
continue — whether it is
through continued legal ac-
tion or an appeal for the
commutation of Jonathan's
sentence has not yet been
determined," Carol Pollard,
the convict's sister, said in a
statement issued last week
on behalf of the family.
She said that she had
spoken to her brother by
telephone and that he asked
"that we express his disap-
pointment about the court's
ruling, along with his de-
termination to continue the
struggle for freedom.
"Yes, he is frustrated, but
still determined," she said,
adding: "He remains confi-
dent that in the end, justice
will be served."
Barring a successful ap-
peal or clemency, Mr.
Pollard will be up for parole
in 1997, though the sentenc-
ing judge has recommended
against any early release.
