Whereas Gerald Allen DeLemus is incarcerated for conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, 18 U.S.C. section 371 and interstate travel in aid of extortion, 18 U.S.C. section 1952; and
Whereas the persons actually accused of the committing the offense against the United States, and conspiring to do so have been found not guilty; and
Whereas Mr. DeLemus signed the plea agreement for the sole purpose of protecting a second individual stricken with cancer from being subpoenaed or indicted; and
Whereas a person cannot be guilty of conspiring with other individuals who have been found not guilty of conspiring; and
Whereas a person cannot be guilty of aiding and extortion by other individuals who have been found not guilty of committing extortion, or the charges have been dismissed with prejudice; and
Whereas Gerald Allen DeLemus was denied the opportunity to change his plea and obtain a trial by jury as guaranteed Article VI of the Constitution for the United States of America; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the New Hampshire general court humbly requests that Donald J.
