"Note from Mac" (11/24/2011)

I want to thank all my friends and those who have read this web site for their thoughts and prayers. This is the best news I have had out of this legal system in 25 years. When we get a hearing date, we will post it here so everyone knowws. THEN, when a ruling on it happens, we will post that, so please keep checking in to the site. Leave me a note if you'd like and I will get it via Jennifer, who runs the site. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Cristmas. Love, Mac.

!!BREAKING NEWS!!

As of November 15th, 2011 the Alaska Superior Court finds that Donald McDonald has made a sufficient showing of diligence in bringing his application for post-conviction relief! This means that they have finally accepted the always crystal clear evidence that Mac was denied his right to testify at HIS murder trial, therefore post-conviction relief is now open to him. Hopfully now leaps rather then steps can be made towards him getting a new trial and closer to his much diserved and over due FREEDOM!!

Donald "Mac" McDonald has been imprisoned in Seward Alaska's Spring Creek correctional facility for nearly 25 years for a crime he did NOT commit. I myself and many many others completely believe his innocence to be true, and I am sure once you have read over some of the information posted to this site you will too. With this site we hope that we can gain supporters for Mac and sway an overturn verdict for him in the future at his surely upcoming appeal. Soon there will be a page where current and future supporters can see how they can help in this goal. Please look around the Free Mac Project website and view some of the materials I have posted that support Mac's undeniable innocence. Then when you have decided to join us in our quest for Mac's freedom go on and stop by the Blog page and leave us a little note if you like, or even send us an encouraging email to pass on to Mac. We thank you in advance for taking the time to look at our site, and thank you again for supporting Mac!

How Mac passes his time at SCCC, a testiment to his true self. 

While in prison, Mac has always worked a job to keep busy and lifted weights to stay healthy. At 50 years old Mac bench pressed 505 lbs and has always been considered on of the strongest men on the yard. Mac has worked as mod cleanup man, ran the club that was organized by the Hobby Shop. At the same time worked as the Institutional Computer Operator for the Job Service Department. For ten years Mac worked in the Furniture Factory at SCCC, holding the title of Computer Designer for the furniture programs in the Education Department for two years. and now has worked as Computer Operator in the Kitchen Food Department, in charge of payroll, inventory, and invoicing. Mac's attitude and personality are proven by the fact that he has never once been found guilty of any disciplinary write-up, which is in itself almost an impossibility at SCCC. Another proof of just who Mac is, is shown by the picture of himself and his 16 year old cellmate, James Trueblood. James was holding a gun in his home while watching television with no drugs, alcohol, games or stupidity involved. The gun accidentally went off killing James's best friend. The state of Alaska has seen James guilty of Manslaughter sentencing him to three and a half years for this “crime?”, when two months after James was sentenced a professional Fireman of Anchorage had his gun accidentally go off killing his co-worker. This case of course was deemed an “accident,” while James was “guilty” of a crime. James was 16 years old when his “crime” happened, and looked as you can see in the picture as though he might be 14 years of age. Where could the state possibly put this youngster to do three and a half years of prison time considering the risks someone so young could suffer in a prison environment? Apparently Mac is well known in Alaska because the heads of the Department of Corrections had special paperwork drawn up and signed by all the needed parties so that James could be sent to SCCC, a maximum security prison, for the sole purpose of being put into Mac's cell so that James could be kept safe and protected by him. This was done before James was even sentenced, and an unheard of decision. The fact of all this is, is that James is safe with Mac as his mentor and cellmate. The Alaska State Department of Corrections putting James there with Mac shows that they themselves know what kind of person Mac is, a good, honest, caring role model of a man. Since they obviously see him as the type of person that would care for a 16 year old after so much hard prison time that has clearly never changed who he was when he was put there, don't you think they should give him the freedom that he obviously dissevers and that was wrongfully taken from him?
