KING BROTHERS' CANDLELIGHT VIGIL

PENSACOLA, FL - October 24, 2002 /PRnetwire.com/ - Citizens seeking justice for Alex and Derek King are gathering weekly in Pensacola for a Candlelight Vigil. This vigil will continue for the next several Fridays in our quest to seek justice for the King brothers and all of Florida's children. Please attend if you can. For those of you who cannot attend, please remember Alex and Derek in your prayers at that time.

When:
Fridays starting on October 25 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Where:
190 Governmental Center, Pensacola, Florida

Background:
Concerned citizens and individuals from around the world remain focused in their efforts to seek reform in the Florida judicial system. The rally held the morning of the hearing, in which Judge Frank Bell threw out the convictions of Derek and Alex, was a success. Several people from around the country converged on the courthouse in Pensacola to stand up for justice in Florida courts.

Support groups for Alex and Derek began almost immediately on Internet chat groups and bulletin boards that evolved into a worldwide coalition. Its main goal is to bring justice to the King Brothers and a sense of what is right and proper back to the people of Florida and the country. All those hard working people have been working 24/7 for these efforts.

The coalition involvement has resulted in a massive number of e-mails, and letters to the governor, legislators, and judges to protest this injustice. This coalition will not stop until justice is reached in the King Brothers case and Alex and Derek are released from the adult jail facility where they are being held.
