RE: STATE OF FLORIDA v. IAN DECO LIGHTBOURNE,Case No.SC07-1499; Lower
COU~
NO.1981-170-CR-A41
Dear Mr. Chm&us,
1have attempted to contactyou today and left two messages.,I am writing pursuant to the
Florida Supreme Court's order denying Petitioner's Petition for Review of Non-Final Order and
the circuit court's order granting Mr. Lightbome's request for counsel to view the execution
chamber and witness a walk-through. Nile J: have filed a motion for an immediate hearing on
this matterIJudge Angel, as you may how, is on vacation until August 28,2007. Therefore,I
write to attempt to work out someof the details for viewing the chamber and witnessing a walk-
through prior to commencingthe final hearing in the above captioned matter on that date.
As I have previously indicabd, counsel for Mr. Lightbourne is available to view the chamber
andlor witness a walk-throughat anytime before expiration of the relinquishment period as set
forth by the Florida Supreme Court, including Wednesday, August 22,2007, should a walk-
through be scheduled for that date. Further, while my preference is for an expert to view the
chamberand witnessa walk-through, my expert is not available to do so based onthe time
~onvtraintsin place. Therefore, those attending will include only Mr. Lightbourne's legal em:
myself, Mr. Dupree, Ms. Eckert, Ms. Nixon and Ms. Kravath.
If you ~ouldplease let me knowwhenwdk-through's are currently scheduled, we may hable to
work out the details in order to expedite this matter.Thank you in advance for your cooperation
and assistance.
,/I
