Unjust-Unfair
 

Charles Izac is a man, although he made some dreadful mistakes in the past, has been living his life as a responsible, law-abiding citizen for over 25 years. He has been faithful to God, his wife and family and has made a conscientious effort to serve the community in which he lives.  He has assisted neighbors with landscaping projects, was involved in an "adopt a highway" program and has assisted a nearby church with it's ministry.

Mr. Izac has been known by some in the federal court system as an armed career criminal. This is only because of records that are on file, some of which are not even true.  Because he had committed a crime back in 1979, a non-violent crime, those in authority chose to railroad him by creating other crimes which he did not commit. Because of this he is not able to obtain a firearm. He knew this, but when an armed neighbor threatened to burn down his house and destroy everything he and his wife had, being the only person at home, he really had no choice but to retrieve his wife's firearm in order to diffuse what would other wise have been a devastating situation.

He now faces a fifteen year prison sentence and potentially a life sentence. Keep in mind that this was only an act of self defense and no harm was ever intended by him towards his neighbor.  Many agree that this is a very serious miscarriage of justice and that Mr. Izac did nothing to warrant a lengthy sentence. His lifestyle is anything but one of someone that is considered to be an armed career criminal. Anyone who agrees should act in whatever way possible: this includes contacting public officials, writing to the newspaper and general spreading the word that the "three strikes" statute includes too many people like Mr. Izac who are attempting to live a serene, law-abiding lifestyle.

Pray that God will enlighten not only you but the court system as to what can be done to return this wonderful man to his loving family and the community which he serves.

Thank you

Ann Izac
