Russell “King Peaceful” Kilfoil was sentenced to 15 years today in the Middle District of North Carolina. The Judge shaved off some years from the US Attorney’s maximum recommendation. Kilfoil received less than the recommended time due to his own efforts and life experiences. Though the Feds were able to place Kilfoil in a leadership role of the NC ALKQN, for the purpose of gaining a stiffer conviction, and to further demonize Kilfoil and the NC ALKQN, on the actions of others, we hope that Kilfoil feels that even though 15 years is a long time the feds did not take his life.
A slightly more colorful report of today’s sentencing can be read on the Yes Weekly blog, http://yesweeklyblog.blogspot.com/
Someone will do what the need to do in order to improve their own lives, but only if that improvement does not come at the expense of another. Peaceful is a descent person with strong character. There is a difference in wanting to stand alone and just walking away. The law and participants tend to confuse the two.
Kilfoil’s new address will be posted as soon as he is transferred to a federal facility.
King Jay has finally been cycled out of the various county and regional jails and into a federal correctional institution.
Jay is now imprisoned in FCI Petersburg Medium. FCI Petersburg is a medium security institution and is part of the Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg. FCC Petersburg which contains minimum, low, and medium security institutions, when writing to Jay be sure to include Medium in the address and his registration number.

It is with a heavy heart that we are preparing for the upcoming sentencing date next week, *Wednesday, August 14th, at 9am at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Winston Salem*, for our friends and comrades King J (Jorge Cornell), King Peaceful (Russell (Jonathan Hernandez) Kilfoil), and Ernesto Wilson. The courts have continually pushed back this date, and even though it’s going to be really hard, all of the guys are ready to move on with the next phase of their fight in the appeals process and get out of county jail where they have no outside access, extremely limited resources and constantly changing visitation privileges.
The support community around the Kings and King J in particular is asking for your help as we prepare for next Wednesday. Here are some concrete ways J, his family, and friends are asking you to contribute:
1. Jorge’s attorney has asked that anyone who would like to submit a letter on Jorge’s behalf do so ASAP so that he can submit them this week to the court. If you have known J in any capacity and have a story or experience you could share PLEASE try to write a letter and send it ASAP to:
Michael Patrick
312 W. Franklin St. PO Box 16848
Chapel Hill, NC 27516
or by Fax: 919-869-1348
Please DO NOT mention your ideas about Jorge’s guilt or innocence or your personal critique of the “criminal justice system.”
2. PACK THE COURTROOM! *US District Court, 251 N. Main Street Winston-Salem, NC 27101*, lots of downtown parking available. Organize a carpool from your town or neighborhood to downtown Winston Salem on the morning of Wednesday, August 14th. Bring a valid photo ID, and do not bring your cell phone or any food into the building.
3. If you have been close to J for a while, please consider being willing to say a few sentences (testifying) in front of the Judge on Wednesday. This can feel scary but others will be there who will be doing it and can offer support during the day.
4. Please forward this far and wide!
with appreciation for your time and energy & with undying rage at the society that imprisons us. -ALKQN Support
