Artist EnikOne met Jack a couple of days ago. Here is his report...

You don't know Jack! Neither did I, till I kept driving by & seeing this flashing sign "NO WAR" off the 5 freeway. I just wanted to get a up close pic. As I was getting closer this guy comes out of the dark. After some conversation he tells me his name is "Jack" has been arrested 54 times & was sentenced to 7 years in federal prison denouncing the Iraq war and Bush on ham radio. He's in his early 80's & I have a feeling he's not going to stop."

Joseph Trigilio, executive director of the Loyola Project for the Innocent, says he doesn’t know why it’s taken the attorney general so long to start reviewing cases.
