Hello my Dear Friends and Family: I am truly blessed. I am so sorry that it’s taken me almost a week to sign on here. I have been shell shocked. Im going full force today. Set up a facebook account, twitter and email. Its difficult to express my gratitude to all, because words aren’t enough. I know that I wouldn’t be sitting here with my daughter if it weren’t for all of you and your strength. You all worked so hard for my release. I should say rescue. You not only rescued me, physically, but spiritually. I love you all!
I will post a lengthy update this evening

A positive place to share in the journey of bringing Mechele Linehan home.
About This Site
Free Mechele is run by friends and family of Mechele Linehan with occasional input from Mechele's husband, Colin. Mechele was convicted in October 2007 of conspiring to murder Kent Leppink. This conviction was overturned on appeal in February 2010, after she had served over 2 years in prison. Mechele is currently out on bail with heavy restrictions in Alaska, awaiting a second trial. We believe that this trial will prove her innocence, if the prosecution doesn't drop it before then due to lack of evidence.
Please be aware that this site is heavily moderated. Only positive sharing on the journey to true justice will be the focus here.
We have the deepest condolences for the Leppink family, but believe a mistake has been made in finding the person(s) responsible for the death of their son.

Sentencing Letters
Prior to Judge Volland's April 2008 sentence of 99 years for Mechele, numerous family, friends, and even strangers wrote letters asking for leniency based on what we know of her. We have been collecting and posting as many of these letters as we can, in order to create a more complete picture of who Mechele truly is, as seen by those closest to her. If you have a letter you'd like us to post, let us know.

Hi Mechele! It is so great to be able to "chat" with you!! You and your family must feel such a sense of relief...your mom has done such a wonderful job keeping us up to date with the latest news...I hope you all have been having the best possible reunion.,. I will write you soon...
Love, Laura
This is my first time to post here since I am so happy to hear this news that Mechele has been released! Ever since I saw this case on 48 hours, I am so sure that Mechele is innocent, and that I just could not understand that how can state can manipulate the case and take away Mechele from family. So many people get convicted just because the prosecutor's great presentation, not based on evidence. If anyone is guity, it is those men who tried to take advantage of young Mechele. I am so happy to hear this news! it has been on my mind and I have been feeling the pain of family members. I am praying for you guys!
Congratulations Mechele, how are you?
I wish you the best Mechele. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a new happy long life with your family.
Wishing you and your family the best Mechele. I can't imagine the joy you must feel right now!

Mechelle,
I am so happy for you that you got out of there. If you don't remember me I sent you the book about Hurricane Katrina and a Tudors DVD set. I'm sure that your daughter is so happy to have her mom. I'll invite you to be my friend on facebook if ok.

Mechele and Family,
I am 15 years old and I have been following your case since the trial. It broke my heart to see such a miscarriage of justice occur in the country I Love and trust so much. This made me realize that I want to be a Defense Lawyer and help wrongfully convicted people and their families. I read every article, saw the case on Inside Edition, 48 hours, Dateline, and I also read the book "Deadly Angel", a pathetic attempt by an untalented writer to give good people a bad name through untrue and vicious slander. I pray for all of you all the time and have hoped since day 1 that ALL of you will be released from the prison you are being held in for no reason. I will continue to pray for all of you that you will get the freedom and justice that you deserve. How 12 "decent" and "normal" citizens could find someone like you, Mechele, guilty is unfathomable and ridiculous and makes absolutely no sense. I am so sorry for what you have been through and truly wish there was something more that I could do, and if there is please post about it. I will follow the site, and ultimately the second trial until the truth (innocence) prevails and you can all be at peace. GOD BLESS YOU ALL <3
