Thank you Ms Lucas - your Grace perhaps you would allow me to tell Ms Lucas that after we had received her statement, we did speak to the advocate who represented Michael Lucas and brought a plea for clemency after he had been sentenced to death.  And he did tell us that although it was in fact a very short time between the  time that Michael Lucas was sentenced, and executed that all the procedures, the legal procedures were properly followed.
 That it was a time when those decisions were being taken quickly and the case was processed quickly.  But she should know that - that legally the procedures were properly followed.
 Michael was charged together with two others in this case - the other two people were Jerome Myo and Eric Phote and they both escaped having the death penalty passed on them.  Partly because of the evidence which Michael Lucas gave.  The Court did not believe all of his evidence, but he was able to avoid the other two receiving the death sentence.  And we can't know that, but maybe that was part of his objective in the evidence that he did give.  And perhaps afterwards I could take a little more to Ms Lucas about what advocate Michael  Donen told me about this case.
