Re: VAUGHN PETER MATHIS
Inmate #: DK9138
To Whom it May Concern:
I am writing to urge you to deny an early release from prison for the above referenced convicted felon. Among a variety of
other charges, he was legally convicted and sentenced for taking the life of Ryan Hacke, an innocent 14-month old baby. He
did this by firing nine shots from an illegally obtained firearm into a crowded gas station with the intent of taking another
person’s life.
Through court records, I have become aware of his extensive and consistent violent criminal history dating to the time he
was a 16-year old juvenile. The records includes convictions for illegally obtained firearms, altering firearm identification
numbers, drug trafficking, burglary, simple assault, reckless endangerment, terroristic threats, unlawful restraint, and
aggravated assault in connection with the violent beating and rape of a 54-year old woman.
It is my firm belief that upon early release, this convicted felon will continue to engage in violent criminal behavior and
become a detriment to society. He has already taken the life of an innocent child and permanently altered the lives of each
heart-broken member of Ryan Hacke's surviving family. My greatest fear is that another innocent family will have their lives
violently and permanently changed as a consequence of his actions. I feel that the only small measure of justice remaining
would be to deny parole and have him serve the full measure of his legally imposed sentence.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
