Chris,  

My name is Lori Hawkins-Acosta.  I am the widow of Irving Officer Aubrey Hawkins.  He was killed in the line of duty Christmas Eve, 2000.  At the time of his death, he was an active member of TMPA.   

I'm sure yourself and organization are aware that the remaining so called "Texas 7" were all convicted and sentenced to death.  In the recent months, one of the "criminals," Michael Rodriguez, requested an early execution.  That request was signed by a district judge in Dallas County and an execution date has been set for next month, August 14, 2008 at 6:00pm in Huntsville.   

I would greatly appreciate your help in notifying all TMPA members...  Aubrey would want them to be aware.  Any and all support during this time of justice would be greatly appreciated.  I am asking that any officer available on the above date and time make their presence known in uniform at the Huntsville prison in honor of Aubrey. 

In my opinion , and I know it would be Aubrey's as well, this is the first step towards final justice.   Feel free to pass this message and my email address on to any officer intrested in the execution.    

Sincerely,  

Lori Hawkins-Acosta
