Furthermore, the numerous supporters of Mark Whitacre are still very active today with this endeavor including Chuck Colson and Harmon Killebrew. In support of this effort, in early March 2008, Dean Paisley, a now retired 25-year veteran of the FBI, joined Mark Whitacre in Washington, D.C. where they jointly met with government lawyers. The objective of the meeting was to present strong support for Executive Clemency by all three FBI agents, including Brian Shepard who maintained day-to-day contact with Mark Whitacre during the case, and one of the former prosecutors who worked on the original case. Dean Paisley has said, "Such strong pardon support from several current and former Department of Justice officials is unprecedented."

Mark openly admits to his mistakes and wishes that things had turned out differently. We are fully aware of the details of this case and Mark's specific involvement.
