Though Paul House remains in prison, there is more reason to hope that his ordeal may finally be coming to an end. As we have told you in previous blogs, the state recently decided to waive the procedural issues which were blocking a judge from hearing the case on the merits. Within the next two weeks, Judge Mattice should have the information that he needs to make a decision. The Judge will likely spend a few months with the case, deliberating, writing an opinion, etc. with a decision being made by year's end.

Though the end of the year still seems like a long time to wait, considering Paul has been waiting for 22 years, a few more months is doable, if it means Paul's ultimate release. We will continue to keep you posted as we have more information.

In the meantime, we, at TCASK, are still selling our "Free Paul House" t-shirts and encouraging you to wear them as much as possible to inform Tennesseans about this case. Without the efforts of so many of you who have worked for Paul's release for so long, we would not be where we are today, possibly just months away from Paul going home to his mother, Joyce. If you would like to purchase a t-shirt, please email us tcask@tcask.org or call us #615-256-3906.
