Dear Honorable Evans,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, social justice, and criminal justice reform. In these subjects, I like to learn the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, make social justice stronger to improve communities, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. Honorable Evans, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work when you served as Judge of Wayne County Michigan 3rd Circuit Court to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as Judge of the Wayne County Michigan 3rd Circuit Court from 1997-2019, I truly appreciated on how you were a strong supporter of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, pushing for strict sentencing for people who commit hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different, and expressing the need to make civil rights stronger to combat against discrimination. Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, working to expand the court system to help victims of domestic violence or victims of crime get help on dealing with their trauma, and advocating with support the need for funds to improve DNA testing including forensic science to help solve evidence or cases efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail is common sense for criminal justice reform.  Also on criminal justice reform, I like on how you support mental heath court to help people with disabilities or people who struggle with mental health get treatment.  Another thing that I liked about your work as Judge of the Wayne County Michigan 3rd Circuit Court was how you are a strong supporter of protecting civil liberties like the fourth amendment to help protect people from unreasonable searches, work with other judges of the Wayne County Michigan 3rd Circuit Court to create  an ethics commissions to investigate law enforcement, judges, and  staff members of  judges that commit misconduct or accept illegal bribes to reduce corruption. After you left your role in public service,  I like on how you are a continuous strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights, heavily advocate for criminal justice reform, and speak out against racial profiling including police misconduct.   

Honorable Evans, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also on your website Vonda’s Law, I enjoy learning about how to protect your rights when you are accused,  basic civil liberties like the fourth amendment, and some awareness about the need for criminal justice reform. Your role as former Judge of the Wayne County Michigan 3rd Circuit Court gives me motivation to continue to learn history, social justice, and criminal justice reform. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, make social justice stronger to improve communities, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  

I strongly believe that you have made a great difference in public service. I’m very proud on how you worked hard to support civil rights, advocate with push for criminal justice reform, and many others. You have inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn more about your work, and continue to learn different subjects.  I was wondering if you could please share with me what it was like serving in Wayne County Michigan 3rd Circuit Court and some advice for me to continue to work hard on my disability. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to advocate for common sense ideas to make society a better place.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
