To: Protect the Bill of Rights

No ones denies that I was in prison for three years. All of 2000(January 27th), 2001, 2002 discharged (December 25th).

In case you haven’t put it together yet, that prison sentence was BEFORE the kidney news article.

Again, who sells a kidney for $600? Not even in India or Bangladesh.

Who would go through several months of testing to earn $600?

And again, why do you NOT make attention of that fact that this young man was given a kidney (for FREE) from a woman in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (my hometown is Cedar Rapids).

The young man died 4 years later in 2008.

Again, get your story straight.

What a half-rate researcher.

Some of your information seems conflict with news reports, of which there are plenty more in the archives.

Do you have documentation to refute these claims; email sent in late 2002 (around the time you were paroled?), email sent May 3, 2003 asking for compensation; subsequent disappearance?

Note the date of the email, June 13, 2003, from Diane Langton, who offered her kidney free of charge. How does that fit in your timetable?

Asking questions and debunking is a big part of FR. There are plenty of fine researchers here. Many, myself included, don't publicly post all they have. Just an FYI.

‘HE LIVED EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY’ - JIM WILSON JR., WHO RECEIVED A KIDNEY FROM AN ‘ANGEL’ IN 2004, HAS DIED
Post-Standard, The (Syracuse, NY) - Wednesday, January 16, 2008
Author: Catie O'Toole Staff writer
Nearly four years has passed since a stranger gave Jim Wilson Jr. a kidney and saved his life.

When he died Monday, his kidney was still functioning.

Kathleen Wilson said her son thought he was coming down with the flu and had been lying down most of the day.

“He didn't feel good,” she said Tuesday.

Things turned for the worse.

Jim Wilson Sr. went to call 911 and their son went into cardiac arrest, Kathleen Wilson said.

James J. Wilson was 25.

“He lived every minute of every day,” his father said.

Jim Jr. was born with one kidney . It kept him going for the first 18 years of his life. He rarely missed school, and even felt fine the day a school nurse took his blood pressure and realized something was wrong. Go see a doctor, she told him. Right away.

Over three years, while his family searched for a donor, Jim Jr.’s condition worsened to the point he needed daily dialysis.

Jim Jr. was put on the national kidney transplant list in November 2001, five months after doctors diagnosed him with end stage renal disease.

Today, there are 147 people waiting for either a kidney or a kidney and pancreas transplant at University Hospital in Syracuse, said Laura Squadrito, director of programs at the National Kidney Foundation of Central New York.

The Wilsons, who live in Oswego, did what they could to speed up the process. A family friend started a Web site and Jim Wilson Sr. hung several hundred posters in stores, banks and other places, asking someone to donate a kidney to save his son's life.

In late 2002, a man from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, sent an e-mail to the family. The man, who called himself Lucas Smith , said he was 23 years old and had emigrated from Russia five years earlier. He had seen the Web site and, Smith said, he wanted to help.

The Wilsons stopped searching for a donor. Smith passed all of the medical, physical and psychological tests. They thought he was going to save their son's life.

Then, on May 3, 2003, Smith sent Jim Wilson Sr. an e-mail saying he wanted to be compensated for donating his kidney .

Wilson said they would pay his airfare, but because it was illegal to receive money for an organ donation, they wouldn't give him any other cash.

Five months after holding out a lifeline, Lucas Smith disappeared.

Jim Wilson Sr. called the Cedar Rapids police.

On June 13, 2003, Diane Langton e-mailed the Wilsons. She had read about what happened and wanted to help.

The same person who uses false ID's.

What does the prison sentence have to do with the kidney story? NOTHING. (except you were out of prison in 2003).
