Mr. McCrae gave me full power and consent to publish all document pertaining to his case be it in English or Czech language. Copy of this letter was sent to US State Department, US Congress, including copies of all personal letters and other documents written in prison by Mr. McCrae.

It is without any question, that the rights to just and honest trial guaranteed by the Czech Constitution was in this particular case flagrantly and provably violated. Czech criminal investigation units and courts should serious charges such a murder in this case properly check and re-check, all allegations fully follow, and prove beyond reasonably doubt, and then charge the correct culprit.
