Dear Judge Wilson,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learning history and social justice. In these subjects,  I like to learn the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  Judge Wilson, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain  how I find your work as judge of the Supreme Court of Missouri to be very inspiring to me.

In 2012, I liked on how you accepted Governor Jay Nixon to appoint you to serve in the Supreme Court of Missouri to help improve the judicial system.  In your current role as judge of the Supreme Court of Missouri, I truly appreciate on how you are 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 for the criminal justice system to reduce racial profiling to help protect minorities including immigrants from being oppressed.  On victim’s rights, I like on how you work with other court systems to expand resources to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma and strongly advocate for the need of more better protection for victims to be protected from being stalked by a criminal.  Supporting the need for drug treatment programs to help dug-users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, expressing support for the idea of having community service programs to help rehabilitate non-violent offenders or non violent juveniles in order to reduce re-offending, and advocating for more funds for DNA testing including forensic science to help reduce sending an innocent person to jail while solve cases with evidence efficiently is common sense for criminal justice reform.

Judge Wilson, 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 your work as current as current Judge of the Supreme Court of Missouri gives me motivation to continue to learn history with social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in the Supreme Court of Missouri. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support Civil Rights, push for criminal justice reform, and  advocate for victim’s rights.  You have inspired me to work hard on my disability and to continue to learn history with social justice. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a difference in the judicial system, and inspiring me.  I wish you the best to continue to make a great impact on society including the criminal justice system.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
