Why not apply peaceful public pressure on the persecutors with a polite conversation?

Here’s what I’m going to say when I call.

“Hi this is the County Prosecutor’s Office, this is (Lori).”

Hi (Lori), I’m audio and video recording at this time.  I’m looking to speak with Mr. John Webb, please.

“Hold please.”

After being nice to his secretary, when he’s on the phone…

Hello. This is John Webb speaking.

Hi, (John / Mr. Webb). I’m (DerrickJ / Mr. Freeman).  I’m audio and video recording at this time.  I’m calling to inquire if you have decided to drop the charges against Mr. Jason Talley?

“Yes.”
Thank you, sir! I’m delighted to hear you did that. Have a splendid day. Goodbye.

“No.”
I am a (friend / associate) of Mr. Jason Talley of Talley.TV. I know him (personally / from youtube videos). He’s a reporter that always advocates peace. I’m feeling upset because I have a need to to understand and be understood, and that need isn’t getting met.  John, will you please help me to understand why you are prosecuting Jason?

Here I intend to have a brief, polite conversation about feelings, needs, and requests.

Ex: I’m afraid of losing Jason, who is an important source of (companionship / joy) for me. Would you please dismiss the charges against him?

Denouement

Thank you, (John, Mr. Webb).

You’re welcome, (DerrickJ / Mr. Freeman).

Both: Goodbye.

I won’t be arguing the case with him.  That only puts ideas for potential legal arguments into his head.  Instead, I’ll be focusing on feelings and needs.  I will see him as a human being with feelings and needs of his own.  I will express how my needs aren’t being met right now and request for him to drop the charges against Jason.

Here are some lists of feeling words and needing words that I will use to help my conversation reach an outcome where both my needs and John’s needs are met.

T.W.I.H.: MLK Leads War Protest of 5,000

Those of us who love peace must organize as effectively as the war hawks. As they spread the propaganda of war, we must spread the propaganda of peace.
Martin Luther King, Jr

History.com reports that:

This week in 1967, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., led a march of 5,000 antiwar demonstrators in Chicago. King first began speaking out against armed intervention of Vietnam in the summer of 1965. In addition to his moral objections to the war, he argued that involvement in waging war was fiscally irresponsible. He was strongly criticized by other prominent civil rights leaders for attempting to link civil rights and the antiwar movement.

Here are some excerpts from a speech he made that day:

Poverty, urban problems and social progress generally are ignored when the guns of war become a national obsession. When it is not our security that is at stake, but questionable and vague commitments to reactionary regimes, values disintegrate into foolish and adolescent slogans.
Those of us who love peace must organize as effectively as the war hawks. As they spread the propaganda of war, we must spread the propaganda of peace. We must combine the fervor of the civil rights movement with the peace movement. We must demonstrate, teach and preach, until the very foundations of our nation are shaken. We must work unceasingly to lift this nation that we love to a higher destiny, to a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humaneness.
