Case Document 45-5 Filed 05/05/17 Page 1 of 1 Michael G. Bellotti April 19, 2017 .The Honorable Judge Rya W. Zobel John Joseph Mcakley U.S-. Ce-urt-heuse One Courthouse Way Boston, MA 02210 Dear Judge Zobel, Please accept this letter of support for Daniel I have known Mr. for most of my life. We went to high school and college together. Over the years, I have co?hosted numerous charity events with him. He is a man blessed with great talents, and I have witnessed him donate hundreds of hours of his time to raise millions of dollars for exceptionally causes and groups such as military veterans? associations, the Quincy Parks Conservancy, the Quincy Partnership and Catholic charities. I believe he has accepted responsibility for his inexcusable crimes in the case before you. I also believe in second chances. I run a correctional facility and know for a fact that people can be genuinely remorseful and work to atone for their actions. I know you will give due consideration to all the factors before you, and I hope Dan will have the chance to prove his contrition. Thank you for allowing me to be heard. Sincerely, Michael G. Bellotti Sheriff of Norfolk County 33 Bayberry Road, Quincy, Massachusetts 02171 (617) 908?0007 EXHIBIT tabular
