De

ar Honorable Ju

dge Briccetti,

I am wr

iting this letter re

garding my bro

ther Matthew L

ibous. Matt is m

y older brother,

by 4 years, and

ou

r parents are F

ran and Tom Lib

ous. We grew u

p on the south s

ide of Bingham

ton, NY. We are

a

close fam

ily and my brot

her Matt is one

of the reasons w

hy we are so cl

ose.

Gro

wing up Matt w

as always one o

f my best friend

s, not just my b

rother. He alwa

ys included me

in

activities with

his friends, alt

hough I was you

nger & it was n

ot the cool thin

g . He was alwa

ys kind as

an older b

rother, while m

ost older brothe

rs were not so

nice. Matt alway

s included ever

yone, never

looking do

wn on anyone

or judged them.

His kindness e

xtended not jus

t throughout his

childhood &

ado

lescence, but in

to his adult year

s at college and

in law school.

When Matt

graduated law s

chool he decid

ed to work for th

e government a

s a DA assistan

t. Much like

ou

r father, he wa

nted to help the

community and

thought workin

g for the gover

nment would be

a great

start.

Matt took much

pride in watch

ing our father th

roughout the y

ears and wante

d to follow his l

ead.

I know this

because repeat

edly he mention

ed how proud h

e was of Dad a

nd the work he h

ad done with

the souther

n tier. So Matt w

ent to work for

the DA and con

tinued down ou

r Father's path

of public

service.

Matt then tho

ught he could h

elp the commun

ity by defendin

g those who are

found on the w

rong side of

the law. He w

orked as a defe

nse attorney fo

r some time and

then started h

is own law firm.

Now, Matt runs a company where he employs many people who support their families. Matt has built a

successful

company throug

h hard work an

d still finds the w

ork for our com

pany. The emp

loyees fulfill

the constructio

n aspect of the

job in the field.

He is not just ou

r boss but our l

eader. He not o

nly

empl

oys us, but alwa

ys supports us,

gives us the too

ls necessary to

complete our job

s, & takes an

interest in u

s as individuals

. Matt is commi

tted to people, n

ot because he

gets something

out of it but

because of his

generous natur

e. I know I may

be biased but m

y brother is the

fairest person I h

ave ever

worked for. He

can also be ver

y demanding, b

ut wants the bes

t for us. I know

as long as Matt

is around,

W

CS will be fine a

nd the people w

e employ will c

ontinue to supp

ort their family.

Your Honor, I re

spectfully ask th

at you show me

rcy on my broth

er and please k

eep him at hom

e with his

f

amily and out o

f jail. I have seen

him give so ma

ny people seco

nd changes and

I believe he des

erves

the

same.

Than

k you for your t

ime,

Nick Libous
