Maybe it would be useful to have information on who this person is, unless this 'article' is for the vastly small audience who knows.

Yup, it is bullshit alright!
But don't preach to the choir. Let the Parole Board and the wobbly state of Michigan know about it too by writing that letter.

I've never written a letter to a parole board before so what else besides Free Wil Hetherington should I say?

What exactly should we say in our letters? How specific should we be? I don't want to screw this up.

I borrowed from your example and sent this letter off today:
==================================================
To the Michigan Parole Board :
I am writing on behalf of the prisoner William Hetherington #186155, who is currently serving a sentence for spousal rape. The nearly 20 years Wil has already spent in prison is far above and beyond what is reasonable both in terms of legal guidelines and simple common sense.
I urge you to please free Wil Heterington immediately. Wil has already experienced years of injustice based on nothing more than state sponsored misandry and tyranny. Please free Wil Heterington immediately. Wil has many valuable contributions that he can still make to society. Please stop the sadistic injustice being committed against Wil Heterington now by the State of Michigan. Please free Wil Heterington now.
Sincerely, Ray

Guys in the circle of people I know is a fellow who was falsely accused of murdering his best friend when he was 15 years old.(He is a Miq Mah Native by the way and the son of a Grand Chief).
He ended up doing 15 years before he was aquitted and remained a "person of interest" till recent times when it has finally sunk in to the agencies of the law that every time they take this guy to court they just end up with egg on their face.
Here is the bad news...if Hetherington is not willing to admit he did it and become the poster child of repentant remorse he is not going to get parole.
One of the first things agents of the law are taught is declarations of innocence by the accused are "self serving" and it is up to the agents of the law to determine who is guilty and who is not.
Parole is NEVER...I repeat....NEVER granted when the convicted person insists they are innocent no matter how large a community base of support might be.
Donald Marshall Junior had an absolutely terrible time with this, as did David Millgaard.
