1. Reopen the investigation into the murder of Leanne Holland 
As it stands, Leanne Holland's murder is now an unsolved cold case. The purpose of this petition is to force the authorities to reopen the investigation into who really killed Leanne Holland and to begin investigating the initial mishandling of the case by the original investigating team.
Graham Stuart Stafford was jailed for life in 1992 after being found guilty in the Queensland Supreme Court of murdering schoolgirl Leanne Holland.
He was convicted on circumstantial evidence of using a blunt object to bash to death the sister of his then-fiancee at a home in Goodna on September 23, 1991.
Graham spent nearly 15 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. He was released early in 2005 and on Christmas Eve 2009 had his conviction quashed pending a retrial. On March 26 2010 the Crown said that they would not be proceeding with a retrial.
2. We Want Terrence Mann as Bob in The Dresden Files
Since Syfy refuses to hear the plea of the 16,182 souls that have signed the petition to bring back The Dresden Files TV series it's time for a new plea.
It has come to our attention that Jim Butcher gains the rights to The Dresden Files back in 2012 and after that he hopes to sell the movie rights so there will be a new incarnation of Harry Dresden. This is all well and good however there was one aspect of The Dresden Files TV show loved above all else. Terrence Mann's incarnation of Bob.
`
If we cannot get The Dresden Files TV show back at least let us retain Terrence Mann's version of Bob. And so starteth the Bob petition.
This petition is a preemptive strike. For the future incarnations of The Dresden Files we want Terrence Mann's incarnation of Bob.
The Dresden Files TV series (TDF) is based on the best-selling book series written by Jim Butcher.
The series began on the Sci-Fi Channel on January 21, 2007 with the episode Birds of a Feather and ran for a total of 12 episodes, ending with Second City on April 15. Despite a very short season & NO advertising or promotion by Sci-Fi Channel, the show did amazingly well - earning viewer ratings equal to, & some even better than, the Sci-Fi Channel's highly publicized ‘flagship’ show Battlestar Galactica.
To ensure that the Sci-Fi Channel & its owners NBC/Universal understood how important the show was to fans of the scifi genre’, Dresden Files fans began writing letters to them and praising the show.
On July 4, 2007, a statement was released in an Edmonton, Canada newspaper that Lionsgate – who produces TDF – were moving one of their series to Edmonton for production. One of the series listed that could possibly move was the Dresden Files! This statement gave hope to the fans, who persisted in the letter-writing campaign & began contacting the media.
On July 14, an e-mail was received by several fans from Patrick Lee, editor of Sci Fi Wire – the news & info site on SciFi.com – stating that an announcement was expected ‘this week’. The week came & went with absolutely NO response from either the Sci-Fi Channel or its parent company NBC/Universal.
On August 3, 2007, a statement was posted on Sci Fi Wire concerning Paul Blackthorne – lead actor of the Dresden Files – having accepted a recurring role on the new show Big Shots. The last sentence again stated that the status of the series had not been decided. Later that same day, the last sentence was altered to say that the Dresden Files would not be back for Season 2.
We fans believe that not only is the Dresden Files the BEST TV series that has been released in 2007, it is also the most intelligent, witty, suspenseful, engaging, and endearing show that has been released on ANY channel or network in YEARS!
For this reason, we are petitioning Lionsgate as producers of the show, and any and ALL television channels to pick up the Dresden Files - cast & crew – for Season 2!!
