I would like to say that I am in full support in the campaign to stop the state sanctioned murder of another Black Man.
I know first hand that the state cares not about guilt or innoncence, they only carfe about punishment and blame. I spent four months locked in an Indiana cell for a crime I not only did not commit but had no knowledge of. The state will stop at nothing when the prose-killer's ego is on the line.Not only did they put me in but my so also along with my husband. Three days before trial, they through the whole case out without so much as I'm sorry.
The law is suppose to represent the sentiments of the people. Until "we the people" step forward and let our voice be heard, this type of railroading will continue. It is therefore up to us to hold those people that so graciously court our vote during election, responsible for the laws that are passed, in our name, that is helping destroy our community.
