SUPPORT AND ADVOCATCY NEEDED
The purpose of funding campaign is to help with attorney fees for William “Will” Lucas. On 1/30/17, Will was arrested for Armed Robbery. This alleged crime occurred on 1/14/17, only moments after celebrating a birthday in our family. He is facing 10 years to life for a crime he did not commit.
Will is a loving father of 2 young boys, he has been an active father with both of them their entire lives; never missing a baseball/ soccer game, known to heal boo boo’s and read bedtime stories. He has strived to show his sons that the mistakes you make when you are young do not have to define your future. Will graduated on January 28, 2017 from welding school and was on his way for a successful future. Will has been a law abiding citizen since he was released from prison in 2012 putting his family first in everything he has done.
St. Augustine’s Judicial System
In no way are we implying the judicial system in St. Augustine is 100% biased yet it still has a small town feel with a old judicial system (a who knows who). As a youth, Will was not an upstanding citizen. He did serve time in prison for a crime he did commit. This crime was from 7 years ago. However, his youthful history has made him an easy scapegoat for present crimes. The news, even, incorrectly linked him to other crimes, which were committed WHILE HE WAS IN JAIL. We, his family, have put our faith in the public defender office until now. The public defender has not advocated for Will since his arrest. Thus far, the public defender has not interviewed the victim (which he stated he was busy with other court cases and wouldn’t until after Wills pretrial hearing).
We do not want to give specific details regarding Wills innocence but we believe 100% he is innocent of these charges. Honestly, we would be looking for a plea deal if we thought he was guilty.
Private Attorney
After much thought and prayers, we decided to hire a private attorney for Will. He needed someone to advocate for him and not someone just wanting to play nice with the prosecution.
HELP PLEASE!
We are asking everyone to please help with the attorney fees. There is no small donation a $1 can make a difference.
