Katheryn Kerr hasn't added a story.
We are raising funds to hire an attorney for my brother. He inevitably failed to check in with his probation on time when he was badly sick with COVID. And if anyone knows anyone else that has unfortunately ended up in the "system", you know there is no shortage of corruption all the way to the highest levels.
Sure, my brother did wrong by not reporting to his Probation Officer like he should have, but I think anyone would agree that "if he doesn't take their plea deal of 2-4 1/2 YEARS" he is being threatened he will do 10-25 years if he takes it to trial and losses, (his own attorney is threating him with this,and not even trying to get it lowered) is something to be outraged about. And not only is he being threatened/coerced, they have made his bail extremely high and unable for us to get him out in between time. So he has now lost his job, and is frightened to death about the prospect of going to prison for potentially the rest of his life.
Right now we have $1000. We need another $5000 to hire an attorney, one that will actually go to bat for him, one that will fight to get him a way less harsh of a sentence.
I'd like to share more, I will update this with other facts I have found out upon doing research on the highly used unconstitutional thing called the "Trial Penalty" that is pervasive across our country. To me, it is shocking, and infuriating! I'd like to turn this into a campaign to end this messed up cycle of "prosecutorial abuse of power," or at the very least put a big dent in it. With all this being said, please fell free to reach out and ask anything, I will give updates frequently, if this so encourages you. And if you so happen to feel inclined to help financially, I will be more then grateful, so will my brother. Thank you, no matter what happenes, prayers PLEASE!!!
