Sidalia Barba hasn't added a story.
Our family and friends are on a mission to bring our brother home. The current situation is to have Manuel Barba's sentence modified to say concurrent as opposed to consecutive. We are campaigning to raise the funds that will reach our goal of $17,500 to hire an attorney who will attempt to get the sentences rectified.
For those who know Manuel and what happened to him in court, you all know that he was given an unjust sentence. Everyone knows that Manuel was not innocent but he also was not the person who the prosecutor painted him to be. Due to scrupulous practices by the federal prosecutors, Manuel was given an additional 100 months (8 years and 4 months) on top (consecutive) of his original 108 month sentence (9 years). This caused his combined sentence to be a total of 17 years and 4 months. By the grace of God the 100 month sentence was modified and reduced to 50 months but was still ran consecutively. In 2015 a law changed and reduced his 108 month sentence to 87 months! My brother has now served 66 months of the 87 month sentence. However, after he successfully completes that sentence, he will have to start the unfair and unjust 50 month sentence .
Our campaign is to raise $17,500 for attorney fees to get my brothers consecutive sentence amended to say concurrent. If we can accomplish this, Manuel will have both sentences completed by February of 2017!!! This means that Manuel could be out and at the halfway house as early as August 2016!
Manuel has paid paid his debt to society for the crime that he committed and there is no need to keep him incarcerated for any unjust and extended period of time. Please help bring our brother and our friend home!
