Tag me out. I was convicted under nothing but a theory; a theory that was conjected by lies, false testimony. During a hearing of trials, the prosecution never brought up forth any evidence that would therefore leave room for reasonable doubt, yet was still given a guilty finding, trying me of a crime that had no ties to. It was senseless, just like the findings. Typical DNA evidence, video footage or an eyewitness is utterly and completely essential for a conviction or a cause for conviction. However, none of these things were used to place me at, or near, the scene of the crime. These are facts in play, and this must account for something. This conviction is wrongful in so many levels. It is inconceivable and ludicrous. I was tried and convicted and sentenced and given life without the possibility of parole. This case was built against me and deserves a second look, because once it is reviewed, the ruling will be in my favor.
I am an African American female who was brought up in poverty and never had the privilege of a family upbringing. My trial was – I was not given without prejudice. I was faced with an all white jury which was would not meet the criteria,” jury of my peers”. That alone attests to the failure of a due process of the amendment rights, which, per the U.S. Constitution, these are supposed to be upheld and honored, yet are not given. The basic guidelines that each individual adequately gives were stripped and simply not provided to me. After all that being stated, this is not the most heinous part. During the time of the crime, I was receiving SSI checks for illiteracy, and was made to stand trial as a competent individual when never reviewed beforehand for incompetency. This is my story, and will continue to be my story until a difference is made. This is the view from the inside looking out.
