Free Jabe Carney

The Issue

Jabe Carney is currently serving 25 years in Florida state prison for DUI manslaughter, among other less serious traffic and drug offenses, including 5 years for driving with a suspended license. The DUI accident happened on Super Bowl Sunday, 2006, and the victim, Jason Gibson, was Jabe's friend. Jabe's current release date is in 2027.

Jabe filed for clemency in 2019. But the Clemency Board has yet to make a decision in his case. The victim's sisters, Katherine and Danyel, have forgiven Jabe for their brother's death and support his early release. But as it stands, their sentiments are being ignored; their pleas for mercy are falling on deaf ears.

By signing this petition, you will be amplifying Katherine and Danyel's voices. You will also be ensuring that Jabe's clemency application gets the attention it deserves. Jabe has transformed his life while incarcerated. And he has served enough time, as recognized by the victim's family. Please sign this petition. Help free Jabe Carney. Reunite him with his loving family. Thank you.
