I'm a forty three year old, Black African American male from Pennsylvania. I am currently incarcerated and serving time for a horrific change of  events involving a serious physical shooting  altercation between myself and the local police, when I was twenty four years old. I remain hopeful for justice.

I was seriously racially profiled by the EPD police who was searching for someone else, which resulted in life altering circumstances. One of the officers who shot me was intoxicated. By YHWH's  grace. I survived five gunshot wounds. I was forced into a self defensive position. I attempted to surrender with my hands raised in the surrender position, but was shot by a intoxicated police officer, and several others while fighting for my life. I love music, sports, nature and animals. I enjoy writing poetry, stories and desire to inspire others by sharing truth in all its forms. I hope to discourage others from making the serious mistakes I made. 

I hope to inspire  and empower youth to find inner strength, and courage when facing life's  obstacles. I believe in education and pursue  available educational opportunities while incarcerated. Irrespective of how things may appear, I am a spiritual person. I believe that strong people exercise mind, body and soul in order to be truly focused. By nature I am a loving, social person who love God, his children, family, friends and life. I'm not perfect. Regretfully I have made erroneous mistakes. I have been incarcerated for twenty years, and am seeking justice. Thanks for signing the petition.

Sincerely, Charlton
