Make a canva photo flyer asking for commutation for Franklin Sharp #80065 who is currently located inside of Lovelock correctional center . Franklin Sharp was charged with second-degree murder and use of a deadly weapon with a  weapon enhancement . Sentence structure stipulating at 10 to life. With the possibility of Parole And, the weapon enhancement carrying a 6 to 20. Consecutive with the life sentence at the end. We are asking for commutation of the sentence because there are things within the sentence that deserves investigating and fair due process. As well as evaluation with the sentence structure that has been given to him. A central part of my request for commutation concerns the additional consecutive 6-to-20-year sentence imposed for use of a deadly weapon.
The object underlying this enhancement was not a firearm, knife, or conventional weapon.
It was a state-issued bedsheet that was already inside my cell because it was issued by the Clark County Detention Center for ordinary bedding.
I recognize that Nevada law can, depending upon the circumstances of its use, classify an otherwise ordinary object or material as a deadly weapon.
My request is therefore not based solely upon the proposition that a bedsheet could never legally constitute a deadly weapon.
Instead, I respectfully ask the Board to consider the extraordinary circumstances surrounding its use and whether an additional 6-to-20-year consecutive sentence remains necessary or proportionate.
The bedsheet was not smuggled into the facility.
It was not manufactured into a weapon before the confrontation.
It was not a firearm.
It was not a knife.
It was not an object I acquired in preparation to attack Mr. Bowling.
It was ordinary bedding provided by the detention facility and was present Jeremy Bowling became my cellmate at the Clark County Detention Center on or about October 1, 2016.
Approximately one week later, on or about October 8, 2016, a physical altercation occurred.
There was no longstanding dispute between us.
This was not gang related.
I have never been gang affiliated.
The incident was not racially motivated.
There was no plan or conspiracy to harm Mr. Bowling.
During the altercation, Mr. Bowling placed me in a chokehold and applied substantial pressure to my neck. I believed that I was being asphyxiated. I was losing oxygen, feared that I was about to lose consciousness, and believed that my life was in immediate danger.
I reacted to what I perceived as a life-threatening attack.
I maintain that this was an act committed during an escalating physical confrontation and not a premeditated plan to take another person’s life.
I recognize the tragic reality that Jeremy Bowling died.
I am deeply remorseful that the confrontation resulted in the loss of his life. I extend my sincere condolences to his mother, his family, and everyone who loved him.
I do not make my self-defense argument to disrespect his memory or diminish his family’s loss.
I make it because the circumstances surrounding the confrontation are directly relevant to whether I should spend the additional 6 to 20 years in prison attributable to the deadly-weapon enhancement.
IV. EVIDENCE OF THE CHOKEHOLD
An important part of my account involves what happened after the altercation.
Correctional personnel did not photograph my neck until approximately three hours after the incident.
By the time photographs were taken, the visible marks from the choking had diminished or disappeared.
I respectfully ask that the Board review the incident reports, medical documentation, photographs, surveillance evidence if preserved, witness statements, and other investigative records concerning the incident.
The absence of significant marks in photographs taken hours later should not automatically be interpreted as proof that the choking did not occur.
V. PRIOR HISTORY AND LACK OF PREMEDITATED VIOLENCE
I respectfully ask the Board to consider my history before this incident.
I did not have a history demonstrating a pattern of weapon-related violence.
I have never been gang affiliated.
Approximately 34 days before Mr. Bowling’s death, I was attacked by another incarcerated individual while housed in an incentive module. I understand that the other individual was identified as having significant mental-health issues. The resulting matter was dismissed based upon the circumstances and lack of evidence supporting criminal responsibility on my part.
My placement in an incentive module is also significant to me because it demonstrates the institutional context in which I was being housed before this tragedy.
I was not seeking gang conflict or looking for opportunities to commit violence. in the cell before the confrontation began.
I maintain that the incident was spontaneous and occurred while I believed I was defending my life. 
Please sign this petition that way we can get a full commutation to Franklin.
