My husband, Lloyd Brice, was framed by the system that should've been created to protect him. His encounter with San Joaquin County in Stockton, CA's legal institutions has underlined the shocking negligence and intentional misconduct pervading every layer of our justice system. Lloyd Brice found himself in a situation where he had to defend Kevin Neal, himself, and others, following an attack by Culnlee Howell in a public setting. In response to his attempt to protect the lives around him, Brice was framed and indicted.

The District Attorney Kevin Rooney buried focal evidence; he concealed the fact that Kevin Neal not only went to the hospital due to a gunshot wound inflicted while evading the scene, but also that he was the one to call 911. In manipulating the case, DA Kevin Rooney relied on tampering of evidence and blackmail. He even used the testimony of an eye-witness who was not present during the incident, in a deal to secure the witness's release from prison - an outright act of deceit.

In addition to this, numerous unfair practices remain unchecked such as the District Attorney's Office stacking the deck by having friends serve as jurors in grand jury hearings and using illegal wiretaps. There have been cases of excessive extensions used as a means to hold an inmate without justifiable reasoning. Evidence has often been edited, and certain times produced, while the proper discovery packet is not provided to the defense team.

The entire process is wrought with bias and coercion, tipping the scales of justice away from fairness and truth. What happened to my husband shouldn't happen to anyone else. We must demand a thorough review of the practices in San Joaquin County, to ensure transparency and unbiased administration of the law. Let's shatter these unscrupulous institutions' unethical practices and demand that they cease immediately. Sign the petition to insist on justice for Lloyd Brice and others possibly affected by this corrupted system. Your signature is a stand against the manipulation of the judicial process.
