Demand for exoneration of Gregory Williams' Wrongful Conviction

The Issue

This petition calls for Gregory Williams's exoneration. Gregory was wrongfully convicted in 2002 of murder and robbery based on false testimony in Norfolk, Virginia. It has become apparent that Gregory Williams’ conviction was marred by a corrupt investigation led by Former Detective Robert Glen Ford, who was convicted for corruption in 2012 - proving his lack of integrity and credibility in carrying out justice. The original case held other alarming discrepancies: evidence was suppressed, official documents were altered, and victims’ clothes were destroyed before DNA testing. This manipulation of the justice system has led to severe consequences, stolen years, and suffering for Gregory Williams. By signing this petition, you demand that the judicial system reevaluates and rectifies these failings, taking a step toward preventing such disastrous miscarriages of justice in Norfolk. Demand justice for Gregory Williams. Demand adherence to true legal principles. Sign this petition.
