Alan Ortiz, my beloved cousin, has been living a nightmare, trying to prove his innocence for a crime he did not commit. Despite evidence in his favor, Alan is serving a shocking 60-120 year sentence, a term that equates to death by incarceration. His family's needs for his presence cannot be overstated, and it's heart-wrenching to witness such injustice.

At trial, law enforcement officers themselves admitted under oath that Alan did not fire a weapon, and they never saw him with a gun. This critical admission alone should have been enough to question his conviction. Furthermore, expert testimony from a gun specialist stated that the ballistic tests were inconclusive, as the individual marks on the bullets were insufficient for a conclusive match.

Despite these revelations, Alan's appeals have repeatedly been denied. The justice system has turned a blind eye to the glaring gaps in the evidence and continues to fail him. Alan's wrongful imprisonment not only robs him of his life's potential but also deprives his family of a vital member.

We cannot stand by while justice is blatantly denied. Alan Ortiz deserves a fair reevaluation of his case, which is built on shaky grounds and inconclusive evidence. It's time for the legal system to acknowledge its mistakes and rectify this grave injustice.

We call upon the judicial authorities and the district attorney's office to review Alan's case with the urgency and fairness it deserves. We demand transparency and accountability in re-evaluating the evidence that has wrongly imprisoned an innocent man.
