I am Daeveon McCoy, the first born of Reginald McCoy. My father is my life and means the world to me. It’s been very unfortunate having to grow and learn life without him. He is not here with me physically but spiritually we have a connection that is divine. My father is loved by many and the community misses him just as much as me. I would do anything to have my father present. Please take this time to take my feelings as well as his loved ones into consideration. My father is innocent.

              Community Petition In Support of Reggie L. McCoy #11732-018's Compassionate Release

       or Reduction in Sentence. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C 3582(c)(2)(A) And 3553(a)(c) Factors.

           __________________________________________________________________

   Comes now, We, the Community and People of the State of Florida, City of Palmetto, Manatee County and Elsewhere, as peers of Reggie L. McCoy #11732-018, to hereby moves this Hon. district court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, requesting consideration of release or reduction of sentence on behalf of Reggie L. McCoy #11732-018.

                      STATEMENT OF CAUSE AND REASON FOR RELEASE OR REDUCTION OF SENTENCE

                         _______________________________________________________________

 1. We, the community and people of the State of Florida, city of Palmetto, Manatee County and elsewhere, or peers of Reggie L. McCoy #11732-018, grew up with Reggie as a children in school and in the community. Reggie grew up in a humble family with his brother Michael Kelly, his mother Delorse M. McCoy age 74 years old and his step father Jimmy Lee Wright, who is now deceased. Reggie has always been loved and a great influence on friends and family. He was a recording artist. He would rap and sing at or in Middle School and High School and performed at beauty pageants as a young boy in Middle School. But as he grew up, his group was call "All The Way Live". Mc. Coy and L. Ski. His childhood friend Lance Bryant. Their first album was call " My Nintendo". After the computer game Nintendo.

2. We, the Community and People of the State of Florida, City of Palmetto, Manatee County and elsewhere, as peers of Reggie L. McCoy #11732-018, understand that Reggie deviated from his music career and passion for music to lead a life of drugs. And that he was convicted of Conspiracy and Possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of cocaine base, namely, Crack Cocaine under 21 U.S.C. Section 841(a)(1) and Section 846. But we have never known Reggie to commit any other crime, Murder, Rape, Kidnapping, Robbery or violence or threat danger, or pose any risk of harm or injury to anyone in or against our community. He has always been respectful to men as well as women. He has a very great love for children. And he has always helped people. He has a very beautiful character as a young man. And we have always admired him for his personality and interest in music. In 1995, Reggie was sexually assualted at USP Florence Colorado as a prisoner by a female staff, and held down by 4 male officers during the assualt. We believe that no human being should have had to suffer what he sufferred as a punishment for his crime. And for that alone, we think he deserves justice.

 3. We, the Community and People of the State of Florida, City of Palmetto, Manatee County and elsewhere, as peers of Reggie L. McCoy #11732-018, do recognize and acknowledge the mistakes that Reggie made as an 18 year old youth, and we believe that he has changed since his incarceration for the crime he was convicted of in 1990. We believe a mandatory minimum sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or release was too serve for the charge against him. And that the 35 years he has been imprisoned is excessive and does not serve the interest of justice for a nonviolent person as Reggie is and was. Therefore, we believe the penalty does not fit the crime charged against him. We believe the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194 at 404(b) not being made retroactive by Congress to defendants sentence before the Act was enacted, when those defendants were the victims of racially desperate 100:1 ratio, but unable to benefit from the reduction of the disparity, is extraordinary and compelling reasons that warrants Reggie's reduction in his sentence. And we support Reggie's Cry for Justice. Equal justice under the law. 

 4. We, the Community and People of the State of Florida, City of Palmetto, Manatee County and elsewhere, as peers of Reggie L. McCoy #11732-018, believe Reggie has matured and recognizes the mistakes he has made in his past life as an immature young man. We forgive him of his debt to society and believe he has been redeemed and is redeemable of his past inclinations to commit crimes. We believe any further prison time is unjust and unfair in light of current laws and penalties imposed for similar crimes and defendant's who committed similar conduct as he was convicted and sentenced for in the 90's, and it shocks the conscience of any civilized and mature human being today for his sentence to be soo harsh. Therefore, we believe with his knowledge, wisdom and understanding gained over the 35 years of his incarceration and studying, Reggie will be a great asset to our community and the youth as well as his family and friends. He is a spiritual teacher and student of the Bible and Holy Quran. As well as criminal law. And he should be able to teach others as he has learn for himself, the virtues of his spiritual side of life. And to be able to spend time with his aged mother who is ill and suffers heart problems. We believe he should be release to afford him the opportunity to reestablish himself and his ties his to our community, family and friends who love him, and feel he deserve a second chance to live as a free man and father to his children and grandchildren. He deserve to accept his responsibility as a man and member of our community as a rehabilitated person.

 Therefore, on behalf of our fellow citizen family member and friend of our community, as his peers, we seek to restore the dignity, promote respect for the law and strength of family and community ties between Reggie L. McCoy #11732-018 and his family and friends. And provide him the opportunity to accept his responsibility as a man and child of his aging mother. He is now 53 years old. An age that we believe to be a "LIGHT" and "GUIDE" to our youth and to our Community. We support and recommend that this court grant Reggie L. McCoy #11732-018 his release from prison.

 5. We, the Community and People of the State of Florida, City of Palmetto, Manatee County and elsewhere, as peers of Reggie L. McCoy #11732-018, affirm and assure this court that we will assist and support Reggie L. McCoy #11713-018, upon return into our community or elsewhere, economically, financially and will provide food, clothing, shelter and transportation, as well as, employment, job opportunities to him if released.  We invite all who are willing and able to donate and contribute to his GoFundMe or Cashapp: $ReggiesCryForJustice legal and financial assistance. Your contributions will be appreciated. And we guarantee that he will not commit a state, local or federal crime in the United States or elsewhere; and that he will appear to any court order hearing if necessary as part of the judgment order.

                                                   CONCLUSION

                                                    __________
