The Issue

My Fiance is 35 years old and has been in prison since he was 19 for fighting off a man attempting to disarm him of his gun and accidentally killing the man in the heat of the moment in the midst of the tussle. He was charged with premeditated first degree murder and it was his first violent offense just for expressing his civil right to bare arms which they concluded should warrant premeditated when he should have at most been convicted of wreckless homicide which at max calls for 15 years. He has served 15 years already and is looking at having to finish 51 years before parole is eligible. Help him get his life back! Self defense should not call for my fiance to never have a chance at life on the streets but in this case the judge saw fit to take his life and imprison him for life. Please sign and support us so he can come home and regain the time he has lost with his children and family.
