In last week's sentence hearing, Pierre's defense could not withstand the tight conditions of the current plea deal attached to the wrongful charges. No family or friends were allowed to give character witness statements for Mr. Pierre during the sentence hearing, howeverJudge Karwaczka was obviously moved by Mr. Pierre's personal statement to the court. He spoke with compassion telling Mr. Pierre how he can appeal this decision with the applicable new evidence through a process called post conviction relief. Your continued support is invaluable to Zacarius and his family. Thank you to everyone who took the time to understand this situation and help us highlight the truth of what happened that day. Each signature gets us an inch closer to Mr. Pierre being home with his daughter. The next steps are already in motion.

God bless.
