My father has been falsely imprisoned for 33 years in the state of Florida. Our family, including myself, has been affected by this and is forever changed because of it. When my mother was pregnant with me, my father was accused and charged with sexually assaulting his niece in 1983.

In 1989 the "victim" in the case changed her story of events multiple times during the investigation and while on the stand under oath. As did her father (my father's stepbrother) and his mother (the victim's grandmother). 

At one point during the trial, my mother and the defendant's attorney's wife (my father's attorney) overheard the prosecutor and the "victim's" father and grandmother coaxing her on what she was to say, how to say it when being questioned on the stand. The "victims" father and grandmother were both questioned during the investigation and on the stand. Both times that they were questioned they both lied and changed their story multiple times. 

In the state of Florida, the law states that Perjury is defined as a “criminal offense otherwise known as of making false statements under oath. In common law, only a willful and corrupt sworn statement made without sincere belief in its truth, and made in a judicial proceeding regarding a material matter, was perjury. Today, statutes have broadened the offense so that in some jurisdictions any false swearing in a legal instrument or legal setting is perjury.” See reference Chapter 837 Perjury http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0800-0899/0837/0837.html

Under Florida state law reference 837.02 Perjury in official proceedings states:

(1) Except as provided in subsection (2), whoever makes a false statement, which he or she does not believe to be true, under oath in an official proceeding in regard to any material matter, commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(2) Whoever makes a false statement, which he or she does not believe to be true, under oath in an official proceeding that relates to the prosecution of a capital felony, commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(3) Knowledge of the materiality of the statement is not an element of the crime of perjury under subsection (1) or subsection (2), and the defendant’s mistaken belief that the statement was not material is not a defense.

The "victim", her father, and her grandmother's "stories" of events did not add up. No story was the same. The three of them all had a different version of what had happened. The juror's job is to look at ALL the evidence. Not just one side of the evidence and that is it. 

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? When it came to DNA evidence, there was none to support the claims of sexual assault. When you consider that the three of them all had a different version of events, there is no DNA to back up their accusations, that is NOT a fair trial. 

Help my father get his conviction dismissed on the basis of perjury, we ALL can free an innocent man from prison who has been falsely imprisoned. If we do nothing, we are not doing our duty as honest citizens of this country and we're not being true to God as his children. An innocent man will remain in prison for the remainder of what little life he has left to live.

We would appreciate your help!!!! Help free my father who has maintained his innocence for over 33 years!! Please!
