Justice 4 Richard Barge
The Issue
Richard Barge (SBI #000165368D) has spent the last 18½ years fighting to prove his innocence. After a full investigation by New Jersey’s Conviction Review Unit (CRU), the Director of the unit reportedly recommended that Richard be exonerated. Despite this recommendation, Richard continues to wait for justice.
We are asking supporters to stand with Richard by signing this petition and contacting the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office at (609) 292-4925. Respectfully urge Attorney General officials, including Jennifer Davenport and those responsible for reviewing wrongful conviction cases, to take action and ensure that justice is not delayed any longer.
Every call, signature, and show of support helps bring attention to Richard’s case and the need for a timely resolution. Please help us amplify Richard’s voice and demand accountability, fairness, and justice.
Thank you for your support.
