Brittany has been detained for 34 months — nearly three years — without a trial.

She has no criminal convictions. She has offered strict conditions of release, including home detention, a verified custodian, no internet access, and court-approved financial monitoring.

Despite this, she remains incarcerated under a misapplication of federal bail laws and without any meaningful due-process review.

A Mother Separated From Her Son For almost three years, Brittany has been denied physical contact with her young son. She is only allowed no-contact visits, leaving her unable to hug, comfort, or hold her child since 2022.

This level of separation is typically reserved for convicted offenders — not for someone awaiting trial. Denied Medical Care

During her detention, Brittany has also experienced long delays and failures in receiving necessary medical treatment.

No pretrial detainee should be denied access to essential health care.

A Serious Judicial Conflict Threatens Her Right to a Fair Trial

The district’s former Chief Judge, who retired on May 16, is expected to be a witness in Brittany’s trial.

Yet the trial remains scheduled in the same courthouse he led, among judges and staff who worked under him.This situation raises major concerns under 28 U.S.C. § 455, which requires courts to avoid even the appearance of bias.

No defendant should have to stand trial in a courthouse where a former Chief Judge–turned-witness holds deep institutional ties.

Why These Violations Have Been Overlooked

Brittany is representing herself pro se, without legal counsel.

And because her case has received no media coverage, these violations have happened in silence — invisible to the public, press, and oversight organizations.

Without:a lawyer, media attention,or national scrutiny,prolonged detention, medical neglect, family separation, and judicial conflicts have gone unnoticed and unchallenged.

This petition helps break that silence.

WHY THIS PETITION MATTERS

Brittany’s case reflects urgent national issues involving:

Prolonged, unconstitutional pretrial detention
Denial of due-process protections
Judicial conflicts of interest
Medical neglect in custody
Severe family separation
Vulnerability of pro se defendants
Lack of media oversight

If this can happen to someone with no criminal history, no convictions, and no resources, it can happen to anyone.

WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR

We call on journalists, civil-rights organizations, legal advocates, and the public to:

Demand urgent review of Brittany’s 34-month pretrial detention
Support a change of venue to ensure a fair and impartial trial
Bring national attention to the due-process violations in her case
Ensure proper access to medical care for pretrial detainees
Recognize the human impact of three years of mother–child separation
Provide oversight for cases involving pro se defendants without a public voice. 

Your voice matters. Public pressure protects people when the system does not.

Stand for fairness.

 Stand for due process.

Stand for a mother who deserves her day in court.

Stand for Brittany.
