We are asking for your support in demanding the case of Robert Earl Council be reopened. Please support by signing and sharing the petition. In addition please send a letter addressed to District Attorney Tarbox at 103 S. Edwards Street Enterprise, AL 36330 to demand the case be reopened.

The case of Robert Earl Council demonstrates the devastating consequences of systematic failures. Mounting evidence of prosecutorial misconduct and racial bias demand a fresh and independent review of this case. 

The Case for Reopening

Prosecutorial Misconduct: Evidence suggests that crucial testimony presented to the grand jury and during the trial may have been fabricated and key witnesses have since recanted their testimony, claiming they were coerced by law enforcement to provide false statements.
2. Racial Bias: The systematic exclusion of African Americans from the jury and the appointment of a defense attorney with close ties to the victim reveal troubling racial bias. 
Why This Matters

Justice should never be compromised by prosecutorial misconduct and racial bias. Every person deserves a fair trial, free from racial inequities and prejudice..

Our Demand to District Attorney Tarbox

Conduct an independent investigation into allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, racial bias and provide a public accounting of the findings and take appropriate steps to address any injustice.

By doing so, you have an opportunity to restore faith in the Coffee County justice system and ensure that no individual is wrongfully convicted. We urge you to stand for fairness and accountability.

Together, we demand justice. Free Robert Earl Council.
