Free Michael Lynch... convicted despite NO INCLUSIVE DNA EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM.


Free Michael Lynch... convicted despite NO INCLUSIVE DNA EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM.
The Issue
JUSTICE FOR MR. LYNCH IS LONG OVERDO..PLEASE READ AND SIGN.
Michael Lynch has spent more than 20 years in prison for a crime HE DIDNT COMMIT and DNA test performed by the state did NOT link him to committing this crime, he's been unable to obtain parole because he simply will NOT admit guilt in a crime, he did NOT commit, so he gets denied for not taking responsibility before the board and has been denied twice thus
Michael was wrongfully convicted in 2000 of was participating in in the 1998 gang rape of a white female by 5 black youths in MD again with NO DNA EVIDENCE being found against MR. Lynch, he was still convicted... and sentenced to TWO LIFE SENTENCES PLUS 25 YEARS!!!
He was convicted of statements made by a codefendant promised a lesser sentence to turn on him AND the testimony of another man held in a bull pen with him on unrelated charges who was also promised lesser charges/or dropping of charges to testify against Michael and eventually his charges were dropped after testifying against Michael.
There were Brady violations in his case, as evidence was withheld from courts and with knowledge of such information could have freed Mr. LYNCH and spared him two decades in prison.
The DNA evidence was destroyed or so we have been told upon trying to obtain it for his post conviction hearings to support our case. Michael did NOT commit this crime, although he does acknowledge he failed to intervene on her behalf, out of fear of the other boys mainly the ringleader in the incident and unwillingness to participate, he left the premises and did NOT return.
Upon his reconsideration of sentencing, his sentencing judge was present in the courtroom to prevent him from getting justice in his case. There was misconduct on his behalf with removing motions and when questioned he claimed he couldnt give cause and he failed to object during the trial when he should have to protect his client and To top all this off. The judge, the prosecutors and lawyers were all friends and golf buddies also. Serious conflicts of interest not to mention his judge was also a the judge on a prior case of his where he sued the county and won big. The judge should have recused himself from Michael's case from the start.
Michael was railroaded in court and the judge clearly stated that he was going to make an example of Mr. Lynch and it is stated in his court transcripts also and being as though it was election time it was in his benefit to harshly sentence Mr. Lynch on this highly publicized case in Montgomery county Md. Many people were angry because Michael was the only one to take it to trial, he refused to take a plea for a crime he did NOT commit and he was sure the fact that he was innocent and the truth would set him free. Sadly truth and facts were not on his side. Politics, anger and racism won out.
IN 2000, he sentenced Michael to TWO LIFE SENTENCES PLUS 25 YEARS for a participation in a rape they themselves could NOT prove beyond a doubt he committed and have taken over 20 years of this mans life away.
