Robert Lawton Turner, identified by DOC #1010920, is enduring an unjust and disproportionate punishment at the Carolina Correctional Unit Number 2. This petition seeks to address the cruel circumstances and demand a fair reassessment of his case. While Robert deserves accountability, the intricacies and context of his situation have been misunderstood, leading to severe consequences.

Robert's ordeal began with a simple phone call. A barber informed him about a woman willing to rent her apartment for a fee. Robert, assuming this was a straightforward transaction, proceeded to make arrangements. However, unbeknownst to him, this encounter was a setup orchestrated by an insidious plot. Shortly after settling into the apartment, the woman's boyfriend attempted to rob him, brandishing a water gun. In an act of self-defense and confusion, a tragic altercation resulted in the boyfriend's demise.

Before judgment is cast, it's crucial to understand Robert's side of the story. He did not have prior knowledge of the woman or her boyfriend, nor was he seeking any illicit activity. He was a victim of a dangerous setup by individuals who saw him as an easy target. Robert's immediate reaction was to flee, driven by fear and confusion, unaware of the grave consequences that would follow.

Robert's actions may warrant some penalty; however, the severity of his current sentence is disproportionate to the incident's circumstances. The lack of context and consideration for Robert's lack of intent or premeditated harm has resulted in an unjust punishment that must be rectified. The legal system must consider the full narrative, acknowledging his right to self-defense and the absence of malicious intent.

Excessive sentencing costs taxpayers greatly, and Robert's continued imprisonment does not contribute to a safer society. Instead, we should focus on equitable justice, acknowledging the complexity of his situation while holding the actual perpetrators accountable for their schemes.

We urge the necessary authorities to reassess Robert Turner’s sentence, acknowledge the context and protect his right to fair treatment. It is time to correct this grave injustice before more lives are shattered by a flawed judgment.

Please sign this petition to show your support for justice and compassion in Robert's case, ensuring that the punishment aligns with the reality of his actions and circumstances.

They didnot give him proper indictment inwhich he has filled several times.

He lawyer committed sucide right after trial. So he definitely deserve a redo or  even the case out for a self defense.
