The Issue

For my family, this is more than just a petition. It's a plea for justice and a fight against a system that failed my brother, Shane Lamond. 

We, the undersigned, respectfully ask President Donald J. Trump to grant a full pardon to Lieutenant Shane Lamond, a decorated veteran of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department who has been wrongfully targeted and convicted in a politically charged environment. My brother dedicated 23 years of his life to serving and protecting the citizens of our nation’s capital, rising to the rank of Lieutenant and he commanded the Intelligence branch of the Metropolitan Police Department. He served with honor, integrity, and a strong commitment to public safety, even in the most turbulent and divisive times in our nation’s history. While performing his job diligently as an intel police officer, he was tasked with gathering critical intelligence vital to keeping the residents of the District of Columbia safe during protests that became increasingly violent. He did his job to gain the “trust” from Individuals in order to get vital information, in which was reported to the proper individuals within the departments. A witness for the government described Shanes  actions as “helping the investigation”. He was wrongfully convicted of obstruction and making false statements to federal officers. However, the real crime here is the flawed judicial system that failed to protect an innocent man. 

Shane's conviction was spearheaded by Judge Amy Berman Jackson, a figure notorious for her prejudice judgments that are often reported to be influenced by personal beliefs rather than objective evidence or law. This bias clearly tainted the trial's outcome, rendering a verdict that was far from just.  My brothers conviction is not a reflection of justice—it is a result of an increasingly polarized political system where a public servant’s job can lead to professional and legal persecution. As a police officer in an overwhelmingly partisan setting, Shane became a target. His decades of service, leadership, and loyalty to the Constitution deserve recognition—not punishment. We urge President Trump to review Shane Lamond’s case and acknowledge the clear political motivations behind his prosecution. This is not merely about a pardon for Shane but about casting light on the deeper issues in our justice system that allow such miscarriages of justice to persist. We need your support to right this wrong. To bring Shane's case to the attention of authorities who can enact change- President Trump and the DOJ. Your signature can help us do this. Please, sign this petition and advocate for the pardon of Shane Lamond. #PardonShaneLamond
