A lot of you may already know that the catalyst for the change.org petition I started for my husband was when three witnesses stepped forward with information about the true culprit of the crime for which my husband was falsely accused. In this excerpt from one of the affidavits we filed as new discovery evidence in April, the perpetrator's best friend explains that the perpetrator was actually about to go to jail on unrelated charges, when he confessed how he committed the crime for which Leonard was wrongfully convicted. It's important to remember that wrongful convictions are not only difficult for all parties involved, but they also put society at risk and in danger. Because of the corrupt actions of the Mobile PD and Mobile DA, Ashley Rich, the person who actually carried out this crime continued to commit other crimes, as a free man on the streets, while an innocent man, my husband, sat in prison. We, as a whole, will be safer when the right people are put in prison, based on an unbiased system. Let's get to 10,000 signatures together and HOLD MOBILE, ALABAMA ACCOUNTABLE!
