The Issue

Imagine spending half of your life in prison for a crime you did not commit. Thirteen long years that you can never get back, every long day and long night, wasted away in a rotting cell...

David Yarde, a man wrongfully convicted and unjustly treated by a flawed system, has spent 13 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. The consequences inflicted on Yarde are a stark portrayal of a justice system that is in dire need of reform. David lost 13 years of his life that he can never recover, due to flaws in the judicial system that must be addressed. This petition seeks to bring attention to Yarde's case and to prompt a formal review of his conviction. By doing so, we hope to cast light on the systemic problems that plague our justice system. Lend your voice to this cause and demand justice for David Yarde.

Sign this petition to call upon our law enforcement institutions to examine this case and answer why they prosecuted David when crime scene reconstruction experts and eye witnesses have testified of his innocence.
