Imagine being an cab/uber driver or visiting an ER could result in being charged with murder. DNA is not a holy grail and if we fail to act, It could cost you.

We are requesting your help in the exoneration of Dayonte Resiles and demanding that the proper parties investigate and rectify the corruption on part of the Broward County Sheriff Office and parties of Broward County Judicial system. Dayonte is innocent and we intend to prove it to the world. On 03/16/2022 Dayonte Resiles was convicted for the murder of Jill Halliburton Suh. The DNA linking Dayonte to the crime was processed by Broward County Crime Lab who has a long history of egregious conduct and unethical practices. The Broward County State Attorney office is aware of this history and continues to disregard concerns about the crime lab. The bodies responsible for governing these agencies has shown an utter disregard for this alarming matter. In 2012 BSO forensic analyst Kelli McDonald became the subject of multiple investigations. She was first reported when cocaine in evidence was unable to be located. Ms. McDonald has analyzed 5,600 cases in her nine year career. Despite Ms. McDonald's questionable conduct, roughly only 25 cases were reviewed resulting in a reduction and or dismissal of charges. Ms. McDonald was placed on leave ultimately resigning. Broward Sheriff's Internal Affairs and General Counsel, and the Broward State Attorney's office investigated and ultimately found no wrong doing despite overwhelming evidence. In 2014 (Dayonte's DNA was processed in September 2014) forensics analyst Tiffany Roy discovered some concerns surrounding BSO's crime lab practices and DNA misinterpretation that could lead to false conviction. A report was made to the ASCLD-LAB in 2014; An unfavorable ruling was issued in April 2016. BSO's Internal Affairs and General Counsel and the State Attorney Office continued to remain indifferent. In 2019 BSO was again reported for misconduct and unethical practices by Forensic analyst Erica McFrederick to the Broward Office of General Counsel; The resulting findings are unknown at this time. For far to long the Broward Sheriff Office and the Broward State Attorney office of Florida has been using unethical practices in the assessment of DNA and the use of it in trials. On multiple occasions BSO has come under fire for the use of questionable practices that continues to be swept under the rug. Some of those practices include but not limited to calling inconclusive evidence conclusive, the use of faulty and or tainted DNA, hiring based on personal relationships etc. It is our firm belief Dayonte's  conviction is a result of faulty DNA evidence; This can cost him his life. The prosecutor's job is to pursue justice for the victim via collecting evidence from trustworthy resources, presenting factual evidence, maintaining honesty and integrity and prosecuting the party responsible. The Broward SA office has knowledge of BSO' crime lab misconduct and faulty evidence, but continues to use their evidence as standard. The misuse and misinterpretation of DNA not only threatens the integrity of a fair trial but is also a miscarriage of  justice and threat to public safety considering the guilty party evades justice and is free to reoffend. This is an issue that not only plague Broward County but other states and nations abroad. Juries are often led to believe that DNA is the Holy Grail of evidence being irrefutable. This is not the case; Ninety-nine percent of the time jurors don't have knowledge DNA alone is not enough to convict and should be coupled with other evidence or how DNA can be at a scene a person has never visited. Reasonable doubt is quite to often overshadowed by the belief DNA is irrefutable. This misconception and lack of knowledge has and continues to result in wrongful convictions. In the case of Lukis Anderson; His DNA was found under the finger nails of a murder victim. While the murder was taking place, Mr. Anderson was being treated at a hospital. It appears Mr. Anderson DNA had been transported to the scene via EMT equipment. In the case of cab driver, David Butler, a cab drive would turn into a conviction for murder and later exoneration. Mr. Butler suffered from a condition that causes excess skin shedding. It is believed his DNA traveled with the murder victim or murderer, placing him at the scene of the crime after a cab ride. In Dayonte's case there was no evidence to cohobarate the alleged DNA evidence, there was a 48 hour window where DNA samples were unaccounted for, DNA that appeared five years after testing, inconsistent testimony etc. During the period Dayonte's DNA named him as a suspect BSO's crime lab was reported concerning DNA miscalculations and later audited. As outlined in the Criminal Justice Standard; When there is a suspicion of misconduct and negligence, the lab and cases potentially involved should be audited. We stand on Dayonte's innocence! Dayonte deserves a new trial. We the people can no longer stand by and watch justice for the victims perverted, public safety threatened and the wrongly accused life ruined; Oops we'll pay you later if we're wrong does not suffice. We are demanding a prompt investigation into the complaint outlined in this petition. To preserve the integrity of due process, We demand that these parties are investigated and held accountable immediately.
