Many states including Missouri have
laws titled "Acting In Concert" or
"Acting together With Another" which
means one does not have to physically
touch anyone or be present to be
convicted as an "Accomplice". To bring
the point home more clearer I will give
two understand:examples for the public to

If two people commit a robbery and
one goes in to commit the robbery while
the other stays outside and during the
robbery someone is murdered, the
person who stayed outside will be
charged with the murder and will get
more time in prison than the person
who physically committed the murder
"IF" the state (prosecutors) believe the
person outside knew a robbery was
going to be committed. Missouri in
particular does not believe things "Just
Happen", their mindstate is if more than
one person is present during a crime
there's "PREMEDITATION" involved.

The second situation is more common
than not in Missouri and it also applies
to my situation. If more than one person
goes to a house to pick up some money
and during that time a fight breaks out
which leads to females being sexually
assaulted or attempted to be assaulted,
the person who refused to participate
or whom did not know the assault took
place all together until it was over will
still be charged as if he physically
touched the victim(s) and will usually
receivce more time in prison than the
persons who actually assaulted the
victims.

As for my situation, not only did I touch
the victims, the victims testified under
oath that I had absolutely nothing to do
with what happened, I didn't come to
room or spoke with the others. How is it
that I'm charged equally as the others
and given more time?

This is a epidemic throughout many
states including Missouri that has to be
cured of it's lopsided injustice coupled
with biases. There are hundreds of
juveniles who are in prison under this
law, there are hundreds of juveniles who
were with adults during a crime such as
robbery, assault, sexual assaults and
murder who did not physically pull the
trigger, physically sexual assault
someone, etc. however they are in
prison with sentences twice as long as
the adults they were with and the
juveniles not only didn't touch anyone,
they may've not known any crime was
to occur. All the prosecutor has to do is
"BELIEVE" the juvenile knew a crime
was "PLANNED" in order to be charged,
tried,touch the victilm himself.and convicted as if he literally

his law has to be given a second look
especially with juveniles. It's been
proven through scientific studies that
"JUVENILES ARE DIFFERENT THAN
ADULTS ESPECIALLY WITH
SENTENCING"! IF JUVENILES ARE
DIFFERENT WITH SENTENCING,
SHOULD NOT THE SAME APPLY WITH
WHATEVER ROLE THE JUVENILE HAD
IN THE CRIME. IF THE VICTIM TESTIFY
AT TRIAL THAT THE JUVENILE HAD NO
PART IN THE ASSAULT SHOULD HE
STILL BE CHARGED AS AN
ACCOMPLICE? SHOULD HE BE GIVEN
MORE TIME THAN THE PERSONS WHO
PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED THE VICTIM?
IF YOU THINK THIS IS A INJUSTICE,
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION
SUPPORT THE FIGHT FOR THOMAS TO
HAVE HIS SENTENCE REDUCED!

Thanks!
