Call for Independent Investigation Into the Death of Marchello Woodard
We respectfully request that the Pennsylvania Attorney General launch an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Marchello Woodard. This review should:
Bulleted list for clarity:
- Examine all evidence, reports, and communications related to the case
- Review the handling of the investigation by local authorities, including the Erie County DA
- Provide transparency and a public account of findings to restore community trust
- Ensure accountability for any misconduct or procedural errors
Why is this important?
The death of Marchello Woodard in Erie, PA, left his family and the community with unanswered questions and a sense of injustice. Independent oversight is necessary to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability in how this case is handled.We are concerned about impartiality in this case. The Erie County District Attorney appeared on a public podcast with the parole officer involved in my father’s death. This connection raises questions about a conflict of interest and makes it critical that an independent investigation be conducted to ensure transparency and accountability.
Why others should join:
- Community trust: When investigations are delayed or unclear, public trust in law enforcement and local officials is eroded.
- Accountability: Independent investigation ensures that any misconduct, errors, or mishandling are addressed.
- Justice for families: Marchello’s family deserves answers and closure, and your support helps amplify their voice.
- Prevent future tragedies: Oversight and transparency can help prevent similar cases in the future.
By signing this petition, you are standing with the family and the community to demand that the authorities act responsibly and transparently.
