FREE DEWAYNE TUGLE

Wrongly convicted and unfair sentencing of men and women in the Mississippi Court System.

Why is this important?

I'm writing you today because I believe in mystics and that everyone, regardless of past history, deserves a fair chance. I am specifically speaking about our unfair judicial system in Mississippi. I am not an attorney or a judge but a loved one of a man that's been wrongly convicted but our justice system. This one man's story should definitely give you the courage to stand for what's right and free an innocent man. This man is Dewayne Ledale Tugle. Dewayne is currently serving a 38 year sentence for a crime he proclaimed his innocence of from the start and still does to this day. After previously serving time for a charge committed at the age of 17, Dewayne was released only to be charged with attempted armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a felon and felon fleeing, within a month of being free. Dewayne was never identified in the photo line up and the victims actually picked someone else who fit the description given by the victims. Tugle was released on bail and lead a church going productive life during this time. Months later he was indicted for felony fleeing and possession of a firearm by a felon but was not indicted on the robbery charge because he was not identified, still the victims of the robbery were allowed to testify to seeing a black man with a gun even though they couldn't identify him to be Tugle. This gun, not only was never found on Tugle's possession but his finger prints were no where on the weapon. After a mistrial on those charges the district attorney requested that the charges not be dismissed and allow him a chance at a conviction and the judge did just that. Months later at the hearing in the judges chambers all charges were dismissed and Tugle was told he was free, Not a week later Dewayne was picked up on a Capias warrant, indicted on felony fleeing and possession of a firearm by a felon (dismissed charges) and 2 counts of armed robbery stemming from the previous charges where he was never identified on, the victims were allowed to make an in court identification, changing their statements and identifying Dewayne now as the assailant, this being two years later Dewayne beat one of the armed robbery charges but was found guilty on everything else and sentence to 38 years. Tell me where is the justice in this, I only ask you to think of Dewayne as if he was one of your loved ones and how would this affect you. He has not found any justice in the appeal process and needs the love and support of family and friends. Read his case and see for yourself. May God Bless you and help Free Dewayne Ledale Tugle.
