To: President Donald Trump
Incarcerated
Our brother Angel Luis Martinez Jr. inmate # 1897616 has been sent to jail for 50 plus years for something he did not do. He is sitting in a jail cell in Kennedy Texas. It was her word against his. He was not even put on the stand to defend himself and sent to jail in 2 days! This doesn't make sense! What happened to justice and being tried fairly in the court of law.
Why is this important?
We are starting this petition because we wait for an appeal which we have not heard from the lawyer as of yet. In the meantime he has been transferred 5 times, it not allowed to make phone calls. His mother has become sick and only remembers what happened to her son and only talks about the situation. He should be innocent until proven guilty. He needs to be heard on the stand and defend himself. How can our country allow people to be sent to jail innocently!!!!
