Review Bryon Keith Blueitt’s Case After 31 Years
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Angel Lindsey, and I am the great niece of Bryon Keith Blueitt. I don’t usually speak publicly, but I am writing to humbly ask for your attention—and your help.
Keith has spent over 30 years in prison for a tragic incident that occurred when he was just 30 years old. While the legal outcome may have aligned with the laws of the time, it failed to account for the deeper truth of the situation: this was an act rooted in fear and self-defense, not malice. Keith was not a career criminal, nor a violent man by nature. He was a young Black man placed in a life-altering situation with no real way out.
Now, at 61 years old, Keith is no longer the same man. He is a devout Muslim who has spent decades reflecting, growing, and doing the inner work that so many never attempt. He is deeply remorseful for the pain that was caused. He has used his time behind bars not to give up, but to give back—to teach, to mentor, and to live with purpose and faith.
I am asking for a second chance on his behalf. Whether through clemency, parole, or sentence review, I am pleading for someone with the power to revisit this case and consider the full person that Keith is today—not just the person he was decades ago. He poses no threat to society. If anything, he is someone who could help it heal.
I know there are many names and many cases, but I ask you not to let his be overlooked. Even sharing this story is difficult for me, but I do it because I believe in mercy, in growth, and in redemption. Keith deserves the opportunity to live out the rest of his life with dignity, peace, and freedom.
Thank you for listening—and for caring enough to consider taking action.
Sincerely,
Angel Lindsey
Great Niece of Bryon Keith Blueitt
Why is this important?
Other people should join me in this campaign because Bryon Keith Blueitt’s story is not just his own — it’s a reflection of a broken justice system that too often punishes people for a lifetime without acknowledging growth, change, or context.
Keith has served over 30 years in prison for a tragic act rooted in fear and self-defense. He was 30 years old when he entered prison. He is now 61 — a reformed, spiritual, and peaceful man who has spent decades taking accountability and bettering himself. If we believe in rehabilitation, redemption, and second chances, then this is exactly the kind of case that deserves support.
By standing up for Keith, we’re standing up for fairness, for human dignity, and for others like him who have been forgotten behind bars despite doing the work to change. Your voice could help restore a life that still has purpose and potential.
Even a simple share, signature, or conversation can help bring attention to his case. Together, we can remind the system that people can grow — and they do deserve to be seen as more than their worst moment.
