I am coming to you for you help in a situation that is killing our communities off one youth at a time! Falbert Lee Jones is a young man that has fallen into the traps of a system seeking to imprison him for 30 years for a crime that he didn't commit and has no substantial evidence to convict him of any crime!!! He is being railroaded by the Gwinnett Co. Judicial System.

Here is a letter to me from his hurting mother,

"...The witness stated that they brought L.J. out in handcuffs at night before they showed him the photo lineup; the police did what was called a "show-up" which is illegal. The witness description of the "so called" suspects does not fit L.J at all. They stated the heights of the suspects was between 5'8"-5'10" and 6'0"-6'2", neither of these heights fit L.J who is 5'2". They did not take prints or pictures of the crime scene, they did not recover a weapon, they didn't do a physical lineup and he had an alibi the morning of the crime in question. Basically what we have here is a case of racial profiling and eyewitness misidentification and a first time offender who was given 30 years for a crime he did not commit. Where is the justice in this? THERE IS NONE! If you are young and black in Gwinnett County, Ga you are subject to be railroaded and charged for a crime you did not commit. Let's stop the injustice..."

We must rally together to bring national attention to this problem! Please click on the picture above or the link below to sign our online petition for his immediate release!

also, the cost of the defense for his case is taking a financial toll on the Jones family, so please donate what ever amount you can to help!
