Repost from @deevaughn555 • from @justice4lakeithsmith As you share posts and speak out for those that were brutally murdered by the police and the criminal justice system, don’t forget about the living that have had their lives taken away from them by the same system. #lakeithsmith is serving a 65 year prison sentence (recently reduced to 55 years) after a police officer killed his friend in #alabama because of the #felonymurderrule which unfairly targets black / brown men and boys. With your help, we have raised the initial goal of 30k for the Rule 32. But we need your help raising funds for the trials and/or appeals that will follow. A hearing has been set for 11/19/21 with Attorney Leroy Maxwell representing him. At this hearing, the judge will determine if Lakeith is elegible for retrial in Elmore County. If he rejects the Rule 32, we are anticipating a long appeals process to the state and federal courts where Lakeith’s case has the potential to set a federal precedent. We are fighting for Lakeith’s life and need your help! Please donate a #dollarforlakeith and help us raise the legal defense funds for the retrial and appeals. Gofundme justice for Lakeith Smith - Thank you! #stillbreathingcantlive #massincarceration #blm #cjreform #restorativejustice #genocide #policeshooting #policebrutality #equality #bts #kimkardashian #meekmill https://www.instagram.com/p/CVfjv7DhB5v/?utm_medium=tumblr
