John,

Our client Rosa Jimenez has been sitting in prison in Texas for 17 years for a crime she did not commit. She is suffering from Stage 4 kidney disease, and as long as she is incarcerated, treatment options are limited. Add your name to Rosa’s petition urging the DA to take action — and send her a note of support as she awaits justice. ([link removed])

In 2005, a toddler in Rosa’s care choked on wadded up paper towels and later died. Rosa was convicted of murder, but leading pediatric experts who reviewed the case have found that the expert testimony used by the state to convict Rosa was faulty, and all of the evidence points to this being an accident.

Rosa has always maintained her innocence and since her trial, top experts and judges have also concluded that she did not have a fair trial and is likely innocent. In the fall, a district judge overturned her murder conviction and ordered a new trial, giving the prosecution until February 25, 2020, to retry or release Rosa.

But the state is fighting to keep Rosa in prison and is appealing the decision — a process that could take years. Rosa’s health is at risk, and she doesn’t have much time to spend waiting. Travis County District Attorney Margaret Moore could act to end this injustice today.

Rosa deserves freedom and access to medical attention immediately. Add your name in support of Rosa, and you can also include an uplifting note to her. ([link removed])

Thank you for your support.
