Dear John,

A police officer is facing up to 65 years in prison for the “crime” of attempting to prevent a gang member from potentially retaliating against a rival, in the immediate aftermath of the George Floyd riots of 2020.

In October of 2020, Officer Sutton received a report that a gang member, Karon Hylton-Brown, was believed to be entering a local neighbor to retaliate against a rival gang.

Officer Sutton saw Karon illegally driving a moped on the sidewalk and activated his emergency lights to pull him over.

Being a criminal Karon immediately fled, and Officer Sutton pursued him.

After a brief chase Karon drove down an alleyway and out the other side recklessly into oncoming traffic where he was hit by a vehicle.

He then died a few days later.

Black Lives Matter and other defund the police movement groups immediately called for Officer Sutton to be tried for murder.

And they managed to charge and convict Terence Sutton with second-degree murder.

Officer Sutton is an innocent man. Will you step up and fight for him?

Terence Sutton took after his father, who was a career police officer, and joined the force.

He had been serving in the same community for the past 13 years. And had even earned Metropolitan Police Officer of the Year award in 2012 for his dedication and service to the community.

But now he has become the victim of anti-police agitators, who whipped up our cities into a frenzy and create a modern-day lynch mob to convict an innocent man.

Terence Sutton shouldn’t spend a moment in jail for serving his community. That’s why the LELDF is stepping in to help him appeal this gross miscarriage of justice.

Will you chip in $35, $50, $100, or more to fund Officer Sutton’s appeal and overturn this miscarriage of justice?

Washington D.C. is a big city, and we need to get the best of the best to clear Officer Sutton’s good name which won’t be cheap.

Our board has estimated this case will cost us up to $80,000 to work Sutton’s case over the next 6 months.

I’m not asking you to cover the whole $80,000, although it would be an incredible blessing if you could.

When it comes to clearing Officer Sutton’s name, every dollar and every penny counts.

So, if you can step up through a contribution of $35 or more today it will go a long way towards getting Terence Sutton the justice he deserves.
