Dear Friend,


Tears are streaming down my face as I write this e-mail. And when I
tell you what’s happened, you’ll understand why I’m
heartbroken…

…and I pray you’ll take 30 seconds out of your day right now to
give me a glimmer of hope by signing this EMERGENCY PARDON PETITION
[[link removed]]
to bring my husband home before Christmas.

The Missouri Courts just upheld the unjust manslaughter conviction
against my husband, decorated Kansas City Police Detective Eric
DeValkenaere.

You see, my husband is a victim of the radical anti-police movement
sweeping our nation.

And he just lost what we believed was a slam-dunk appeal. Although the
Missouri Attorney General agreed Eric is innocent, woke anti-cop
prosecutors and the defund the police mob somehow still won

Now Eric sits in a jail cell for a crime he did not commit – locked
away from our 3 children and me – unless Missouri Governor Mike
Parson pardons him.

THAT’S WHY I’M ASKING YOU TO SIGN THE EMERGENCY PARDON PETITION
RIGHT NOW.

Please let me explain…

On December 3, 2019, the Kansas City Police Department observed a red
pick-up truck chasing another vehicle through the city streets.

Officers unsuccessfully attempted to catch the truck – and had to
involve the department’s helicopter to track it.

The chopper tracked the car to the backyard of a home – and my
husband and his partner were the first to arrive at the scene. Eric
approached the passenger side of the pick-up and his partner
approached the driver’s side, both shouting commands at the driver
to STOP and SHOW HIS HANDS.

My husband saw the suspect reach toward his waistband and grab a
handgun, pointing it directly at his partner. Fearing the suspect
would shoot, Eric discharged his firearm four times into the
windshield of the pick-up as it continued driving into the garage.

When officers entered the garage, they found the suspect deceased with
his arm hanging out of the window and his .45 semi-automatic pistol on
the ground. (A weapon they would later learn was stolen.)

No doubt Eric saved his partner’s life that afternoon – and
probably his own.

But instead of receiving an award for his heroic actions, Eric was
charged with Involuntary Manslaughter and Armed Criminal Action by a
District Attorney desperately trying to hold onto her elected seat on
the bench.

NOW I HOPE YOU CAN SEE WHY I’M ASKING YOU TO SIGN THE EMERGENCY
PARDON PETITION TO GOVERNOR MIKE PARSON.

When Jason Johnson at the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF)
told me they would continue to fight for Eric’s freedom, I was able
to take my first deep breath in days.

If you’ve heard of LELDF, then you already know they’re a
non-profit organization that supports and defends wrongly accused
officers like my husband. LELDF has helped dozens of men and women
in blue clear their names and win back their freedom.

It’s such a comfort knowing there are pro-police patriots like Jason
at the team and LELDF…

…but without your urgent action today, Eric will be locked in prison
for the next 6 years… 6 Thanksgivings, 6 Christmas, and 6 New
Years… 6 birthdays for each child… 6 wedding anniversaries…

I still can’t wrap my mind around the full magnitude of what this
miscarriage of justice means for my family. I just know every time I
think about the future without the man I love – the father of my
children – my heart cracks more.

THAT’S WHY I’M URGENTLY ASKING YOU TO SIGN THE EMERGENCY PARDON
PETITION TO MISSOURI GOVERNOR MIKE PARSON TODAY.

Eric should have been commended for his service and life-saving
actions that day, not convicted and sentenced to years in prison!

The reality is we can’t get back the last few weeks Eric has been
sitting in prison or the nearly four years this nightmare has hanging
over our heads.

But with your help today, we can bring my husband home in time to
enjoy the holidays with his three children.

SO PLEASE, WON’T YOU TAKE JUST 30 SECONDS OF YOUR TIME RIGHT NOW TO
SIGN THE EMERGENCY PARDON PETITION TO GOVERNOR MIKE PARSON?

After signing the petition, please make a generous donation to LELDF
to fund this petition and the legal defenses of 12 officers (including
Eric) they currently support.

Remember, LELDF is able to support wrongly accused and convicted
officers like Eric because of the generosity of patriots like you.

Friend, to say it’s been a difficult few years for
our family would be an understatement. But with a pardon the final
option to secure Eric’s freedom and restore his good name, I’m
begging you to SIGN THE EMERGENCY PARDON PETITION TODAY.

Thank you in advance for your continued prayers and support.

Gratefully,

Sarah DeValkenaere

P.S. Without your immediate action, my husband Eric DeValkenaere – a
decorated Kansas City Police Detective – will spend Christmas, New
Years and every holiday for the next six years behind bars. Our three
beautiful children won’t have their biggest cheerleader at their
graduations, maybe even their weddings. My best friend is locked away
– and the only way to get him out is to get Missouri Governor Mike
Parson to pardon him.


WILL YOU PLEASE TAKE 30 SECONDS RIGHT NOW TO SIGN THE EMERGENCY PARDON
PETITION AND HELP ME FIGHT FOR ERIC’S FREEDOM?

I hope you’ll also make a generous, tax-deductible donation to
LELDF. No matter what, please pray for Eric and my heartbroken family.

_More such officers who sacrifice so much for will face similar fates
unless we speak out and stand up for the brave men and women in blue.
The next time you see a police officer in your community, please thank
them for their service. To read more about our mission or the other
Law Enforcement officers we're defending, please visit www.leldf.org.
