Dear Friend,

I need your help today defending an innocent police officer who defended himself against a violent criminal…and is now facing an unjust felony charge.

Before I get ahead of myself, let me explain:

Around 12:30 am on November 12, 2022, Senior Police Officer Daniel Sanchez responded to a 9-1-1 call about a man with a gun who was shooting indiscriminately into a home. 

When Daniel arrived, he immediately encountered the suspect, Rajan Moonesinghe, standing on a porch with an AR-15 style rifle in his hands pointed at the open door of a house.

He shouted to the suspect, who had already fired two shots into the house, to drop his gun. When the suspect refused, Daniel had no other choice but to fire his weapon to stop the imminent danger to himself and to the innocent people in the densely populated neighborhood. 

Within a minute of being shot by Daniel, police officers performed life-saving measures on the suspect but were unsuccessful in saving him.

Even though Daniel followed his training, notorious Travis County District Attorney José Garza assembled a grand jury to him. Now Daniel is facing a third-degree felony charge which could land him in prison for 10 years.

A decade of his life could be robbed from him for the whims of a politically motivated prosecutor.

Do we have any decency left in this country?

I’m asking you for  your help today defending Officer Daniel Sanchez. Just a $35 gift will be immensely helpful towards his defense, but if you find it in your heart to give $50, $100, or even more, I know he and his family would be so grateful.

Officer Daniel Sanchez grew up in a law enforcement family. So he and his family were already well aware of the sacrifice it takes for someone to become a police officer. 

Even now, after facing third-degree felony charges for doing his job, Officer Sanchez wants nothing more than to return to the profession he loves and continue to serve and protect his beloved community.

Officer Daniel Sanchez was and continues to be a good and innocent man who acted justly in a horrible situation. Any objective district attorney would have said that Daniel’s actions were self-defense and justified.

Make no mistake – Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza is conducting a witch hunt against Daniel. 

There’s only one way to save him from going to prison where his life will be threatened every day by the criminals he helped put behind bars… and that’s to win his trial. He has a superb
legal team but lawyers are expensive.

That’s where the National Center for Police Defense (NCPD) comes in. NCPD helps innocent police officers and military personnel who’ve been unfairly charged for their actions. National Center Police Defense is committed to helping and standing by these truly innocent officers. They don’t receive a dime from the government. One hundred percent of our funding comes from private donations.

Daniel’s family has already drained their bank account to help Daniel, but his family doesn’t have the resources they need to pay for an expensive legal defense that will win an acquittal. 

Please consider donating $35  to Daniel’s defense fund through National Center for Police Defense.

This whole case started because of the radical District Attorney who wants to make a name for himself by targeting police officers.Officer Sanchez proudly, honorably, and professionally served his community.

Daniel needs his life back. It shouldn’t be destroyed because he didn’t allow himself to be murdered.

Every day for him  is overshadowed by the dark truth that the next ten years of his life could be spent behind bars.

So please, don’t delay in giving him a bit of hope with your tax-deductible gift of $35 or more today!

Thank you for your kind support of our nation’s law enforcement.

Gratefully,

Jim Fotis
