Officer James Burns

This officer has waited 8 years for his day in court.  It’s finally coming soon.  Will you stand with him?

Dear Friend,

Eight years is a long time to wait for anything…

…but to wait eight years to go on trial for doing your job – that’s just insane.

Unfortunately, that’s what former Atlanta Police Officer James Burn faces, which is why I’m humbly asking you to stand with this good man today.

But first, let me quickly give you the facts:

  • On June 23, 2016, James responded to a call about a suspect breaking into a parked vehicle.
  • When James arrived on the scene, he watched a person matching the suspect’s description enter a vehicle – so he activated his emergency lights.
  • The suspect immediately drove his vehicle directly at James’s police car.
  • Fearing he would be struck by the vehicle, James tried to stop it by discharging his weapon one-time­.

Tragically, James struck the suspect and killed him.  Soon after, the Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney charged James with murder.

Now here we are eight years later and James is finally scheduled to go to trial this fall.

Friend, will you donate $35 or more to help LELDF fund James’s defense?

James’s case is as political as it gets.

The DA who charged James in 2016 ran for re-election on the issue of prosecuting cops.

Now the current DA is Fani Willis – the same prosecutor who brought election interference charges against President Donald Trump.

It won’t shock you to learn Fani Willis is also as anti-cop and progressive as they get – and after so much time and taxpayer dollars spent on this case, her office can’t dismiss the charges against James!

Now that you know what James is up against, please donate $35, $50, $100, or more to make sure we can provide James with the best possible defense.

James and his extended family have already invested well over a million dollars into his defense over the last eight years. Their resources are depleted.

LELDF is James’ only chance to receive the defense he deserves.

So please, give generously today to help us support this good officer.

Thank you for your support of our men and women in blue.

Gratefully,
