John,
This — right here — is why we do the work that we do. Willie Stokes, seen
kneeling in this photo, has been in prison for 37 years for a murder he
didn’t commit. He’s been in there since 1984.

While his conviction has just been vacated, Willie might remain in jail
for a few more weeks or MONTHS, until everything is finalized.
What’s so painful, is that the ONLY man that testified against Willie was
later found guilty of perjury, for lying ABOUT WILLIE — but prosecutors
hid this from Willie and his attorneys.
It’s crazy. Every officer and prosecutor on this case should be penalized.
They should lose their pensions and law licenses.
Not only that,
John, but it has been discovered
that the Philly Police were offering incarcerated men SEX with women
they’d bring in, or offers to reduce their time, if they’d provide FALSE
TESTIMONY against men they didn’t even know.
It’s almost beyond comprehension. ALMOST.
But all too often, we know this is going on across the country.
We know there are people who are sitting in jail for decades, with
wrongful convictions, who don’t have someone like Larry Krasner who will
do everything he can to investigate and make sure these cases come to
light.
That’s why we do this work,
John. When we elect more
justice champions, we bring people home. We reunite families. We save
lives.
Your support of Real Justice makes that possible.

up the fight to elect these incredible leaders, free people who have been
locked up for decades, and stop this cruelty. When I see stories like this
one about Willie, it gives me hope that we can save more lives and make
sure people like Willie can finally go home.
I appreciate you,
Shaun
