John, Real Justice backed
District Attorney George Gascón is showing exactly what is possible if we
elect more progressive DAs in just 5 days. 

Just last week, George freed Maurice Hastings.

Maurice was convicted of murder in 1988 and sentenced to life in prison
without parole — but ever since his arrest, he continued to maintain his
innocence.

And just last month, crime scene DNA was matched to a person who was not
Maurice. He was and IS innocent. George immediately vacated his conviction
and released Maurice from prison.

Maurice is now free thanks to the Los Angeles DA office’s Conviction
Integrity Unit — one of George’s top priorities since we helped elect him
in 2020.

Maurice is only one of the TENS OF THOUSANDS of people who have been
locked in jail for decades for crimes they didn’t commit. This is why we
do this work. We need more DAs like George who understand the justice
system is far from perfect and fund Conviction Integrity Units to free
wrongfully convicted people like Maurice.

Freeing wrongfully convicted people is on the ballot this year — and in 5
days we have the opportunity to elect 9 more prosecutors ready to join
George and our two-dozen other elected prosecutors in this important
fight.

in these final 5 days ahead of Election Day. Can we count on you to make a

Maurice’s case is far from unique. And in other cities where we have
elected pro-civil rights DA’s, we are seeing the same kinds of results —
freeing folks who were trapped in prison for wrongful convictions.

Kim Foxx, a Real Justice DA In Cook County, which includes Chicago,
announced that her office exonerated 8 people from murder convictions this
year.

All of these cases were connected to a corrupt and disgraced Chicago
Police Detective, Reynaldo Guevara. In fact, DOZENS of his cases have been
thrown out.

1 of those 30 cases put an innocent man in prison for 30 YEARS.

Guevara had been accused of manipulating investigations and framing
victims — ruining lives — but these wrongfully convicted people finally
went free because we helped elect and re-elect Kim Foxx and she is doing
the work to right his wrongs.

Kim has also thrown out over 100 convictions connected to another former
police Sergeant — Ronald Watts — who also planted evidence and fabricated
charges.

THESE are the kinds of DAs we need in every single city and town across
the country, restoring justice and not allowing the system to keep
innocent men and women locked away.

[ [link removed] ]And you can ensure we can continue our work to get them in office.
Make a donation right now so we have the resources to elect even more DAs
like George and Kim next Tuesday.

In solidarity,

Real Justice
