MY CRIME: Kidnap for robbery with the use of a firearm. MY SENTENCE: Life, plus two years, with the possibility of parole after 7 years.

I AM REQUESTING YOUR ATTENTION, VOICE, EFFORTS, AND RESOURCES TO JOIN WITH MINE, AND MANY OTHERS, TO MAKE SURE THAT JUSTICE IS ATTAINABLE FOR ALL.
Since 1988, I have [include education, job skills, mainly non-disciplinary, no drugs, spiritual relationship, etc.] Needs to be concise, focused and conclude w/ a strong paragraph as to why people should support and why you should be freed.
