Although it was self defense, a jury recently found our friend Curtis/Hapa guilty of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon because he used a hammer to defend himself. His friends and I wrote letters and some testified at his sentencing hearing, convincing the judge to give him the minimum sentence allowable under Colorado law of 10 years. There is still a good possibility of getting the sentence reduced further to 6.5 years, but it is necessary to hire his lawyer to file a motion to do so.
He needs your help. The cost of defending himself through trial has exhausted the resources of his new wife, who is in and out of the hospital, suffering through the agonizing loss of her husband.
The cost to file the motion is $3,000.
If you know Curtis/Hapa, you know he would never attack a man. He is a kind soul, always willing to help others. He needs your help now.
