Hello! I'm Brad and I've decided to take action and start this campaign for my very good friend S'dayleah. S'dayleah is married to Travis Underwood, an innocent man who 12 years ago was sentenced to spend the rest of his life confined within the Michigan DOC.
Travis was found guilty on no more than tainted "circumstantial" evidence in the form of heresay from a majority of questionable characters, so inconsistent and contradictory were their statements that the Michigan Court of Appeals even recognised the differences. The Prosecutor twisted, bent and manipulated people's words in order to fit the scenario they were crafting, stringing together portions of people's statements and relying heavily on prison snitch testimony in an attempt to manufacture a guilty man.
An example of what is being dealt with here sees that no forensic evidence found linked Travis to any of the crime scenes, fingernail scrapings tested found DNA belonging to 2 seperate males, Travis was EXCLUDED as a match. There was an absence of blood evidence, evidence of chemical residue, fingerprints, fibres and any further factual evidence, this should raise enough reasonable doubt, but Travis's motion for a forensic investigator was denied, he was not afforded an expert to properly investigate all forensic evidence and speak before the jury thus violating his right to build his defence, sadly Travis was not afforded much of anything to defend himself.
There are a lot small details that are extremely significant, this is quite a complex case but S'dayleah has amounted substantial evidence that proves law officials failed to properly investigate, intentional acts of misconduct from the prosecutors office, abuse of judicial discretion from the then presiding judge and absolute ineffective assistance of counsel...the reality of the situation is that Travis Underwood was unjustly represented, and was not afforded a fair trial and that's what we need, a new FAIR trial with ALL the facts this time!
I've watched S'dayleah work tirelessly on Travis's case, pushing herself, dedicating her time and energy to investigating, researching and organizing every aspect of the case, if there is something she doesn't know about then she will learn about it and her perseverance has lead her to uncover some rather important information that needs the attention of an attorney who knows how to handle wrongful conviction cases, unfortunantly it's been tough for S'dayleah to compile the funds needed to get an attorney on board, she does her best to take care of 3 children with special needs as well as manage her own health, afford the medication used to treat her rare neurovascular disorder, maintaining the home; food, water, electricity, gas etc and making sure Travis has his necessities. I've started this campaign for S'dayleah because I've never in my life seen her so defeated and I know she and Travis need this help more than anything.
All contributions will go directly to the attorney and when paid in full a receipt will be posted.
We are all optimistic that solid evidence has been uncovered and now Travis just needs that attorney to get his foot back in the courtroom door to fight the corruption, right his wrongful conviction and go home to take care of his wife and children who need him.
Without you and your support Travis may never get the attorney that he needs. Travis and his family would be eternally grateful for your help in this fight to reclaim his freedom. If you are unable to donate today please share this campaign, your help in getting the word out is just as valuable, no gift is too small.
We all wish to thank you in advance, now lets start the ball rolling and bring this innocent man home!!
