Danny was first arrested in Sept. 2016 at the age of 13 for vandalizing a school trash can lid. Between Sept. 2016 and March 2017 he sustained three other misdemeanor charges, including resisting arrest. In mid-July, he was arrested for a parole violation and remains in custody at juvenile hall. Danny is facing a total of up to one-year and eight months in detention for low level MISDEMEANORS. He missed his eighth grade graduation and will miss all of his Freshman year and some of his Sophomore year. Danny is a bright kid, who should be in high school preparing for college, rather than growing up behind bars. Before his arrest, Danny lived with his unemployed father in an RV. His mother left the family when he was three.
I met Danny through a volunteer organization at the end of June 2017. His lawyer, who took on the case pro bono in July, and I have been fighting to get him released. His next hearing is on Nov. 29. We have identified an expert witness, whose testimony we believe will help get Danny released.
We are asking you to help subsidize the cost of the expert witness, along with the numerous court filings, which his lawyer has paid out of pocket. Please share this request with your friends.
Thank you,
Debora
