Justice For Jose Velasco

We are trying to raise money to provide my brother Jose Velasco with a lawyer. He was beaten by Salinas Police on June 5th. He's facing criminal charges and the officers who beat him are facing no charges. Justice is needed he has mental illness & does not belong in jail.

On June 13, a demonstration seeking justice for Jose Velasco was held on North Main Street in Salinas, the location where the 28-year-old was tased and beaten aggressively with batons by police officers with the SPD on June 5. Velasco's three sisters and his mother, Rita Acosta, were in attendance at the demonstration, as were the families of three of the men killed by Salinas police in 2014.

Velasco's beating, and subsequent arrest, was captured on video by multiple witnesses on June 5 after the Salinas resident was seen walking into the traffic lanes of North Main Street and exhibiting erratic behavior. Acosta was with her son that day, and she attempted to get him out of the street, but was not able to. She called emergency services for medical help (Click here to listen to her call), and individuals watching in cars on North Main phoned emergency services as well. Five officers with the Salinas Police Department arrived. Velasco was tased almost immediately, and then the police proceeded to beat him with their batons. One officer continued to hit him after he was pinned to the ground. Velasco was eventually transported to the hospital and then to jail.

Before the demonstration on June 13, Velasco's family visited him in jail. His sisters said he is still seriously bruised, and one said he has a "hole in his leg" that had to be "filled" with gauze bandages.

His family members have all been seriously affected by the incident, and were visibly exhausted and deeply hurt themselves. One of Velasco's sisters says she keeps seeing the video of the beating, and hearing her mother's 911 call, over and over again in her head. She said she is having trouble concentrating as a result.

Acosta herself works in the field of Homeless Services and said she never expected to experience something like this with the police.

Those at the demonstration are demanding better training for Salinas Police Officers. One sign held by individuals stated, "CIT Training Needed" and another read, "Mental Illness is Not a Crime."

Acosta held a sign that read, "Un Año Sin Justicia, No Es Vida" which refers to those killed by Salinas police in 2014.

The father of Frank Alvarado, Frank Sr., held a sign that read, "S.P.D. Cops Abusing Their Power - No Respect."

Frank Alvardo was killed by Sergeant Brian Johnson and Officer Scott Sutton, both of the Salinas Police Department on July 11, 2014.

Also in attendance at the demonstration were relatives of Carlos Mejia, who was killed on May 20, 2014 by Sergeant Danny Warner and Officer Josh Lynd, both of the Salinas Police Department, and Angel Ruiz, who was killed on March 20, 2014 by Sergeant Mark Lazzarini, Officer Daniel DeBorde, and Officer William Yetter, all of the Salinas Police Department.

Fighting A LIE

Hello, I am from Pascagoula, MS. I graduated from Moss Point High School in 2013. I moved out my mom’s house the same year into an apartment with my girlfriend. While staying in Biloxi in our apartment, my girlfriend's sister and I got into an argument because she assumed her sister and I had been fighting. We were arguing, she pushed me I pushed her back. She then began swinging at me; I just stepped out of the way. As she walked outside, she called her dad saying I pushed her.

Her family came to our apartment, her brother dashing full speed at me while I am telling him to calm down let me explain. Her father came sprinting around the building toward me as well, so I began running. I took off running; sprinting fast as I could. Her brother just a few feet behind me as I make a sharp turn around a corner, my gun (which was a small version 9mm) fell out of my jacket pocket onto the ground.  I then picked it back up and continued running forward, trying to put the gun back into my pocket. As her brother hits the turn behind me he slips and fell to the ground, gets back up and charges me again. I never saw an officer, nor did I point the gun at anyone, I just ran.
I lost the two family members because I continued running. 2 hours later I came out but someone had called the police back out to the house and I was arrested.  I asked what am I being charged with. He says I pointed a gun at him. That, of course made me very upset because that is something I would never in my life do. I wouldn't even point a gun at my girlfriend’s brother or father even though I was in a self-defense situation. I still wouldn't put there life endanger. As I was running, the officer never announced himself. The officer never said stop, police. If I would have heard that or even seen a cop I would have stopped, because then I would have known no harm would be done to me. I am innocent and I am fighting a big lie. It’s a lie and my family cannot afford to pay 3500 for a lawyer to prove I am innocent.
I am asking for any type of donation that can help.

Help Me Throw My Case Out And Support My Parents

(*Names have been changed to protect the innocent*)
 
So this whole sad story begins with a former friend of the family, April. Her and my mother were co-workers years ago when I was a child and became fast friends. Fast forward a few years, she has a daughter, Samantha. A third party introduced April to her current husband, Brent, and his three(?) children, Susie, Mark, and Thomas.
 
It has been clearly established in time (read: there's physical evidence and court documentation) that Brent is an abusive husband and potentially father.
 
The first time my family has heard anything similar to the nature of my current case is that Thomas - age about 11-13 at the time - was outright molesting Susie - age at the time about 7 or 8. For reference, I was about 14 or 15 at the time, I'm not certain on the dates. We (my family) never heard about allegations again outside of that one time, perhaps one other time was mentioned, but I can't recall. They certainly never pursued criminal charges, that much I can be certain of.
 
The next immediate time I had heard something about this was when Samantha abruptly had said that I was touching her, out of the blue. I was 21 or 22 at the time. My family and I had been around since Samantha was born and found this to be, well, utterly unexpected; she was treated like my little sister. However, we hadn't heard anything since. Furthermore, we saw Samantha again a few times after this up until about August of 2014.
 
About February or March of this year, I was approached by detectives who were investigating these allegations. Had I known, I would have told them to leave, but since I knew that I had done nothing wrong, I complied to have them ask me questions. I had figured that at worst Samantha had said she had walked in on me once or twice attending to things that no child has any business being around. Regardless, my answers, despite being vague at best, were used against me grossly out of context, and were placed on an affidavit for my arrest; it was served at my job shortly after clocking in on June 2nd, about 10:30 PM.
 
I won't go into specifics of what they say I did, but... it's gross. Depraved. But regardless, the specifics were so shockingly out of character, we're all amazed it's come this far.
 
In fact, the affidavit is so shoddily constructed on lies, I had difficultly believing there was a rhyme or reason to any of it. But shortly I was released, all the pieces had suddenly fit into place, and I now understand what and why this is happening to me. Sit tight for my explanation of events.
 
As I mentioned earlier, it was revealed that at some point in time, Thomas was accused of touching Susie. What I suspect happened was that at one point, Thomas had started touching Samantha as well, but this didn't have the same ending as the last one; April had probably threatened Brent with taking HIS son to court for touching HER daughter, but Brent retaliated, more than likely violently. It goes undisclosed for a while. Another possibility is that Samantha lied about it all to begin with; she's been noted to "wanting to be more like her stepsister". Regardless...
 
Some time goes by, and perhaps Samantha walks in on me doing something. Perhaps she mis-remembered something else, or outright made something up. Regardless, my name is suddenly on April and Brent's mind, and they hatch a diabolical plan: blame me for EVERYTHING, and sue for a lot of damages and restitution.
 
Now, if that were the entire story and they stuck to that, admittedly, it'd be hard to fight, but winnable in court. However, the affidavit is filled with so many lies upon lies, it was not unlike trying to untangle a nest of controllers and cables - you just didn't have anywhere to start working at a glance. Lies like my parents being methheads, lies like Mark confronting me about anything, lies about April and Brent confronting my parents about anything, lies about Samantha telling me to stop touching her; even me MEETING Susie and being alone for any amount of time is a gigantic lie!
 
For that reason, I fully expect my case to be dropped entirely when my side of the story is told, or worst case, I'm found not guilty after many needless months of trial.

Please Help Me Defend My Parental Rights

I am awaiting to appear for an evidentiary hearing in August regarding Grandparent Visitation in Indiana. I had moved an hour and a half away last July with my son, who is now 12, and my boyfriend to help my boyfriend's mother. She had had a heart attack and was no longer able to care for herself. My mother had regular visitation with my son at the time, despite the distance. Soon after school began my son began failing his classes and he began lying and acting out at home. I started receiving emails and phone calls from his teachers, stating that he was going to fail their class. I needed to find out why. It was unlike my son to fail his classes and his conduct at home was also unusual. I told my mother that he would not be able to spend the night at her house until his grades improved. She still had visitation. We would drive to her house to visit and to have dinner and vice versa. She was able to talk to my son on the phone as well. She was unhappy with the amount of visitation that I was allowing until he raised his grades, she threatened to take me to court if I did not comply with her demands of overnight visits. There were many arguments between her and I. Multiple times I had to end her conversations with my son because she would make him cry. Her last visit she cornered my son and myself in a bedroom to tell us that she was taking me to court for visitation. This of course upset my son and myself and she was asked to leave. We had to call the police before she would leave. From November 1st until our first court date in December, she called over 100 times. She threatened me that my son would be taken away from me if I did not give her what she wanted. Since then, I have spent well over $6,000 to defend my choice as a parent to disipline my son for his grades and conduct, even though the only visitation that I denied my mother were overnights. I was granted a protective order, but settled to an agreement of no contact. She has violated the no contact agreement several times. She was also ordered to see a therapist before she could talk to my son. We have an evidentiary hearing set for August and my lawyer wants an additional $1500 for continuance of his services. This has placed a great financial strain on my family, we are currently in debt due to this, and for an addition $1500 to be ask from us... We are at a loss as to how to pay it. Since I stopped all contact between my mother and my son, my son has improved drastically, academically and his conduct at home. He went from failing is classes to finishing the school year with A's and B's. He also earned a science award.  I am now asking for the kindness of strangers to help me continue defending my parenting decision to help my son in school and at home. Please help.

Wrongful conviction defense fund

My name is John Evans and I was Wrongfully Convicted of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon in 2010.  I was sentenced to 5 years in prison of which I served a little over 4 years.  I have put together a strong case against both my accusers and the officer who arrested me.  All of which lied under oath on the witness stand at my trial, which I can now prove by their inconsistencies in their original police report and what they said at my trial.  My original lawyer did a terrible job representing me at trial by not attacking the lying officer and accuser's testimony.  Eight months after my trial the arresting officer was shot and killed while off-duty by a pimp and a prostitute after leaving a crack house in North East Houston http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Court-files-Deputy-constable-fatally-shot-after-1689300.php  In another article the cop was found with a pistol in his car that was registered in his mother's name.  When the investigators went to his mother's home to return her pistol she tells them she has never owned a pistol in her life.  This was clearly a "throw-down" pistol.  The dead cop should have had his police issued pistol on his person. 

 

     I am needing $10,000 for my Wrongful Conviction appeal to hire a different attorney and a Private Investigator to track down my two accusers to see if they are willing to recant their testimony and come clean about why they lied about me assaulting them.  It has been my belief all along that the dirty cop coerced my accuser into saying I struck them with my vehicle so as to get me more time if I was found guilty at my trial.

 

 

     Thank you very much,

           

              John W. Evans V.

Help Daughter & Father Reunite

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves in hard situations, which force us to seek help. I find myself in one of those situations; I am asking for your help to fund my battle in the family courts, so I can once again be part of my daughter Ruby's life.

 In short, my child's mother, the AOG and the family court have created a big mess that has left me with a bigger mountain to overcome. However, I am very determined to overcome the mess the mother and the AGO have created, and to never give up on my daughter Ruby. No 7yr old Daughter should sneak behind her mother to call her daddy and be punished for it. It tears me up that I am doing everything in my power to be in my daughter’s life to help raise her not only support her financially but support her mentally ,morally and also to protect her from all harm. 

I often find myself crying to sleep knowing everything I know about my Daughter's living and safety conditions, and to not know if she is ok. Until she can seek and call me. The courts have made it so expensive and hard for Fathers like myself to continue in our pursuit to be there for our kids. I have exhausted all my earnings just in filing a SAPCR and hiring the wrong lawyer and on many consultants. 

Finally I found a law firm that is experienced enough and I'm very confident they can help me and my daughter but the first step  is pretty costly. The first step is to file a Bill of Review in the court in where the Mother, AGO, and the judge created that  big mess in filing on the wrong person without proving that he was the Biological father, they went with the mothers word on making their ruling. After that is fixed then second step is to amend my SAPCR petition in the court I originally filed on (separate courts) and continue with my case.  This is why I am on here asking you for your help, any help  is greatly appreciate it and I know my Daughter Ruby would also appreciate it. 

Thank you and may God Bless you.
