I know it has sometimes felt as if no one has cared; but I have been appalled by the injustice, from the arrest onward. After the perpetrator admitted to the crime, it became even more unbelievable to me that he would not be released. I participated with whatever efforts I have been aware of. I found this petition, by doing my periodic search--this time for "pardon for .."
Amatullah supported: Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard : New Trial For Imam Jamil Al-Amin FKA H. Rap BrownDavid Barnett’s story brought me to tears. He was 19 years old, was traumatized, had no support network, and was let down by every single person/resource available to him. He was a child . He was let down. This system has been letting us all down. It just deeply saddens me how prevalent sexual abuse towards children is in this culture and I feel like his story kind of highlights how the victims of these crimes suffer quietly while the aggressor has no consequences . Not addressing the source of this social ill (CHILD MOLESTATION AND CHILD ABUSE IF YOU ARENT SURE WHAT IM REFERRING TO) is leading to the perpetuation of these atrocities and the trauma cycles continue . David Barnett deserves to have parole hearings. Let’s try to make things a little bit better in this world?
Alexandra supported: Mike Parson: Free David BarnettWhat clinched this for me was the interview with his son's mother, AND, knowing the FACTS as I do (Because I'm not stupid... I did my research beyond Netflix, and, beyond the internet). He did not deserve a death sentence. But as far as the law goes, he did deserve life without parole. I can't think of any reason why I might understand what he did, but then, I haven't been through what he's been through. Those of "us" that have had beautiful childhoods can't even conceive what this man has been through. I keep thinking: what if it was my grandparents? My grandparents were my world. I thought I would die after they passed. But I can honestly say this: my grandparents wouldn't have believed me either, nor would they have listened to a word I had to say, had I been in his shoes. I, as I'm sure most people, can't even imagine. And this I believe is the problem: It is those of "us" who have no idea... "we" decided his fate, yet we have failed him his entire life. I have a feeling if he's granted parole, the hardest part about his life has yet to begin. His future isn't going to be easy. But we (us) owe him parole. Sincerely, Melissa Cummings Avila
Charles supported: Mike Parson: Free David BarnettMe and My wife just finished watching the episode about David. It had us disgusted and sick to our stomachs, hearing about the abuse and trauma he suffered as a child and young man. Recorded documents of abuse, his many attempts to get others to listen to the abuse he and his adoptive siblings endured under the care of that monster John Barnett. No one listened, no one intervened. The persons he thought truly loved him didn’t listen or believe him and that became too much for him to bear. We truly believe David didn’t intentionally mean to commit these crimes, his last plea for help for himself and others, swatted away like a fly and his already fragile mind ( from the abuse ) completely snapped. We believe David deserves a second chance at life and should be eligible for parole, the system definitely owes him that because it failed him time and time again and it’s the system that failed him that put him in this situation to begin with.
