Dear Mr. Obama,
This letter is in regard to Freedus Warren Wilton II (A4006196). He is serving a lifetime sentence without the possibility of parole in Aiea, Hawaii. I dont really know where to turn. I dont even know if this letter will ever be read. I just have to try because it's someone's life and it is about justice. I created this petition to get noticed by you because I understand you recieve thousands of letters everyday. The petition showed me that others (not just myself) still believe in the American way, of justice for all.
This is a plea, a request to Pardon an innocent man. Too much time has passed without justice being served. Something needs to be done.
On April 13, 1998, a jury found Freedus Warren Wilton II (A4006196) guilty of the following offenses are what Freedus was charged with: Burglary in the First Degree, Robbery in the first degree, Attempted Murder in the First Degree, Place to Keep Firearm, Carrying or Use of Firearm in the Commission of a Separate Felony and Use of Deadly or Dangerous Weapon in the Commission of a Crime.
The sentence (life without parole) for attempted murder is too harsh. Then, tack on the fact that a jury based their findings on circumstanial evidence, no motive and NOT hearing crucial information that proves (due to MS) Freedus cannot outrun three adult men as assilant did. Freedus was NOT represented fairly or if at all. If you read the court transcripts (Wilton VS The state of Hawaii) online, you will clearly see this.
Extensive testing for fingerprints, DNA, no blood, hair samples or other physical evidence linking Freedus to the crime could not be proven.
Appeals have been filed but once again mishaps with law/system prevented any success.
Please help in this matter. Please find it upon your heart to investigate this and see that justice is served.
Freedus has served in the US Navy and has a deep commitment to our country. He has been a model inmate during his time in prison. He has engulfed himself in learning more about God, the law and anything to keep his mind from growing stale and negative. He is a very respectful person who still believes in the judicial system and doing what is right no matter what the circumstances.
Freedus' has already served a great portion of an unjust sentence for a crime in which he has always maintained his innocence. He has done it in a peaceful manner without any further disciplinary actions while incarcerated. As his health condition continues to deteriorate, we look to you for help.
He is an important part of our large family that includes 60 first cousins. Many years have passed and he has missed out on numerous family events. Most recently, the death of his mother. It is our hope that he would spend time with his aging and ill father (he has cancer and heart problems) before he too reaches the end of his life. If Freedus was to be pardoned, he would have the full support of our family to be an ideal citizen.
Additionally, Freedus' health is not good. He suffers from symptoms associated with MS and he recently had a hip replacement limiting his mobility. In this condition, he will certainly not be a threat to society.
I have sought other avenues to help Freedus but as you know it can be timely and not all applications to the innocence project or wrongful convictions may never be seen. As time is of essence, I respectively request your help in this matter.
Thank you so much,
