wrongfully incarcerated Mr. Antonio Jones

I. THE WRONGFUL CONVICTION OF ANTONIO JONES

 My hope is to share my story, as I have been fighting this for over 17 years, I want to raise awareness of an unjust penal system and poor representation, and a life-wrenching outcome.

A. INTRODUCTION:

MY NAME IS ANTONIO JONES AND IN (2004) AND AGAIN AFTER MY CONVICTION WAS REVERSED IN (2011), I WAS WRONGFULLY CONVICTED OF A QUADRUPLE HOMICIDE AND SENTENCED TO SERVE (240) YEARS IN PRISON. FOR THE PAST (17) YEARS I HAVE MAINTAINED MY INNOCENCE.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, MY HEART SINCERELY GOES OUT TO THE FOUR PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILY WHO LOSS THEIR LIFE ON THAT TRAGIC DAY, BUT I HAVE NEVER HARMED, KILLED OR ROBBED A HUMAN BEING IN MY LIFE.

B. MY WRONGFUL CONVICTION RESTS UPON UNRELIABLE EVIDENCE:

MY WRONGFUL CONVICTION RESTS SOLELY UPON THE FALSE AND PERJURED TESTIMONY PERJURED TESTIMONY BY ONE WITNESS, LENZO AARON, III AND ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER EVIDENCE LINKS ME TO THIS CRIME. LENZO AARON'S TESTIMONY WAS AT ODDS WITH NUMEROUS ITEMS OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.

IN FACT, THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT IN JONES V. BASINGER, 635 F.3D 1030 (7TH CIR. 2011), FOUND AARON'S TESTIMONY TO BE: " INHERENTLY UNBELIEVABLE" AND "INCONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER EVIDENCE". SEE JONES, 635 F.3D AT 1054.

 I AM TELLING MY STORY TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE LACK OF JUSTICE, AND CORRUPTION IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM WHICH PLAGUE THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
