Imagine sitting in a jail cell for I55 days with no bond when the only evidence against you is a ticket for an unrelated window tint and someone saying you weren’t in a gang.

That’s where my friend Sergio finds himself today after having his bond denied for the third time despite there being zero evidence that he committed a crime.

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of meeting Sergio aka Gunna. He appreciated my interest in criminal justice reform and asked me to take a look at his cousin’s case. Since his incarceration, I have worked with his legal team and the facts of his case are yet another example of why the “justice system” is any thing but just.

Some of these facts include:
*prosecutors alleged witness intimidation yet not a single person has said he threatened them or had anyone else threaten them.

*prosecutors alleged he’d had a nurse sneak
him drugs yet the nurse says this is untrue and
there is zero evidence it happened

*prosecutors alleged he was in a gang based on
a witnesses testimony but when you read that
testimony it says specifically that he is not in a
gang and the witness doesn’t really know him
and the interview is 3 years old

Even though there is no evidence tying him to a single crime, or showing that he is a risk to the community, Sergio had his bond denied once again today. His trial is set for January but will likely be continued meaning he will sit in jail even longer.
Sergio deserves better and we all should demand better.
