(TRANSLATION) : Not sure if you know but Jay-Z used of all its influence on the US magistrates to reduce the sentence of his cousin Emery Jones, stopped in an investigation of traffic of stops
One Love / La lettre (Jay-Z version)
Jay-Z is a good dude…
L’info vous a peut-être échappée mais Jay-Z a usé de toute son influence auprès des magistrats US pour réduire la peine de son gars Emery Jones, arrêté dans une enquête de trafic de stups.
Il a donc envoyé une lettre au juge (le doc en image) en expliquant qu’Emery était un mec solide et qu’un job l’attendrait à sa sortie, foi de Shawn Carter.
Apparemment ça a marché puisque le mec a gagné 37 mois de remise de peine (mais il reste en conditionnelle jusqu’en 2015)
Peut-être qu’Emery a les pires dossiers sur Jay-Z, mais en attendant saluons l’effort du général qui n’oublie pas ses soldats.
Free Sex Trafficking Victim Sara Kruzan
Sara, who was once her elementary school’s student body president, met the man who would become her pimp when she was just 11. After acting as the father figure she never had for two years, he raped Sara at age 13 and trafficked her into the commercial sex trade.
For the next 3 years, from 6pm to 6am, strangers would pay Sara’s pimp to rape her and other adolescent girls he recruited and preyed upon.
Finally, physically and psychologically traumatized, Sara snapped. She shot and killed her pimp.
Her punishment? Life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The sentence was handed down by a judge in 1994 against the recommendation of the California Youth Authority, and before there was much awareness about the violence of child trafficking or an appreciation for the trauma of adolescent sexual and physical abuse.
The sentence was extreme and unjust. And it can now be overturned by one man: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Governor Schwarzenegger is leaving office at the end of the year, and will soon be considering clemency petitions. In response, there is a grassroots movement building to call on Governor Schwarzenegger to commute Sara’s sentence to time served.
Join the movement to ask Governor Schwarzenegger to free Sara Kruzan now.
Tragically, the sexual exploitation Sara suffered is not unique. But what makes her case especially poignant is not just the injustice of her life sentence, but her response.
Rather than descend in hopelessness, Sara has found redemption in jail and become an inspiration to all those around her. She has graduated from high school, is on her way to completing her college degree, and started the prison’s Committee for Youth to serve as a mentor to younger women. She was recently voted “Woman of the Year” at her prison.
However, without intervention from Governor Schwarzenegger, Sara will likely die in prison.
Don’t let this happen. Sara has more than paid her debt to society with 16 years of incarceration. It’s time to set her free.
Call on Governor Schwarzenegger to free Sara Kruzan now.
