Legal Defense Fund — Prosecutorial Overreach in a Traffic Altercation
What started as a minor traffic dispute in a parking lot in August 2023 has turned into a two-year legal ordeal. The other driver — who initiated the confrontation — sustained a minor injury after slipping and falling. Despite video footage from a nearby store showing I did not strike him, I was charged with felony assault.
The DA's office has refused to review the exculpatory video and has pushed for trial despite multiple attorneys and the victim's own initial statement all contradicting the charge.
I am a construction worker, a father of three, and I have never had so much as a speeding ticket. A felony conviction would end my career and my ability to provide for my family. My public defender is overwhelmed. I need private counsel who can fight this properly and force the DA to actually review the evidence. Your support is everything.
