Reader wants justice

| December 30, 2011 5:00 AM

I've written letters to Grant County committee concerning my injuries I received by a police officer. I was charged like a criminal an given two strikes. This was all a cover up to charge me to cover up beating I recieved from officer. I've been given a death sentence. There you have in our courts similar cases of drive bys, rape, murder in the past two years others get a slap on the hand if you're the right race. So many young hispanic boys serving 25 to 40 years. I speak the truth say what you want see how many hispanics go to prison waiting an appeal. There so much police brutality going on, our counties wish to ignore. Our courts are over crowded people's trials take almost about a year what about the right to a speedy trial. We're judged by race, many label as gang bangers others are freed for drive bys, rape an murder if your the right race you'll get off by our courts it's like winning the lottery. It's been two years I haven't seen my son that was convicted for guns that weren't his a jury wasn't allowed to see statements made that guns weren't my son. Because I know I have a criminal record waiting an appeal. I never had a record just tickets. Who pays for my injuries and doctor bills. Where's the justice juries are used to do the court's dirty work.
