A jury found T-bone not guilty of all of major
charges. For three years, I’ve been unable to post online about T-Bone’s case because it may
have been used against him in court. The bottom line is the State of Arizona wanted
to put T-Bone away for life. The justice system in Arizona is extremely racist
and T-Bone is considered extremely dangerous because of his military training
as a Marine. To put T-Bone away for life, the prosecutor and Phoenix police
procured false witnesses against him, but the jury saw right through the lies. Before
trial, the prosecutor had warned T-Bone that he needed to sign a plea bargain
admitting guilt, and that if he did not and he lost at trial, the prosecutor
would ask the judge for a 145 year maximum sentence. T-Bone’s own lawyer, a
public defender appointed by the State of Arizona, urged T-Bone to admit guilt
and sign a plea bargain for a shorter sentence. Unwilling to admit to crimes
that he hadn’t committed and praying to God for a miracle, T-Bone managed to
win at trial even with all of the odds stacked against him by the crooked state
of Arizona. T-Bone has one minor charge remaining, which wasn’t filed by the
police in the amount of time legally required, so it looks like that charge may
be dismissed.

Is T-Bone free Shaun? Or `still stuck in the nick.
Just wondering if the food account is still in effect?
Thanks Darragh.
not quite free yet until he beats the last charge, but he's almost out of the woods
yes food account still in effect
Hurray, T-Bone!! :) If T-Bone does get released, hopefully the people in his life that care about him will watch out for danger signs that he's become "institutionalized". Hopefully, the people that care about him will help him fit back into free society, even though I suspect that might be a long, hard process. T-Bone cares about people too much, to have to be in the hell that is called, "Prison"...
