our cases

Free Marvin Guy

Marvin Guy has been in jail for seven years — without a trial — facing charges for allegedly killing an officer during a senseless no-knock police raid that endangered everyone involved, thinking he defended himself against an intruder.

The penalty is execution. It will take all of us to save his life and get him free.

Free Julius Jones


UPDATE: JULIUS JONES WILL NOT BE EXECUTED! After massive public pressure, Gov. Stitt commuted Julius’ death sentence. But Julius will still face life in prison without parole — it’s a horrific injustice, but it gives Julius and his team a chance to keep fighting for his freedom.
