City Council Open Mic and Press Rally
What: Join HRC-Fed Up! and the Justice for Terrell Campaign for a rally, press conference, and speak-out at a Pittsburgh City Council meeting.
When: Tuesday, June 1st, bright and early
9:00 a.m. Meet on the steps of City County Building
9:30 a.m. Rally and Press Conference
10:00 a.m City Council holds meeting
11:00 a.m. Public Comment of City Council meeting, make your voice heard and speak out for justice for Terrell and others wrongfully convicted
Where: Pittsburgh City Council Building, 436 Grant Street, downtown
Why: Terrell Johnson has served 16 years on a wrongful conviction. He has been offered a plea bargain that would have allowed him to walk out of prison, but he refused it because he is innocent. Terrell was sentenced to life in prison
based on the perjured testimony of a corrupt witness who was cutting deals with the cops in exchange for favorable treatment in her own cases. Terrell has won a new trial that is scheduled to begin in August. The one witness against him
does not want to testify. Even if she does, her testimony has been proven false.
Terrell is being held illegally, in the absence of any evidence, for a crime that the police and District Attorney Stephen Zappala know he did not commit.
Please join the Justice for Terrell Campaign on June 1st and send a powerful message to immediately drop all charges against Terrell and stop wasting taxpayer money on false imprisonment and sham trials.
Demand justice and accountability for Terrell and all others wronged by the system. Bring your voice and your heart and be prepared to speak out.
