Elliott White is my 2nd to the oldest brother. In 1997 he had just turned 18 years old, was an Outstanding athlete in Baton Rouge, La attending Woodlawn High School & with no previous criminal background, was charged with robbing a local Subway where he was an employee. The girl behind counter said that it seemed like the person that robbed the store knew their way around the store. She was asked to go into the walk-in freezer that had no lock on it & was told not to come out until the robbery was done. There was no evidence supporting that Elliott was the one that committed the crime. However, due to poor representation, after 7 months of incarceration at a local jail, his lawyer told him to plead guilty and hope for a light sentence.
To make an example out of him, he was sentenced to a 30 year sentence without parole for armed burglary and 21 years for kidnapping at Angola State Penitentiary. He has served 18 1/2 years as of December 17th 2015.
This HORRIFIC sentence has traumatized my family for years. While in prison we've lost our oldest brother, a navy veteran, in a car accident, our grandmother 3 uncles. On the better side The Creator is able.
PLEASE SUPPORT, NOT JUST WITH YOUR SIGNATURE BUT WITH YOUR HEARTS AS WELL.
We, the undersigned, call on the State of Louisiana for a retrial and to help us bring Elliott White home.
