Change.org Petition: Jailed 5 years without a trial - Protest This Human Rights Violation!

Tevin Hill was arrested in August of 2017. He has been in prison since then — 5 years of his life — but no charge against him has ever gone to trial. His sister started a petition because her family is out of options. Tevin’s constitutional right to due process is being violated, and it seems like there’s nothing they can do about it. Sign to call on Florida police to make this a fair trial or to let Tevin come home. Protest This Human Rights Violation! 854 have signed Janecia Hill’s petition. Let’s get to 1,000!

Hi, my name is Janecia Hill and my family needs your help. My brother, Tevin Hill has been incarcerated for 1,757 days with NO TRIAL DATE in sight. He was arrested for a crime he is innocent of and unfortunately there is a crime still unsolved today due to the lack of police work on behalf of the Dougherty County Police Department. My brother is one of hundreds if not, thousands of men and women across the country who have been arrested and have their human rights stripped away. There is a HUGE injustice on both sides from policing to judiciary action. There is absolutely no reason it should take a case this long to make it to trial.   The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, the Due Process Clause, to describe a legal obligation of all states.due process of law. n. a fundamental principle of fairness in all legal matters, both civil and criminal, especially in the courts. All legal procedures set by statute and court practice, including notice of rights, must be followed for each individual so that no prejudicial or unequal treatment will result.(https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/due_process Throughout the course of this case there has been extreme bias towards the justice department in processing, scheduling and overall following due process of the law.  My brother has 3 small kids who NEED him. We have been patient, we have been more than fair with allowing the law to do their part, now it’s time for us to USE OUR VOICES! I cannot sit quietly while my brother wastes away in jail cell. Please sign this petition to share your support for human and civil rights for all. My goal is to receive 5,000 signatures by August 1st. Change starts here, now!
