Free Clarence Aaron!

In 1992, Mobile, Al. native Clarence Aaron, was a linebacker at Southern University in Baton, Rouge, La.
Like many young men who grow up in the state of Alabama, he had dreams of one day playing in the NFL.
Then one day he made a mistake that would alter the course of his life.
And now, he's serving three life sentences in a federal penitentiary.
Did he commit murder?
No!
Did he rape someone?
No!
His crime was arranging a drug deal for the sale of nine kilos of cocaine.
For his part in "arranging" this deal, Mr. Aaron was paid $1500.

Wait a minute............
Do you know what a kilo of cocaine was selling for in 1992?
It was selling for $18,500! (or so I was told) *side eyes*
And he agreed to "set up" this deal for only $1500?
That alone, should've told the authorities that he really wasn't involved in the deal.

But Mr. Aaron's biggest mistake (alone with being present during the sale of the nine kilos) was, he chose not to testify against his friends.
That's right!
He didn't want to be "A SNITCH"!
Well, guess what happened.
The people he didn't want to snitch on-snitched on him, and received a reduced sentence.
(that should be a lesson to all of you who believe in that "No Snitching" mess)

Now, at age 42, Mr. Aaron-who has served 18 years in prison-is petitioning President Obama to commute his sentence.
A few years ago, his attorney, and supporters petitioned the previous administration and was denied.
Documents show that the reason it was denied was because the pardon attorney, Ronald Rodgers (who by the way, still works for the department of justice) withheld key information that would have possibly freed Mr. Aaron.
Mr. Rodgers also failed to include in his report that the lead investigator, the prosecutor and the judge who presided over his case, were all in favor of Mr. Aaron being released from prison.

Let's pray that this administration takes a long, hard look at this case, and come to the conclusion that Clearnce Aaron has paid his debt to society, and should be a free man.
