This is a petition to help aid in funds for the best possible private criminal defense lawyer to support Anthony Calco.

As many of you know, Anthony is in a California holding facility. Without the means of retaining a private attorney, Anthony is being represented at this time by a Public Defender. He has been incarcerated for 1 year and 5 months. He has not been sentenced to any specific time yet, but he is very close.

On friday, January 20th, Anthony went to his arraignment. His lawyer informed him beforehand that the District Attorney would likely offer him another deal, but this time the deal would be something like 10-13 years. Anthony decided, despite all of his efforts in fighting the justice system for just a chance of freedom, that he would accept this plea offer. Unfortunately, his Public Defender was wrong.... very wrong. The district attorney offered Anthony a plea bargain of 25 years in prison. Obviously he was very shocked and declined the offer. What does this mean now? This means that he is potentially going to trial for this case. He could get sentenced for the maximum amount of time in a trial case (which is something crazy like 75 years to life if I'm not mistaken). So, as you can see, the situation has become very serious. Anthony has spoken to some close family and friends about his thoughts and what he needs. He is very sad and depressed right now and he says that all he wants is proper representation. He wants a lawyer that believes in him and that can help him win this case. To no surprise, the justice system in the U.S is very corrupt and unjust. You are guilty until proven innocent. But I know that this man, my brother, deserves a real future. He has always been a light and a huge support in my life. I will move mountains to help Anthony, but I know that I don't have the strength to do this alone. I need your help.

I know many of you have been aware of this situation for a long time, and you have all helped so much by sending your prayers, askings, and best wishes to Anthony, my family, and myself. I am very grateful for all of your love and support. But now, I am asking publicly, with everything that I have, if you could spare even a dollar to help Anthony so that he might obtain a private lawyer, your support would be immensely useful and deeply appreciated.

Anthony continues to lift us up with his positivity, and he continues to learn and grow while fighting through this process.

He needs a better lawyer, a better presentation of the facts and another opportunity at life. Please help us, help Anthony by contributing to his search for a private lawyer fund.

Please give any amount, anything you can. No contribution is too small, every dollar helps. You can make a difference.

WE ARE COMMITTED! And we hope you will be too. WE ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS TO DO THIS.

Thank you for your love, prayers, askings, and support.

With lots of affection,

Regina Calco


Esta es una petición para ayudar a juntar fondos para conseguir el mejor abogado posible para la defensa del caso de Anthony Calco.

Como muchos de ustedes saben, Anthony se encuentra en un centro de detención en California. Sin los medios para pagar por un abogado privado, Anthony está siendo representado en este momento por un defensor público. Ha estado encarcelado durante un año y 5 meses. No ha sido condenado a ninguna sentencia hasta el momento, pero el momento viene mu rapido.

El viernes, 20 de enero, Anthony fue a su comparecencia. Su abogado le informó de antemano que el fiscal del distrito probablemente le ofrecería otro trato, pero esta vez el trato sería algo así como 10-13 años. Anthony decidió, a pesar de todos sus esfuerzos en la lucha contra el sistema de justicia por sólo una oportunidad de libertad, que aceptaría esta oferta de súplica. Desafortunadamente, su defensor público estaba equivocado ... muy equivocado. El fiscal de distrito le ofreció a Anthony un trato de 25 años de prisión. Obviamente estaba muy sorprendido y rechazó la oferta. ¿Qué significa esto ahora? Esto significa que potencialmente va a juicio para este caso. Él podría ser sentenciado por la cantidad máxima de tiempo en un caso de juicio (que es algo loco como 75 años de vida si no me equivoco). Así, como puede ver, la situación se ha vuelto muy seria. Anthony ha hablado con algunos familiares y amigos cercanos sobre sus pensamientos y lo que necesita. Él está muy triste y deprimido ahora mismo y dice que todo lo que quiere es representación apropiada. Quiere un abogado que crea en él y que pueda ayudarle a ganar este caso. Para no sorprendernos, el sistema de justicia en los Estados Unidos es muy corrupto e injusto. Uno es culpable hasta que se demuestre que es inocente. Pero sé que este hombre, mi hermano, merece un futuro real. Siempre ha sido una luz y un gran apoyo en mi vida. Moveré montañas para ayudar a Anthony, pero sé que no tengo fuerzas para hacer esto sola. Necesitamos tu ayuda.

Sé que muchos de ustedes han sido conscientes de esta situación durante mucho tiempo, y ustedes han ayudado tanto enviando sus oraciones, pedidos y mejores deseos a Anthony, a mi familia y a mí. Estoy muy agradecida por todo su amor y apoyo. Pero ahora, estoy pidiendo públicamente, con todo lo que tengo, si pudieras donar aunque sea un dólar para ayudar a Anthony a conseguir un abogado privado, tu apoyo sería inmensamente útil y profundamente apreciado.

Anthony continúa levantándonos con su positividad, y continúa aprendiendo y creciendo mientras luchamos por este proceso.

Anthony necesita nuestra ayuda. Creemos que pudiera estar en casa en un tiempo razonable si recibe una representación adecuada.

Por favor, se puede contribuir con cualquier cantidad, lo que se pueda. Ninguna contribución es muy pequeña, cada dólar ayuda. Tu puedes hacer la diferencia.

¡ESTAMOS COMPROMETIDOS! Y esperamos que también tu lo estarás.
SOLO TENEMOS 30 DÍAS PARA HACER ESTO.

Gracias por su amor, oraciones, pedidos y apoyo.

Con mucho afecto,

Regina Calco
