Legal Support for Jason Elder

Greetings my name is Justice Cherry. I am an advocate for individuals who have encountered

extreme injustices throughout various judicial processes. I have in depth experiences in dealing

with prisoners and their families. Daily I spend time working on freeing the wrongfully

convicted or excessively sentenced. HELP ME FIGHT FOR JASON ALLEN ELDER, JR!

You ever wonder how this type of thing could happen?

Did you ever imagine what it would be like to be part of it?

Freeing an innocent person from jail/prison, you would do that if you could, right?

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to help?

Imagine being locked up for 18 years and 4 months as an innocent man!

Imagine knowing you didn’t do it! Imagine being convicted! Imagine being innocent!

Imagine every memory that you have had for the last 18 years and 4 months being memories of

prison!

This is the true-life case of an innocent man serving a life sentence for a crime

he did not commit! The life of Jason Allen Elder, Jr. Help me fight for his

JUSTICE!!

At the age of 17, Mr. Elder was wrongly convicted of two counts of Armed

Robbery in two different counties in Georgia. Whitfield County & Dade County. The counties

are 45 minutes apart. Jason was sentenced to life plus 18 years in 1999. He is currently 34 years

old and still incarcerated in at the Wheeler Correctional Facility in Alamo, Georgia. He had no

prior convictions and had just relocated to Georgia during the time of the robberies. Jason Elder

was setup and framed by Georgia Bureau of Investigations police officer Greg Ramey. When

acquiring about the robberies, Office Greg Ramey asked to take Jason’s photo and because he

was an officer, Mr. Elder didn’t think too much of it.

After that things, went downhill for Jason. He was arrested for a suspended license, to which he

served 30 days. A week later while in custody, Officer Greg Ramey charged Jason with 3 counts

of armed robbery in three different counties. (Whitfield, Dade & Catoosa). He was acquitted of

the Catoosa County case. We all know how hard it is to fight the cowards & liars within the

judicial system.

The judge denied the district attorney permission to use the evidence from Dade County case.

There was no evidence at all from the Whitfield County case. That itself is against the law &

violated Mr. Elder rights. The courts used three sweaters as evidence to convict Jason. However,

25 pieces of hair samples were removed from the the sweaters that were of Caucasian

descent. Jason Elder is an African American. The other catch to the evidence is the hairs were

never tested, nor were they used as evidence at the trial to prove his innocence. That is another

violence or civil rules of evidence and procedure! The Caucasian hairs found was enough

admissible evidence to prove Mr. Elder’s innocence. This is all unethical! There are so many

flaws and errors on the courts behalf regarding his case!

Mr. Elder was improperly represented and did not have a fair trial. The eyewitnesses were

coerced as well as their statements saying Jason committed the robberies. The videotape used

during the time of trial was unclear to identify any subject. The crime scene as well as the photo

array was tainted and unsecured from the beginning of the investigation. Jason had never

attended nor had he been at the convenient store of the Best Inn Motel. This was all due to him

allowing Officer Greg Ramey to take his photo. Jason was setup and charged for a crime he

never committed.

A couple of years after the trial, the videotape was successsfully enhanced by a forensic expert.

The expert was able to produce clear images of the two suspects involved in the robberies. After

comparing the images to the photographs of Mr. Elder, the expert concluded that one of the

makes is inconsistent. That statement alone exonerates Mr. Elder. The district attorney had been

privy to the findings since 2006, but made no effort to have the verdict overturned or redirected

to the courts for a new trial. The African American male wearing cornrows had a different nose

as well as a different shaped head than Jason Allen Elder, Jr.

Due to the lack of inadequate defense, the work to be free, has been on the defendant himself.

Yet without resources or skills meant to carry this burden due to incompetent experts, lying

witnesses and ineffective defense counsel Jason fight continues! April 2017 made 18 years that

Mr. Elder has been incarcerated as an innocent man. He had been patiently waiting to hear back

from the Georgia Parole Board. In July 2017, he received a letter from the parole board stating

he was denied. How cruel! Imagine the hurt and anger he felt inside knowing his innocence!!

From the beginning, Mr. Elder has maintained his innocence. He is not and has never been a

violent person. During his 18 years of imprisonment, Mr. Elder has remained focused on fighting

for his freedom. Of course, there is some bitterness, yet he stays positive and looks forward to

the day he will be free. However, Jason has spent all of his life battling for his freedom while

dealing with the daily struggle of survival in a maximum-security penitentiary.

Mr. Elder has a 18 year old daughter that he never had the chance to nurture, protect or be a

father to due to injustice. Imagine the pain as a man that he feels inside not being able to provide

and support his daughter. His only daughter has missed 18 long years of fun, growth and life

without her father that she has to visit in prison. No man or child deserves that! Jason looks

forward to working and being a productive member of society. He eagerly anticipates visiting

museums, spending time with family and most of all new beginnings with his daughter. He has

many friends and family members that supports his mentally and emotionally. Imagine the stress

and sorrow his family has felt all these years. Imagine the pain and longing for him to hug his

daughter.

There is nothing vicious or violent about Mr. Elder. He deserves to have freedom just like you

and I. A chance to follow his dreams, to live and love. All of these things have been stripped

from Mr. Elder. No one should ever have to endure such emotional pain, disrespect and

discomfort! Everyone has a limit on what they can bear. The trick is rebounding form collapse

with a sense of purpose. Everyday Jason wakes up dreaming of the end. Every day he focuses on

his freedom. Every day he imagines a future in which every day doesn’t begin and end with

being locked up inside a concrete box. Mr. Elder deserves what was strong from him and hopes

this bad dream will be over forever. HELP ME GET JASON ALLEN ELDER, JR FREE FROM

INJUSTICE TO JUSTICE AND HOME WITH THOSE THAT LOVE HIM!!!!!!

He looks forward to the basic things in life that we often taken for granted! I know that times are

tough and that everyone has many bills to pay, yet any amount helps. There is no amount too

small! The funds will only be used to help Mr. Elder seek an appellate attorney that can

grant him his life back despite of the 18 stripped years!! The purpose of this gofundme is to

help free Jason Elder and to aware each of you Mr. Edler’s wrongful conviction and to

seek your help in donations to get Mr. Elder proper legal representation so that his case

can be taken to the Supreme Court by his attorney.

representation. He thanks you in advance! Myself and his family thanks you for your

Wrongful convictions are unfair, undeservedly and life destroying. It must no longer be allowed!

The impact serves as a lifetime of undeserved negative profiling, more times than not. It destroys

an individual’s ability to live a normal, honest life, work a decent job or apply a legal trade. It

condemns people to suffer for something they never did, safe to say would never do! Yet the

unfortunate person is forced to bear the destructive stigma for the rest of their life.

We must fight daily to shed light on the reality, in the hopes of change. If not, eliminate it

permanently! Wrongful convictions must continue to be exposed. The public must remain aware!

We must remain empathetic and socially concerned. Regardless of where you are, be proud and

brave enough to initiate a much-needed strategy to fight wrongful convictions. The Detroit

Police Chief James Craig is helping fight wrongful convictions.
