We are attempting to get a retrial for Charles Anthony Nealy who is facing the death penalty for a crime he did not commit. Please sign our petition.


 

Lack of preparation of defense

The defense lawyers had clearly prepared no defense for Anthony Nealy.

When Mr Nealy was being sentenced, they called him into the holding cell where he was asked if there was 'anyone' he could call to defend him!

The motives of the defense were clearly not in the best interest of the client.

During the trial for example, both Prosecutor and Defender were overheard to be discussing the joint purchase of a boat at the start of a trial.

CASE UPDATE - The courts have now agreed that Anthony received poor defence and a new attorney has been appointed to handle his appeals.
