PETITION FOR EDWARD COMBS TO BE PAROLED/OR RESENTANCED BY THE TRAIL JUDGE FROM MICHIGAN DEPT. OF CORRECTIONS
To Whom it May Concern,
If you believe in prison reform, criminal justice reform or simply just doing what's right please join us in the fight for freedom! By simply adding your name and general contact info (phone no. e-mail, social media handle etc.) to this petition you set may be the deciding factor in helping a man regain his freedom.
Mr. Combs' innocence or guilt is not up for debate but what is up for discussion is the fact that he has been incarcerated for the past 20 YEARS for "assault w/intent to murder" while most people who have committed actual MURDER have been known to serve less than 20 years, go figure.
In no shape or form are we trying to minimize this crime however, our objective is to highlight the fact that the criminal justice system has over sentenced another black man and then to add insult to injury the prison system (parole board) refuses to allow this man to live the remainder of his life as free man. The so-called justice system says "an offender must repay his debt to society". I'm of the mindset 20 YEARS worth of payments is more than enough to be considered paid in full.
Over the past 7300 days (20 years) Mr. Combs has lost both of his grandfathers, his younger brother, a cousin, an uncle and several friends. Even though he was incarcerated Mr. Combs (like many of us) contracted Covid 19, for which he received no treatment and was forced to "tough it out" due to the MDOC's less than adequate healthcare.
BACKGROUND INFO: Edward Combs has been incarcerated since 2001 for assault w/intent to murder, assault w/intent to rob while armed and weapons possession. For the crimes Mr. Combs was ultimately sentenced to LIFE "with" the possibility of parole and 28 years (which runs concurrent with the life sentence).
If you would like to know more about Mr. Combs, he welcomes all questions by contacting him via the email carrier listed on his page, or write to him direct.
