The Wrongfully Convicted—Justice for Antonio &Jose
@thewrongfullyc
Antonio & Jose were wrongfully convicted of a murder they are factually innocent of resulting from Los Angeles Police Department’s historical corruption.
#LAPD detective Robert in the #wrongfularrest of #AntonioandJose. Surviving victim said the taller suspect was not as tall as Det Robert who was 6’1, Antonio was 6’3. He continually threatened Antonio he’d fall for the crime because of his height. No physical evidence: GSR or gun
It is a bittersweet occasion seeing a legendary career come to an end. Through his distinguished leadership & strategic direction during 40 years of exemplary service, Commander Robert Lopez has made #LosAngeles a safer place to live. Enjoy your well deserved retirement Sir.
The legal system failed to provide Antonio Chavez fair treatment. We demand accountability & equal protection under the law, ensuring those similarly situated receive like-treatment w/in its legitimate purpose. We implore the public, media & legal community to rally behind us.

Latinos are underrepresented in exonerations. They comprise of 395 exonerations of the 3,248 since 1989.
Please share our story. We’re hoping Antonio & Jose can make these numbers go up. Hoping for 396 & 397 🤞🏽

LAPD held a biased lineup of all alibis. Antonio was chosen because he was bald, taller & darker than Richard. Jose was chosen ‘cause Patrick was too short & had a gray sweater. 2nd slide shows the surviving victims’ description of the actual suspects.

As we advocate for the wrongfully convicted, pls don't forget abt the victims. The impact of #wrongfulconvictions is the absence of JUSTICE, they create new innocent victims & the original victims might feel guilt, fear & devastated amongst other things.

3/3 they saw Antonio & Jose hanging out. The DA failed to investigate other leads & were determined to make the conviction stick despite exculpatory evidence by other victims/witnesses. Antonio was 6’3, the suspect 5’7; Jose 5’8, suspect 5’4

The prosecution tried a botched case, it failed to identify all info in its possession that exculpated #Antonio & #Jose & impeach govt. witnesses & evidence. Instead it tried a case botched by police, which its theory was rejected by the judge 1/3

2/3 The DA alleged they were from a gang & based their theory on false accusations. They adopted a tagging rivalry & used testimony by the deceased’s friend tht didn’t implicate them. Also, Antonio was incarcerated whn the rivalry btw the groups initiated & when witnesses claimed
