Hi.
My fiance has been locked up since feb 1997. It has been 23 years and he has 1 agg murder, 2 murders charges against him. He has tried to write to are local courts and they always say there is nothing they will do for his case or they just give a quick response and say the information he was provided was not in a timely manner and he turns it in on time. We are from columbus ohio. And are state is so bad with helping inmates get out.
If your innocence could help lead us in the right direction.
Thanks danielle.
