Release Gabriel Gonzales
Sign Now
We urge you, as a goverment official duty-bound to the law and the people of the State of Colorado, to personally oversee that 18 year-old Gabriel Gonzales is released from jail and exonerated of all charges.
Despite the complete lack of evidence to support the arrest and prosecution of Gabriel Gonzales, Gabriel has been held without bond since January 13th, 2006 and is set to be tried on February 23rd, 2006.
This case suggests that severe procedural and evidentiary errors have occurred and we urge you to look into them.
Gabriel's prosecution is solely based on the words of 4 non-credible individuals motivated by personal revenge and financial reward. The fact that there is no other evidence has been confirmed with the "discovery" which was finally released on February 14th, 2006.
As you are aware, many improvements need to be made to ensure that there is equality before the law for the rich as well as the poor, for people of color, for youth without resources. We know that you are concerned about the many risks faced by minority youth in the state of Colorado. In addition to other disturbing statistics, youth of color (largely African-American and Latina/o) comprise nearly 60\% of those locked up in juvenile justice facilities despite being only a third of Colorado's youth population. We know that you are concerned about this alarming statistical fact. Please take this opportunity to move Colorado in the right direction. Free and exonerate Gabriel Gonzales.
