Now 20, Nyajee Davis was incarcerated on his 19th birthday and he still remain imprisoned today, despite the unjust treatment of his case. Tracing back to his earlier teenage years, Davis is no stranger to the pitfalls of the judicial system. In the December of 2018 Davis was at a Chinese food restaurant, which he frequented and where many locals were familiar with him. On this day, the owner asked him to leave. Davis who suffers from mental health issue and had not been taking medications. Davis believed the owner was about to strike him so, in self-defense, Davis struck him, resulting in the current charge of 2nd degree robbery and 2nd degree aggravated assault. Even though no Robbery took place. Davis' maternal aunt ( Lyreshia Bonds) is a probation officer in the state and has advocated for Davis in the past. Aware of the protocol in familial matters, she reported the involved member and a previous case was transferred because it was a conflict. The case was transferred back to the current county in a retaliatory attempt against his maternal aunt, whom had become embroiled in an EEOC complaint against the County for discrimination, harassment and retaliation. His aunt later filed a lawsuit in federal court and it's currently underway. Davis’ public defender pressured him to keep the case in the county and sign a plea, informing him that if he did not sign, the incarceration term would be lengthier. His Public Defender never advocated on his behalf. After his aunt's lawsuit was filed, detailing the unscrupulous actions of the Courts, Public Defender and the Prosecutor. A new private attorney was appointed to Davis' case. The new counsel immediately filed a motion to withdraw the coerced plea, citing Davis’ mental health diagnoses. From the onset, this attorney knew Davis should have never received the plea based on his mental health issues. What’s more, in an evaluation completed September 2020 it was determined that Davis qualifies for a not guilty defense due to his mental health status, yet the prosecutor is refusing to withdraw his plea. His mother Tyreshia Hailstork has been by his side every step of the way. There is still a chance to turn things around for Nyajee Davis. With the assistance of your donation to his GoFundMe, we can join together in turning tragedy into triumph. The family is searching for a Private Civil Attorney who can file a lawsuit to ensure this never happens again and to seek for Nyajee Davis. Tyreshia Hailstork and family is also seeking an attorney to help get guardianship over Davis. Thank you
