Final Push for Police Reports

Mona Nelson is a Black woman from Houston Texas, a loving daughter and mother, an ex-pro boxer and a professional welder.

In 2013 Mona was wrongfully convicted of capital murder, and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. The District Attorney involved in Mona’s case has since come under public scrutiny for repeated misconduct. During Mona’s questioning and subsequent trial, members of the Houston Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office committed acts of perjury on the witness stand and obtained evidence through illegal means.

Mona is currently in the process of filing a writ of habeas corpus at the state court level in hopes that her case will be overturned. Mona has never pleaded guilty to the charges brought against her, and maintains her innocence to this day.

This fundraiser represents the final push in the process to file a writ of habeas corpus which will hopefully call Mona back into court for a re-trial of her case. The last step in the process is for Mona's paralegal (who wishes to remain anonymous out of concerns for Mona's safety) to purchase the police reports for Mona's case which will help him write his summary to the court. Purchasing the documents from the County Clerk will cost $238 dollars exactly.
