Help Free Lawrence Dority — A Loving Father Fighting for His Life Freedom

Lawrence Dority, was convicted to life in prison and is pursing appeals for his case. Lawrence is a loving partner and a devoted father to our children. His absence has left a deep void in our lives—he was our provider, our support system, and the heart of our family.

Lawrence is a man of many talents. He is a skilled chef, an accomplished artist, and a master barber whose work brings people together. He has always been a dedicated community member, providing clothing, haircuts, and meals to those in need. His kindness, creativity, and loyalty have touched countless lives.

What Happened

On the night of May 9, 2022, Lawrence faced a terrifying and sudden threat in the safety of his own home. Deep fear gripped him as he thought about the safety of his child, his father, and himself. Acting on instinct and a parent’s unwavering duty to protect, Lawrence made a split-second decision to safeguard his loved ones.

Every action he took afterward was responsible and measured: he called 911, remained at the scene, and cooperated fully with law enforcement. Lawrence’s response was not reckless—it was a courageous act to protect his family in a frightening, life-threatening moment.

The Trial and Appeals

Lawrence was convicted in a one-day trial, during which key witnesses were never called to the stand. These omissions have left serious questions about whether his case was given a fair and thorough review.

Despite having no history of violence and being known for his peaceful, giving nature, Lawrence was sentenced to life in prison. A punishment this extreme does not reflect who he is as a man, a father, or a member of his community. This is an unjust outcome that does not fit the reality of what happened or the person Lawrence has always been.

He is now pursuing appeals to ensure all evidence is properly considered, his rights are protected, and true justice is finally served.
