My name is Lawrence Edwards, I'm currently 32 years old and I've been incarcerated for over 13 years for robberies and firearm charges.  Although NO ONE WAS TOUCHED OR HURT and including NO PRIOR ADULT RECORD I was sentenced to a total of 174 years, with 126 years and 9 months suspended, leaving me with 47 years and 3 months to serve.  This is equivalent to a life sentence being as though parole was abolished in Virginia in 1995.

    Due to this injustice of oversentencing and that I've currently done over a quarter of my sentence after exhausting all other remedies lead me to reach out to an attorney that specializes in Clemencies.  After paying $300 just for him to hear my case this attorney expressed that he doesn't just take any case.  He only takes clients that he believes has merit and that are candidates to be Pardoned.  After speaking with him he strongly believes I fit that criteria.  In order for me to continue with his services I have to pay his entire fee up front which is $15,000.  With that said, here's a brief background that lead me to this point to reach out to you now.

    I didn't abuse drugs as a teenager or had a serious habit, in fact I worked and had aspirations of one day being a business owner myself.  However, I was a teenager that grew up in a rough environment that lacked stability, guidance and supervision.  Because of my lack of education and no positive examples around me I was ridiculed for my ambition which caused a lack of confidence in myself.  I then felt I had no positive future which lead me to being wild and reckless.  I had no understanding or even consideration of the total impact that my actions could have had which doesn't take away from the trauma I put the victims through.

    But looking back, I was fortunate that NO ONE WAS HARMED and NO ONE WAS KILLED, cause one thing my environment didn't create was an animal.  To this day, I regret the mental trauma I put the victims through.  So at the beginning of my incarnation I realized the importance of education and spent the last 13 years focused on my education.  Within the last few years my studies have been focused on Personal Finance and the fundamentals of starting and running a successful business.

    As a result of my studies, my mind has been opened that now I understand how the economy operates, the importance of a bank account and how valuable it is to have a good FICO score and the benefits that come with it.  There are many reasons why I need to be home, two of which is to be there for my mother and also launch my business.  I have a plan that I've been working on.  I want the chance to follow the dreams that were shattered as a teenager and also mentor the youth providing them with options they may not have known to hopefully show them that they do have potential to be great without engaging in crime.

    My perspective of life has changed drastically from when I was young.  With your assistance I could possibly turn my dreams into a reality.  Even the smallest donation can be the difference to get me over the mark.  Click on the link that says DONATE to make your donation and please SHARE my story with your social media contacts.  God bless you for your help.
