Support Johana’s Legal Battle for Fair Treatment

Donation protected
Please help me raise funds for my daughter Johana. Johana is only 20 years old and is caught up in the legal system as a brown minority female, so therefore they are trying to set an example and giving her an unfair, unjust sentence for a mistake that she made when she had just turned 17. She hasn’t killed anyone; she hasn’t robbed anyone. Her offense was reacting to being pinned on the ground by 3 grown officers right after having 4 wisdom teeth removed that same morning, and while she was down, she kicked one of them. There are people who have done far worse and are given a lighter sentence, yet her original sentence was set for 20 years! She pleaded guilty and got deferred adjudication for 8 years. Johana has recently been arrested for probation violation to the original unjust sentence. We are raising funds to hire a lawyer who will fight for a just sentence for her and for her bail. She knows she messed up, but I don’t believe that this mistake should cost her to be gone for 20 years. She has a life to live and a family that loves her.
