Justice for Joey
Donation protected
I am coming to Facebook to ask people help us bury my nephew, Joey Haynes, the 16 year old who was shot and killed yesterday while in Franklin County Juvenile court by a Sheriff’s Deputy.
Before you pass judgement on this situation, please let me shine light to some of the events that happened leading up to his murder, that the Franklin Co. Sheriffs Department and local media are failing to mention.
Joey had court yesterday in the Franklin County Juvenile courts. Being his legal custodial parent, of course his mother accompanied him, along side his grandmother for support. The hearing was actually continued and Joey was being given a future court date. The judge was upset that Joey wasn’t willing to take the plea deal and it sparked a bit of tension in the court room. As a result Joeys mother was asked to leave the room, because she was agreeing with Joey on the matter, and encouraged him to not sign the papers. The deputy proceeded to try and force her out of the court room, because she wasn’t moving fast enough to his liking after she was demanded to leave (keep in mind that he didn’t actually give her any real time to leave). He starts pushing her, without her belongings, into the hallway, and continued his vocal assaults against Joey and his mother. When Joey’s mother returned the favor, and argued back, the officer got even more irritated, got louder, and a little more violent. That’s when Joey tried to intervene to protect his mother. At first he was yelling telling the officer to “stop,” and “get off of my mom,” but when his pleas fell on deaf ears, he grabbed the officers shoulder and tried to push him away from his mom. A decision that was proven to be fatal.
The officer then threw Joey into a wall, and he fell to the ground, on his back, not moving, with his hands up. The officer, who was bent down with his knee on top of Joey, without warning, or warrant pulled his gun and fired one shot into Joey’s abdomen. Paramedics were called, but wasn’t allowed to touch Joey until the floor was secured, and the officer was safely escorted out of the building. Many crucial minutes passed away, that ultimately cost Joey his life.
All of the family members, including an underage minor, whose parent was not present, was rushed off into separate rooms, and detained for hours, for questioning. The Sheriff’s Department was trying to gather any evidence they could, even by illegally questioning a minor without a parent, to try and cover their butts, and justify this MURDER. The family wasn’t notified that Joey was dead the entire time they were being questioned, after all parties were released they were handed a coroners card, and sent along their way. There were many other witnesses there that day that could corroborate these events and footage.
Please help my family give Joey the burial he needs and help us demand #JUSTICE4JOEY
Together we can make a difference!! There is power in numbers, and we truly need your help. Even if it’s one share, one prayer, or one dollar anything will help right now.
