What should've been a simple matter of self defense has turned into a two year battle for justice. This controversial case of Zacarius Pierre vs The State of Arizona has left a Texas Father in the midst of an unfair litigation in Arizona.
Critical evidence that supports Pierre's acquittal and release to his family has been excluded by prosecutors. The Pierre family is currently seeking public visibility and support in raising legal defense funds to secure a new court hearing to appeal this conviction.
By donating to Pierre's legal defense and signing the petition, you are helping overturn a wrongful conviction and reunite a daughter with the father who protected her.
"The public defender tried to convince me if I cut my locs off, the prosecutors might give me a lighter sentence."
— Zacarius Pierre, Defendant
This is not a story about one bad night. It is about a system that chose conviction over evidence — and a family fighting to bring a father home.
