Why this petition matters

Started by Corey Olliver

We need your help to make sure William Marcus Wilson is given a fair trial by bringing this to national attention!

William Marcus Wilson was out with his girlfriend at night in Sharpsburg, GA, when he was and his girlfriend were called racial slurs by a group of other teens. After Wilson and his girlfriend decided to leave, the teens followed, driving behind him and screaming racial slurs while playing music from the movie "The Purge." When the other group tried to drive them off the road, William fired off a warning shot, striking Haley Hutchinson, one of the people in the truck trying to run William and his girlfriend off the road.


Statesboro Police Department later issued a warrant for his arrest with one charge of Felony Murder and one charge Aggravated Assault. Georgia is a Stand Your Ground state and we want to make sure that William Marcus Wilson is given a fair trial, in a case where his life was being threatened, 40 minutes south of Atlanta. None of the other individuals that incited the incident with William have been arrested, nor have they been arrested for following him after he chose to leave and following him while screaming racial slurs!

Share Share Share and make sure to call the Mayor of Statesboro, Jonathan McCollar and demand that he free William immediately!
