Why this petition matters

Started by Maximilian Smith

Brandon Bernard was sentenced to death for a crime committed in 1999, when he was only 18 years old. As an accomplice, he did not have a leading role in that crime, and he has demonstrated positive behavior throughout his 20 years of incarceration, even reaching out to others and counseling them not to follow in his path. When critical charging and sentencing decisions were made in his case, both the Government and the jurors had an incomplete picture of Brandon and the offense. Today, five of the nine surviving jurors no longer believe that a death sentence is necessary for Brandon AND one of Brandon’s former prosecutors who worked to uphold his sentence, now wants his life to be spared.
