The author's brother received an unjust 20-year prison sentence due to a lack of legal knowledge. The author contacted a legal expert who confirmed the brother was wrongly sentenced. A few simple actions could have prevented the long sentence. The author created a blog to share legal information with others, especially youth, to help prevent similar injustices from technical mistakes or lack of understanding of legal rights. The goal is to deliver accessible legal information to help at least one person in their situation.

1. PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS

2. Hello, my name is Jenny Guishode. My inspiration for this blog is my little
brother. See, recently, my brother unjustly received a twenty-year prison
sentence. His rights were viciously stomped on because of his lack of legal
knowledge at the time.
I’ve had my doubts about the specifics surrounding his case for many years.
After contacting a legal expert, and detailing his case, the legal expert told me
that he was unjustly sentenced.
When the legal expert told me how a few simple actions would have brought
my brother home, I began to cry uncontrollably. Twenty-years of my baby
brother’s life is lost because of a simple lack of information. It’s not my place to
share his story, but I will do whatever I can to help anyone in a similar situation.
My brother was twenty at the time of his sentencing.

3. He was robbed of his youth because of a few mistakes that cost him. Many young
people do not understand their legal rights as Americans. Sometimes, the youth of
America lose their freedom because of a lack of legal knowledge. Even when there isn’t
technically any legal corruption facing them, the youth of America, are at risk of making
legal mistakes that will cost them dearly.
Families such as mine, are devastated whenever this happens. For this reason, I’ve
created this blog to share vital legal information with not only the youth, but anyone else
who’s curious about their legal situation. I welcome information and experiences from
all walks of life.
This blog is also meant an outlet for various cases where someone’s legal rights are
violated. You don’t need to be a lawyer or legal expert to understand basic legal
terminology. My goal with this blog is to deliver legal information to people who need it.
If the content on this site can help one person in their situation, then I feel that my
brother isn’t suffering in vain.
