MAN DESPERATELY NEEDS HELP AND SUPPORT! Jan, 2020

My name is Donald Glenn. I have been falsely imprisoned in the State of Ohio, USA since 1984. With the help of the eager news-media, the State and others have perpetrated this deliberate fraud, at my expense, for over 35 years now. They use me as a scapegoat, to keep all of their wrongdoing covered-up in this case. I honestly need your help and support, to correct this mockery of justice.

Beginning in May 1984, shortly after a serious car accident, I developed severe mental and physical health problems: Unknown at the time, I became severely mentally ill. A few months later, in August 1984, while severely mentally ill, I was involved in a shooting incident with city police officers in Cambridge, Ohio, USA. One officer was killed, another off-duty officer was wounded, and I was later wounded. There is credible evidence that will prove the off-duty officer killed the other officer: Unknown at the time, such evidence was intentionally covered-up at the trial. There is also credible evidence that will prove the crime scene altered and evidence tampered with. Unknown at the time, such evidence was intentionally covered-up at the trial. The defense attorneys did not defend me against the State's false and misleading case. Instead, they subtlety worked with the State, to obtain maximum convictions and sentences. These true facts and evidence, among others; were intentionally covered-up by the State, attorneys, and others involved with this case.

This case is a high-profile case that involves many police officers. At trial, the State and others engaged in grandstanding. They made themselves look so grand, while making me look so vile in the public eye. Unknown at the time, the State and others intentionally used false and misleading evidence against me about what really happened before, during, and after the shooting incident. They took advantage of my severe mental illness during trial, where I could not defend myself. The eager news-media reported this sham trial from beginning to end. The death of the officer, and wounding of the off-duty officer are admittedly very tragic; however, it does not justify the State's use of intentional false and misleading evidence in this case.

Before and during trial, the Court's selected experts, State's selected experts, and defenses selected experts reported that at the time of the shooting incident; because of severe mental illness, I was not legally sane. The credible and extensive evidence, expert and layman, not only met, but exceeded the requirements of the legal insanity standard for Ohio, USA. As a matter of law, the Court had a duty to enter a judgement of acquittal. Instead, the Court relied on the State's false and misleading evidence that was used against me, and imposed maximum convictions and sentences. There is credible evidence that will prove, that the Court relied on false and misleading evidence to imposed the convictions and sentences. There is also credible evidence to prove, that the defense attorneys worked .with the State, instead of defending me against the false and misleading evidence used by the State in this case.

It is my hope that this intentional miscarriage of justice will move you to offer your help and support, to obtain honest justice and release in this case. Additional information is available upon request. Unfortunately, under imprisonment, I do not have the funds or resources needed to obtain an attorney, or investigator, or other experts to correct this awful injustice. The State takes advantage of such pitful situation. Some people are really stubborn, and believe that everyone in prison should be there, or at least until it happens to them, or someone in their family, or somebody they know, and it is only then that they can really find out the truth; that is, if they honestly care . . .

If there is sombody you may know - or something you can do that can help and support my efforts to seek justice and release in this case, than please contact me at your earliest convenience. To contact me, please write: `
