If you haven’t already, here is your chance to sign the petition to free J.Dee of Da Lench Mob. Here’s a press release:
This cry for freedom is one I pray that doesn’t go un-heard. My name is DaSean “JDee” Cooper. I am an Original Member of DA LENCH MOB, a rap group founded by Ice Cube in the 1990’s.I was the lead rapper in the group for our debut Platinum release titled, “Guerillas
In The Mist.”
Upon our return home from Europe in the summer of 1993, I was falsely accused, tried and convicted of murder – a crime that I and 95% of Los Angeles (including the victim’s family) know that I did not commit. My trial attorney had suffered a stroke prior to my trial
and subsequently he had a mild stroke. I was denied several constitutional rights and was tried and convicted based on rap lyrics and a 911 tape recording. There was no gun, no gun shot residue, no credible eyewitness and the only compelling witness
was instructed to stay hidden until the prosecution needed her. There was ineffective assistance of counsel, jury misconduct, prosecutorial misconduct and judicial misconduct. Hearsay evidence was illegally admitted and jurors were overheard in elevators
discussing the case before it was submitted for deliberation.
There is a retired L.A. Sheriff named Herb Giron who’s known me for over two decades and he conducted his own investigation and knows that I’m not the real suspect shooter and culprit. My 14th,5th and 6th Amendment, Rights were violated. And I truly believe that “Music” was placed on trial and I was convicted of being black and a “gangsta rapper”. I was denied any and all Black jurors…my jury consisted of 8 whites & 4 Asian-Americans. This was in 1994 – post L.A. uprising/Rodney King beating and during the O. J. Simpson pre-trial circus. I was denied bail in a non-capital case, which was a violation of my 8th Amendment Constitutional Right.
O’Shea “Ice Cube” Jackson left me for dead due to negative publicity. The record label, East-West/Time lawyers and law students to help me prevail in this fight for freedom. I’ve wrote several law firms who claim to do Pro-Bono work. But no one likes rappers; especially one who’s as outspoken as myself. There are plenty of Federal & State violations and I am literally throwing myself at the mercy of this law school (and/or firm) to please get involved in my fight for my life.
I’ve been in touch with the retired sheriff (Giron), this past Feb.2003 and he’s willing to help. I’ve tried everything in my power and I’ve even located 3 new eyewitnesses who were present the night the crime was committed.
As of this writing certain artists are expressing their concerns. However, talk is extremely cheap and I’m in need of serious help. Please feel free to write me at the address below with any help or suggestions. Comments are welcomed also.
May Our Creator Bless You All! Peace!
