And ANOTHER year later... still no ruling on the DNA testing.
Talk about the wheels of justice grinding slowly.
It's a disgrace.

Today is Wrongful Conviction Day and I miss my Uncle.
He's been locked up for something he didn't do for 11, 012 days... which is wayyy before me... and even my mama was born!
Ever since I was born 2 years ago, he sends me videos, draws pictures for me (he's a really good artist) and talks to me on the phone! 😁
Btw, I'm Loki, Raymond Warren's nephew, and I'm more than ready to put in work(as you can tell from my pics 😉) to help my Uncle Raymond fight this wrongful conviction.
But America, I need your help! Support my Uncle Raymond by staying tuned on his social media, and tell all your friends about me & Unc!
Free my Uncle Raymond!

If anyone would like to pitch in and help with Raymond's expenses this month, you can via cashapp, $Oakland2483
He's been in the hole for over a month now. He's got about $800 worth of food in his pack-up in storage but he can't have that. Part of the restrictions in the hole are not having access to all your own property and limited access to commissary items.
BUT...he can have more food in the hole. The caveat? If he wants more he's gotta buy it from other inmates in expensive ass food bags.
Don't try to make it make sense- because it never fu***ng will.
All I know is that this recent round of bu****it he's being put through has led to me spending over $700 so far this month.
And the well is dry.
And I may be fully insane by now.
And I'm just trying to keep my husband alive.

There's so much more to the story. But if I told you, you probably wouldn't believe me.

If helping financially isn't for you or is beyond your means, no worries.
Just pray instead.

Thank you. ❤️

And here we are another year later, with no ruling, no progress, and no change.
______________
January 16th, 2023: Raymond’s upcoming court date this Thursday is in reference to the application for DNA testing which was filed approximately one year ago, as explained in the article below, which was published a year ago today. The judge denied that request, Raymond and his lawyers appealed the decision, and the appellate court ruled in Raymond’s favor. A victory, yes...but an uphill battle, at best. The ruling of the appeals court is the reason for Raymond’s hearing this Thursday...but the ruling simply sends the case back before the same judge who originally denied his application in the first place in order for it to be reconsidered.
This is how our justice system works and how so many are wrongly ensnared by it.

------------------------------Update: On January 21st, 2022, 5 days after the publishing of this article, Judge Mary Huffman denied Raymond's request for DNA testing, citing contamination of the shell casings while being processed by the state early on in the investigation.(Claiming they were handled by ungloved lab workers) Due to the possible contamination, she concluded they are of no evidentiary value.

That's how many days Raymond has been locked up for a crime he didn't commit. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Justice too long delayed is justice denied." I find it quite fitting that this article about Raymond was published today-the day honoring one of the greatest freedom fighters to ever live. Ohioans need to demand more from their state government and criminal justice system to ensure that wrongful convictions like Raymond's become a thing of the past and to see to it that Raymond is granted the freedom he has been unfairly denied for over 27 years.

Raymond Allan Warren's case has the red flags common in wrongful conviction cases, says the Ohio Public Defender.
