Wrongful Conviction, Not Innocence

WRONGFUL CONVICTION NOT INNOCENCE

Donna wanted to make all of you aware that she is not claiming to be innocent, but wrongfully convicted and wanted to educate her supporters of the differences.  Explanation of innocence versus wrongfully convicted involves not being present when the offense took place and DNA would be missing from the scene of the crime.  Example: A bank was robbed and you were out of state when the robbery took place and the camera footage along with none of your DNA being there proves your innocence.

A wrongful conviction is classified as when (1) the person convicted is factually innocent of the charge, or (2) there were procedural errors that violated the convicted person’s rights. Most that are wrongfully convicted know they have been wronged and actively pursue exoneration. Most of those wrongfully convicted have typically had evidence withheld, fabricated, not tested, and tainted against them along with the use of jailhouse snitches all perpetuated by the prosecutor, known as prosecution misconduct. These are clear violations of the Constitution and deprivation of a defendant’s due process rights.


Donna killed Dustin Stanley after dealing with months of physical and mental abuse. She filed restraining orders and trespassing charges against Dustin but he was never arrested when he violated the law because he was a paid confidential informant for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms (ATF)

Letter To Supporters From Donna

Dear friends and supporters,

Your letters of encouragement are always welcome!

If you wish to post a letter of support, simply register and make a comment on my posts, post on my Facebook, or simply email freedonnahockman@gmail.com and we will post it promptly. I need my friends and family to write on my site to show my true personality and I want honest truthful testimonials of who I am/was.

The only thing to look forward to is email and U.S. mail. At mail call, I love hearing my name. I don’t feel so alone and reading your letters is therapeutic. My website is not meant to inflame the friends and family of Dustin Stanley. My only goal is to allow the public to see the lies that convicted me and let the world know who Donna Hockman really is. During my relationship with Dustin Stanley, before and during my trial I was silenced and I will remain silent no more! No matter what I have to do to prove the corruption surrounding my conviction I will continue to fight for my freedom.

To those of you who read the stories of those arrested and convicted of crimes and say “they got what they deserved”, please know your only being told the version the prosecutor wants you to know. The prosecutor wants to sway public opinion so the jury pool will be tainted and ensure a conviction.

Justice can only be served when the truth is told!

I look forward to reading your letters and emails. Keep them coming!

If you wish to write a personal letter to me, email me or refer to the Contact Me page on how to do so.

Love,
Donna
