RE: Kelvin Harris

On April 13,2014 Charles D Washington shot and killed Lionel Blackeldge, age 27. Washington confessed that he was inspired and willingly conspired with Kelvin M Harris while standing on a porch along with others. Kelvin was picked up in a vehicle by Lionel then directed him (Lionel) to a specific location and asked him to wait outside for him (Kelvin). Jason Rodriguez, 14, and Charles Washington, 19, approached the vehicle from behind. Jason Rodriguez held a .38 caliber gun and Charles Washington held a .45 caliber gun pointed at Lionel's face. Lionel was then shot multiple times in the head. Jason Rodriguez, Charles Washington, and KEVLIN HARRIS fled in an unknown direction, later being apprehended. Charles Washington plead guilty to Murder, Robbery, conspiracy to commit Robbery and was sentenced to 35-80 years in prison. Kelvin Harris plead guilty to Robbery, criminal conspiracy to commit robbery and was sentenced to 14 to 40 years in prison. Kelvin Harris is attempting to request early parole because he "can't do hard time".

We, the undersigned, STRONGLY OPPOSE any and all attempts for early parole. Justice demands he serve the full and maximum prison sentence assigned to him for the heinous crime he consciously participated in, planned and followed through with.

Kelvin Harris chose his path when he planned this crime and justice demands he serves the full duration of his sentence. I am currently organizing our formal testimony for the parole board to ensure they hear our opposition clearly. Send an email to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania today and demand that they deny this request for early release.

The momentum behind this petition proves that our community refuses to let a cold-blooded killer walk free. Now we must translate this energy into direct action by emailing the Superior Court of Pennsylvania to demand he serves his full sentence. Copy the address from the petition page and send your message today.

I love Lionel with all my being. I watched these boys day in and day out every court date walk like they are some kind a gansta and they took my families life away, but he can't serve his 14years? They are all cowards and there will be no chance of this man going free when all the people who love and cared about Lionel are still alive. I wish he could burn behind those bars.

He took another person's life for no reason,at no time was Lionel a threat to him , setting him free would send a very bad message , he's afraid now because he cant change the mistakes he's made , he has enough time to begin mending what he has broken maybe he needs to stop thinking about himself and begin using his time understanding how his actions have affected others ,

If you can't do hard time, don't do hard crimes.
