The wait is over because Earlie has finally been granted his freedom. Seeing this outcome after all the long nights of uncertainty feels surreal and I am overwhelmed with relief for our family. Thank you for holding on with us during the hardest chapters of this fight.

This petition is in reference to Earlie Deacon Barber. The Potter Family is asking all family members, friends, communities, churches, and productive citizens to sign this petition. This is a movement to ask the courts and the President of the United States to give him a chance at freedom.

Watching the stack of names grow reminds our family that we are not fighting for Earlie alone. I have been spending my time coordinating with legal experts to prepare for when the court finally moves past this deferral.

Earlie has been waiting far too long for his turn at justice. Please help us cross the hundred signature threshold so we can show the court our family stands united behind him.

PLEASE ALLOW DEACON BARBER A SECOND CHANCE TO SOCIETY.. His parent’s NEED HIM AND HIS CHILDREN WHICH HE’s missed out on a lot in their life’s. I truly believe Deacon is a changed man and deserves a second chance he’s did well over enough time and plus some ... PLEASE ALLOW DEACON ANOTHER CHANCE TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY
Deacon is one of my friends from my neighborhood and more like my family. His punishment for his crime is long enough. His family and friends really miss him so much. So this is my decree that he should have a pardon to come home.
I feel like he deserves another chance to be with family and his kids. We all him and miss him dearly. He has always been a brother to me. He even saved my life a few times from domestic violence
I pray that God touches everyone heart that looks at this Petiton of Earlie Deacon Barber he has been away from his family and kids for 11 years he deserves a chance to come home and start new life with his family and kids and also his mother who has heart problems this is her only child .God please set him Free!!!
I have known Deacon Barber for many years he is no threat to what so ever to anyone. I'm asking that he is released back to our community..
I think Mr.Deacon Barber deserves a chance to be free and show the court system that he has a different out look on life...
Good luck

Deacon deserves a second chance and has already served a significant amount of time already and the sentence was more than excessive for the charge in comparison to individuals with similar charges or worse charges. He has missed important years in his kids' life and this needs to be taken into consideration. Regards!
