A disproportionate sentence is a sentence that is greater than one the charges call for. I was convicted of 4 counts of Felonious Assault, and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Only one person was injured, and no one died. As a rule, Felonious assault carries only 2 to 8 years in prions, and I have already been incarcerated for 20 years. Convicted murders have spent less time behind bars than this.
I am in no way attempting to mitigate what the victims of this crime have gone through. I have more than paid my debt to society and was both serious and vigilant with my personal rehabilitation efforts. I am simply asking the court to demonstrate mercy, because I really need to be with my children, grandchildren and family. At some point, such lengthy sentence becomes cruel, inhumane. Especially when it has such an adverse effect on my innocent children and family.
This petition is an attempt to rectify a severely disproportionate sentence by asking judge Kathleen Ann Sutula of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas to reconsider and reduce the 35-year sentence. Ultimately, allowing me to return home to be with my grandchildren, children and family to support them emotionally, environmentally, psychologically, and financially, and to be a productive member of society.

He as solid as they come head held high through all obstacles to me he’s done more than enough time for said past things. I witnessed that personally. One of a kind genuine man he helped me a lot Me and my brother Sid
Free him and one of my family members is going through the same ordeal as he, and our laws need to be changed reasoning you have people that are murdering the elderly and babies that is receiving hardly no time.I feel that 20 years is enough.
21 and a half years is far to long and it is time that this man is released back into society,no life was taken,no family is in mourning and Burk Jordan has paid his dues and then some,so with that said allow this man to come home and be the productive citizen that we all as is family and friends know that he will be!
Please release him he has done more than enough time i have raised our children and is raising our grandchildren on my own
Burke is my cousin, whom my family, love, miss, and need home. While in prison Burke remains the center of the families support system. He has has unconditional and constant support and weekly visits from family. Please consider reduce this sentence, not only for Burke, but for the well being of our entire family, it has effected our entire family.
Dang I’m sure he learned his lesson, he’s been gone since 1996, give him a chance in Society
Free that man. You have all these young men killing but here is a more than a statement rehabilitated man. Free him Sutula

35 years is extremely harsh on a 2,8 years sentence, they have let people out of jail that killed people and only served 10 or 15 years but you going to let this man sit in prison for 35 years for a felonious assault what is going on with our court system this man have served his time and then some please free him
