The parole board has granted release for John Kurtis Baker. My legal team is currently finalizing the paperwork required for his transition out of the facility. I am grateful for the sustained attention directed toward the procedural flaws in this case.

The reach of this petition has captured the attention of legal advocates who are now reviewing the trial transcripts. I have a meeting confirmed with local counsel to discuss filing a formal motion for sentence reconsideration.

My cousin is a storngest man i have ever known he would never hurt anyone on purpose yet alone kill someone i love my cousin
First of all let's get some facts straight. He was not convicted of 1st degree murder but rather 2nd degree murder. He did not stab the victim because he was attacking his father. There may have been a verbal disagreement but the victim wasn't even close enough to touch the father. He didn't just "end up stabbing the man" he stabbed him over 14 times once in the top of the skull. The victim and John Kurtis Baker were roughly the same size he didn't use the knife because he was smaller he used it because he intended to kill the victim. Him and the girlfriend waited for the victim for some time it was not a spur of the moment attack. And as far as "free John Kurtis" he will be out on parole soon. Hopefully prison has taught him something
I grew up with John Kurtis and he was a great person a great friend and never caused any trouble at all. I believe that he never intended to hurt anyone.
25 years for defending your own father is insane. he was 19 and scared. anyone in that spot would have done the same thing. john deserves a second chance at life.
i known john for years and he aint no killer he was just trying to protect his dad everyone knows he is a good kid who just made a mistake in the heat of the moment let him come home
Free John kurtis
