The District Attorney has officially dropped all charges against Andre Lewis. This outcome represents a long overdue recognition of justice for a man who endured three separate attempts to convict him. Thank you for maintaining your focus on this case until the final decision was reached.

Andre Lewis was accused of Murder almost 2 years ago after he shot a Man that viciously attacked him while he was holding his baby daughter without warning. Andre has been through 2 Trials where both were hung juries with acquittal in his favor and has a third trial set for February of 2019. If a District attorney can keep trying a case until they get a Guilty verdict or keep trying a case until the defendant has no more money to fight the case and is forced to take some outrageous plea bargin, then how can any Man or Woman have a fair chance in a system that is set up for failure?
Andre is a Military Vet. Worked for New York state for 17 years. Had a valid NYS pistol permit at the time and did multiple things in the community. Here in the United States white men especially police officers shoot people without even being scratched. They shoot in fear for their life. This Father was in fear of his life and child's life too. He was attacked while holding his daughter but yet was not deemed self defense by the Da's office.
Sounds like Andre Lewis was not light enough for self defense. We are asking that you sign this Petition and let's end this and give Andre Lewis his freedom back. The Da got his chance, not once but twice and going on his third chance. How is that fair? Where is the Justice Andre Lewis deserves. It's time this ends.

I worked with andre for a year at state job. He was so respectful and fun to be around. Always upbeat and helpful. Andre dont deserve this. Any parent will do what he did to protect his child.
I worked with Andre Lewis for several years on the same shift as him. You could not have asked for a more polite soft spoken coworker than Andre. He was always there to help without being asked
A third trial? Keep this same energy when other people commit crimes more heinous than this. 3 means you let him off twice. You’re hoping he runs out of money to represent himself. YOU should be on trial.
Injustice is a Understatement. It Looks as if the D.A is trying to force a guilty verdict. Why is the D.A being allowed so many chances to convict a innocent man behind bars with NO NEW FOUND EVIDENCE
Andre Lewis & his family have been thru enough. Nobody will be allowed to begin to heal until this is over. They cannot decide because alot of people believe he was justified. Not in taking a life but for defending his. Andre is an amazing person and father. Leave him be already.
Poor guy!!
I seen the video and all I can say is what would you have done in that situation

A real genuine person. Ive known Andre since teenage years and he as real as they come. A caring family man who always did the right thing. Out justice system continues to fail the Minority communities by taking the male figure out the house hold. Please do the right thing for once. Justice For Dre!!!!!!!
