Overview

Louisiana imprisons more people than any state or nation in the world. The sheriffs, judges, and prosecutors are all linked in an injustice system set up to destroy a man and his kids. This case needs to be properly investigated. There is not one piece of evidence found at the crime scene that supports Tony’s conviction or links him to the crime or crime scene. Tony's conviction was secured solely on three convicts' testimonies based on them claiming they “overheard” Tony speaking to Glen Nelson. At the same time, Tony served time on unrelated charges at Ouachita Correctional Center. Jailhouse informants Vaccarra Comanche, Clarence Kennedy, and Christopher Wiggins faced serious jail time. With no money to bond out of jail, their motive was to get a shorter sentence from the prosecutors. These informants had much to gain and little to lose by testifying falsely. New evidence has come to light since Tony’s conviction shows his complete innocence, including an affidavit from Glen Nelson admitting it was a jailhouse scam to get help from the District Attorney’s office for their cases. The affidavit also affirms that Tony and Glen Nelson are enemies and have never discussed the crime. This overwhelming evidence proves that Tony is innocent and wrongfully imprisoned. The fact is, Tony should never have been convicted in the first place because the witnesses in his case were never credible. The jury simply believed 3 convicts stories without any evidence. Tony Hunter has consistently maintained his innocence since his May 4, 2001 arrest. And his story has never wavered. What has been done to Mr. Hunter is a travesty of justice. Tony, his children, grandchildren, and mother are the true victims here.
