Gringo fights against three life sentences.
Jaime Davidson, artistically known like Gringo, who became popular for such hits like
"Trailer Load of Girls," "Tiny Wini" and "Where You Got it From," formally lodged an appeal
on his case from prison in the Supreme Court of the United States. Davidson has been in custody for almost 20 years, sentenced to three life sentences plus 85 years for a crime he assures everyone he never committed.
He was fingered as an accomplice in an incident where Wallie Howard,Jr. resulted dead, an officer of the Police Department of the City of Syracuse,New York, who was undercover investigating a drug case in which one of the sound technicians that used to work with Gringo found himself involved, and precisely on that day Gringo had lent him his car.
HAS EVIDENCE
The Panamanian artist assures everyone that a conspiracy against him has been launched, because he has forensic evidence showing that the bullet that killed the policeman did not come from the side where his friend was located in the conflict, but on the side of the police themselves.
During all this time in prison, the author of "I'm Coming Hot" (I'm coming is to destroy and nobody now could stop me...!) prepared himself and faced by the lack of money and support for his defense, he himself was responsible for litigating and preparing an issue for appeal that unfortunately was denied this 16 of August of 2010 for having too many pages. "My petition had 63 pages and now I had to reduce it to 40 by the rules of the Supreme Court of the United States that is holding me to the same level as the lawyers themselves, once they saw the professional level of my petition.
I already finished it, but I have to make the new copies and add an affidavit with other new documents," he said.
He concluded by saying that God has helped him to have his case reopened now three times and today he struggles to have at least one day in court to prove his innocence.
