Justice for Pierre Rushing

Wednesday Jul 21, 2021
In the early hours of April 15, 2011, Dawonye Taylor was murdered in Oakland, California over a stolen iPod. The murderer then got back into a car with 3 other people and took off. Occupants in the car gave the police a description of the murderer and referred to him as "C". Weeks later, Pierre Rushing, an aspiring rapper who went by the nickname "Stank", would find himself arrested and charged with murder, even though he did not fit the description and had an alibi. Now he is fighting for his life claiming he was wrongfully convicted. Join us as we explore the lack of evidence that led to Pierre's conviction and examine the evidence that can prove his innocence. Hear from Pierre himself in an interview from prison and learn how you can help his case. #JusticeForPierre
