pardon Ryan Holle. Holle is serving a life sentence for a crime he didn't commit.

Created by E.L. on April 12, 2014

Ryan Holle who had no prior record, is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole in Florida.

He was convicted of pre-meditated murder, even though no one, including the prosecutor, disputes that Ryan was asleep in his bed at home at the time of the crime.

Exactly what did Ryan Holle do? At a party in his apartment over ten years ago, he lent his car to his roommate and went to sleep. He had lent his car to his roommate many times before with no negative consequences. This time however his roommate and others committed a crime while using Ryan's car. Ryan was not involved. This is a miscarriage of justice.
