Urgent: Help Anthony Shreve fight for innocence!

Our family urgently needs your help to save my brother, Anthony Ray Shreve, a disabled, innocent man held in Ashtabula County, OH (Case 2026CR00043). Anthony has severe cognitive limitations, yet his public defenders are actively violating his rights. They refused to allow him in court for his last hearing, where he would have tried to talk to the judge. The attys refuse to help him sign a release to talk to them, defamed me to sherrif, ignore any contact I have made, they missed court ordered competency tests, have filed motion wihtout his consent, told him I cannot advocate for his rights in any way or testify because I am CO. They went to him a few weeks ago and told him he was guilty and needed to take a plea. He has said they speak too fast for him to follow, and coerced him into a speedy trial waiver he couldn’t understand. When I tried to alert the courts, his lawyers threatened me. The case has also been talked about outside of the courtroom.

We turned to the ACLU and Disability Rights Ohio (DRO), Chandra Law for help, but these organizations refused to step in. Our family is completely on our own. We found an aggressive private defense firm independent of local county politics, but the total retainer is $15,000, with a strict $7,500 down payment required to start.

WE NEED ANY HELP POSSIBLE. If you cannot donate, please help us by sharing this link. If you are an Ohio criminal defense attorney who can offer pro bono help, a flexible payment plan, or advice, please contact us immediately. We also desperately need media outlets, bloggers, or advocates to help expose this corruption. Please help us protect a vulnerable man from a predatory system.

Prayers always appreciated.
