Gardner was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years after a jury found her guilty.But her family and friends say Gardner is a victim of East Cleveland Police corruption and was wrongfully convicted. At a press conference Saturday afternoon in front of East Cleveland City Hall, they called for her release from prison.
Sixteen East Cleveland cops have been indicted, some fired, for multiple charges including “tampering with records.” Gardner’s supporters believe she is a victim as her case falls within in that time period.Supporters say Ms. Gardner’s trial was marred with tampering when the recording of her 9-1-1 call was not available. Instead, an altered transcript was presented. Witnesses changed their stories from original interviews during trial.
