Without our help, LaKeith Smith is expected to spend the rest of his life in an Alabama prison for murder, despite not killing anyone. How did this happen? In February 2015, LaKeith, who was 15 years old at the time, and a group of friends were involved in the break-ins of two unoccupied homes in Millbrook, Alabama. The teens were still present in one of the homes when local police officers arrived at the scene. During that encounter, one of the officers shot and killed LaKeith’s 16-year-old friend, A’Donte Washington. LaKeith was convicted on charges of theft and burglary, but it was the felony murder charge that held him legally responsible for the death of A’Donte, even though he didn’t kill him. LaKeith lost his friend and now faces losing the next 50 years of his life to prison. This case urgently deserves our attention because there is a chance LaKeith’s conviction could be overturned or he could be resentenced.
