Petition for Justice and Fairness in the Case of Ja’Nyryah White For nearly a year, Ja’Nyryah White has been incarcerated while awaiting trial in connection with the tragic passing of her friend, April Tapia. Both young women were victims of the fentanyl crisis. They struggled with addiction together, and either one of them could have lost their life. Yet today, instead of being recognized as a survivor of addiction who has since become sober, Ja’Nyryah is being unfairly held and has been denied bond three times, without clear evidence tying her to April’s death. We believe Ja’Nyryah is not receiving a fair trial. The case has been repeatedly framed as “our family versus their family.” The influence of the other family — with a relative in the court system, a judge in another state, and a respected medical professional in the community — creates an imbalance that undermines justice. ⚖️ Justice should not depend on family names, professional standing, or influence. It should depend on truth, evidence, and fairness. Over this past year, Ja’Nyryah has done something remarkable: she has gotten sober. She is healthy, rebuilding her life, and has a strong support system waiting for her. She deserves the chance to continue her recovery outside of a jail cell. We are calling on the court to: - Grant Ja’Nyryah White a fair bond reduction. - Ensure she receives an impartial trial judged on evidence, not influence. - Recognize her progress in sobriety and the support she has behind her. Please add your name to this petition to demand fairness and justice for Ja’Nyryah White. She is not a scapegoat. She is not responsible for April’s death. She is a survivor, and she deserves a chance to move forward with her life.
