Writ of Habeas Corpus Filed and Denied!



    During the week of  June 2, the family of Melvin Davis and LiCurtis Davis  filed a Writ of Habeas Corpus with the North Carolina Supreme Court. The document states that both men have been unlawfully, illegally and continually incarcerated since March 17, 2011. The charge of Contempt of Court order demanded they tear down their homes and be charged with trespassing on property that has been in their family for generations.
    Within days after filing, the writ was denied by the high court. The family believes that justice has not been served and will continue to fight for the freedom of Melvin and LiCurtis.
    The family’s first concern is for the health and safety of the Mr. Reels and Mr. Davis who have not been outdoors since 2011. Their health has deteriorated while being inhumanely detained in a jail designed for short-term incarnation with limited medical treatment and exercise.
