Escaped Inmate Pleads to Trump for Help: 'I Couldn't Afford a Lawyer'

A viral video shows Antoine Massey, an alleged escaped inmate from the Orleans Parish Jail in New Orleans, Louisiana, making a desperate plea for help from former President Donald Trump. Massey claims he was "let out" of jail and not an escapee. He states, "I couldn't even afford a lawyer to prove my innocence." The video, which has garnered significant attention on social media, raises concerns about potential flaws in the jail's release procedures and the challenges faced by indigent defendants in accessing legal representation. Authorities have yet to comment on the specifics of Massey's case, but the video has sparked a public discussion on the issues of justice and equal access to legal aid. The incident underscores the need for increased resources and attention to ensure fair treatment within the criminal justice system.
