Petition: Exonerate Vernon T. Bateman!

“I do want to say that I’m sorry to Vernon… I just want them to let him go. I want them to let him out of jail.”alleged victim in 2003

In 1998, Vernon T. Bateman was erroneously charged by the State of Indiana and convicted of rape, criminal deviant conduct, and confinement. At the age of 18, Bateman was given two 30-year sentences. Because they were to be served consecutively, the state essentially sentenced him to life in prison. After 26 years incarcerated, the misconduct and outright lies that led to his wrongful conviction started unraveling to such an extent that he was freed from physical captivity. In addition to the alleged victim, her brother, and many others calling for his freedom, the organized pressure from the public helped Vernon secure his release, but not his freedom.

After his release from physical prison in 2023, Bateman immediately entered a social prison. Despite the overwhelming evidence proving his innocence and confirming the corruption behind his initial conviction, Bateman still lives under house arrest with severe, arbitrary, and costly restrictions. He is still not able to live as a free man. This is an injustice to him, the alleged victim, and our community. We demand his immediate, full exoneration. Bateman should not have to continue to pay for a crime he did not commit! (For more information and additional details, read this article and watch this short documentary).

Bateman, now 44-years-old, spent over two decades fighting against a system that imprisoned him for a crime he didn’t commit. With the help of the community, we will help him finish this struggle so he can finally live his life as a fully exonerated man. At stake is not only Vernon’s life, but the entire well-being of our community and our world. Please sign and share this petition to demand his full exoneration immediately. A wrongful conviction of one is a wrongful conviction of all—we can’t let go, we must continue to show up on the side of justice!

We, the undersigned, demand that Vernon T. Bateman be immediately exonerated:
