Chance Deserves Better
The reason behind the Justice for Chance Edmiston campaign is simple, but serious, and happening all too often in the United States.
The suicide classification was made prematurely, immediately; before law enforcement even arrived on scene.
Police records show the case was proclaimed as “suicide/non-criminal” at the moment the 911 calls were placed.
The shot that took Chance's life occurred outside, in Chance Edmiston's own front yard.
The crime scene was never secured or preserved.
At least one civilian was invited on scene by Law Enforcement, and allowed full, sometimes unsupervised, access to the entire crime scene.
The scene and evidence were never processed in any meaningful way.
The scene was so heavily compromised, it cannot be reconstructed.
