I never imagined I would spend my retirement trying to understand court transcripts, forensic cellphone reports, disclosure records, and thousands of pages of legal documents. But that’s what I’ve been doing because my son, Daylo Robinson, has been sentenced as a Dangerous Offender and could spend the rest of his life in prison.

As a mother, I couldn’t simply accept that and walk away. The more our family reviewed the records, the more questions we found about the handling of digital evidence, disclosure, and other parts of the case. We believe those questions deserve careful, independent review through the legal process.

I’m not asking strangers to decide whether my son is innocent or guilty. I’m asking people not to ignore a family that’s desperately trying to make sure every piece of evidence has been properly examined.

If you’re a lawyer, journalist, digital forensics expert, wrongful-conviction advocate, or someone who has experience with the justice system, I would be grateful if you would take the time to speak with us or point us in the right direction.

I’m just a mother who loves her son. I live over 1,500 kilometres away from where his case was tried, and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t worry about him. I don’t have power or influence. All I have is my voice and the hope that someone will listen.

If you’ve read this far, thank you. Even sharing this post could help us reach someone who is willing to look at the evidence with fresh eyes.

A mother’s job is to fight for her children. I won’t stop fighting for mine.
