Kenyan Teen in the US Seeks Financial Support to Hire Defense Attorney

Kenyans living in the US have organized a fundraiser to raise money for a Kenyan teenager who is currently in custody.
19-year-old Michael Kuria is accused of an offense that could see him spend the rest of his life behind bars if found guilty, according to reports.
The Kenyan community in Washington state is seeking to raise legal fees amounting to $33,850 to ensure he gets proper legal representation.
Kuria, who recently finished high school, lives in Washington together with his 16-year-old sister who has been working to rent a place for him in case he is granted bail.
His parents live in Kenya and are unable to travel to the US to help their son, say organizers of the fundraiser.
Monetary donations can be sent via CashApp: $NWKENYANC or Zelle: 206-308-9312.

I’d be helpful to get more details about this offense. Donors like to know the cause they are giving to. There are a lot of unanswered questions and a lot that was left out on this article. At any rate, I hope he’s innocent.

The question is did he rape or murder someone or both.
This are the only serious crimes that can make him spend the rest of his life in jail.
Also let's remember as an African he will receive a harsher sentence because of his name and because of what TRUMP has been preaching. The judges always make examples with kids like him.
Even with us contributing, let's put him in our prayers.
Also as Kenyans we need to help his little sister.

Of course alot of information is missing.I would chance to say it's deliberately left out,or there will be a follow-up.For example many well wishers would be hard pressed to assist a"Abad boy" .
And for those who are recommending prayers,what exactly do they want the prayers to say? How about the "victim".

A 19 year old looking to spend the rest of his life in jail?? Come on guys, you can’t ask others to donate money without telling the whole story! Did he kill someone, rape, driving without a license, etc!!??
The problem with Kenyans in the diaspora is talking in parables! Come clean and people will be willing to help!
We don’t want to give money and then we find out it was a scam, just like we have donated money for supposedly dead people back home only to find out later it was a scam!!

This is apparently a real case. This young man is accused of molesting the child of his host family. It’s a extremely sad case. Based on the account given by his mom in Kenya, he sounds like he’s innocent. Let’s rally up and see how we can this young guy. He needs his day in court for a fair trial.
