Message: ‘Free Chuckie Sanders’

Friends, family say 90-year sentence excessive punishment for drug deal gone bad

FAIRMONT — On a day many set aside to celebrate the nation’s independence, one local man wants to call attention to the case of a family member who lacks what Americans treasure— freedom.

On a small plot of land that measures only 20 by 50 feet, John Edward White Sr. hopes to send out a big message. Earlier this week, White placed a yellow sign adorned with artificial flowers on the property that reads “Free Charles Sanders.”

White is referring to his cousin by marriage, Charles “Chuckie” Sanders, 45, who is currently serving a 90-year sentence at the Mt. Olive Correctional Complex in Fayette County.

On Thursday, White placed another sign made out of a sheet that reads “Free Chuckie Sanders — No Justice No Peace.”
