My name is Lynn Noyes. I am a first time in trouble with the law - minus a paid speeding ticket woman. I have 2 children. I was a pre-k teachers aide prior to my arrest. I am form Portland Oregon. I have a wonderful family. I am a believer in Jesus Christ who has been my anchor in this storm. I’ve had a great deal of blessings in the brokenness of incarceration. I was stripped of all I love - to learn God must be first. I’ve accomplished a great deal of personal achievements in here and am pro-active within the community here inside. I come form a domestic violent marriage. My self worth and esteem were taken from me, as well as my voice. However, today, I am a healed, strong, confident survivor of abuse. I can say I am factually innocent of my charges. The crime I’m charged with occurred in California. I was at my home in Portland where I’ve always resided when the crime occurred. I have 25 to life concurrent charges. Since the perpetrators committed the crime in California, I was extradited and charged in California as a co-conspirator, a circumstantial one at that. I was hysterical when taken form my family, home life, state. I had no idea about the criminal system. I was given psychotropic medications for the first time in my life to calm me down. I’d never been apart from my children except a couple of vacations. I had a public defender who NEVER even attempted to defend me- ever. He coerced me under the influence of psychotropic meds to take a pleas bargain with a verbal assurance of a better deal later which never occurred. I don’t even recall most of the time I was in county jail due to the medication. So how could I possibly understand the legal system or the gravity of plea when I was innocent? Especially coming from a 7 year domestic violent marriage. No one has ever heard my truths, let alone defend me. I am sorry to the victim of the crime, it was a senseless tragedy, but I am not guilty of it. So I pray daily for post conviction relief by someone if God should lay it on their heart.
