Freedom of Speech is NOT Free | The Silencing of Jerry Lee Clarke

In this premiere episode of Alabama Injustice, we sit down with Katherine Shelton, the daughter of Jerry Lee Clarke, to tell the story of how her father’s exercise of free speech turned into a life-altering nightmare.

Jerry Lee Clarke, a 66-year-old Alabama man, placed an anti-Trump sign on his own private property. What followed was months of harassment, vandalism, threats, and escalating pressure from neighbors and law enforcement. Instead of protection, Jerry was arrested, charged, and jailed — where he remains on an extraordinarily high bond, raising serious questions about due process, First Amendment rights, and unequal treatment under the law.

Katherine shares the devastating impact this has had on their family, including concerns about Jerry’s deteriorating health while in custody, limited access to medical care, and the emotional toll on his wife, children, and grandchildren. This episode walks through the events leading up to his arrest, the charges he faces, and why the family believes this case is about silencing dissent rather than public safety.

This series is for educational purposes and relies on publicly available news reporting, court records, and firsthand interviews. All individuals are presumed innocent unless proven guilty, and details may evolve as the legal process continues.
