About this listen

I walked into the courtroom expecting justice. Instead, I found a system designed to silence me.

Jhovanny Maxi returned from vacation in March 2023 to find his world turned upside down. Falsely accused. Misjudged. Stripped of his home. Standing in a courtroom where he was the only Black person—and the judge was white.

The legal system was against him from the start. He was charged $1,500 for requesting a translator, offered $1,000 for a home worth over half a million, and ignored at every turn.

When his lawyer failed him, Jhovanny fired him and did the unthinkable—he represented himself and won.
