After attempting to kill his mother numerous times, Eric Simms was removed from her home with the help of her niece, Alice Weiss, who filed a Protection Order.

In 2021, at the time of her arrest, Alice Weiss was a disabled senior who from her wheelchair dedicated her retirement years to community volunteerism, fostering sick animals, registering new voters and helping handicapped seniors access their social security and veteran’s benefits. The police said she was arrested because of “new evidence" - the new evidence being Eric Simms’ false statement made seven years earlier in 2014.

Missouri Senator Roy Blunt (Republican) announced his retirement in March 2021…, and his seat was up for re-election in November 2021.

Attorney General Eric Schmitt wanted to benefit politically from the false arrest of an elderly and innocent woman - Alice Weiss.
Alice’s case is about justice, fairness, and truth. Your donation will:
