Character Letter for Judge

Respected sir or madam,

I am writing this character letter for Mr. or Ms. [mention the name of the person] who has been recently taken to court under theft charges at [mention the name of the corporation or organization]. I can give you an assurance that he or she is not that kind of a person.

It has been now [mention the time period] that I have known him or her. I live next to the defendant at [mention the location] and I have watched and observed him or her for a long time. I have been friends with the defendant and he or she has always helped me whenever I faced any issues. He or she also saved my life once when I [mention the incident in detail]. 

I am very much aware that right now I am speaking to the honorable judge of [mention the court name] and I am telling you truthfully, whatever I know about the defendant. He or she has always lived a good life and has never harmed anyone. There are no criminal records of him or her. I am sure that he or she hasn’t done anything.

The day he or she is accused of stealing confidential papers from the office, he or she told me on the phone that he or she hasn’t done anything. In fact, someone is trying to trap him or her for a crime that he or she hasn’t committed. Knowing the kind of person he or she is, I strongly believe that this is a conspiracy against him or her.

I would sincerely request you to look into the matter thoroughly before making any decision, otherwise, an innocent person will be charged guilty and would suffer for a crime that he or she hasn’t done. It will also destroy his or her personal as well as professional image forever.

I hope the truth will come to light soon.

Sincerely,

[mention your full name]

Character Letter for Judge

Respected sir or madam,

This character letter is written by me for [mention the name of the accused] who has recently been dragged to court under sexual harassment charges. I can say that he hasn’t done anything.

Ever since the last [mention the number of years] I have known him and I am not only his colleague but a close friend of him as well. He is an honest, sincere, responsible, and sweet person who always went out of his way to help others.

I cannot tell you how many times, he has helped me both personally as well as professionally. He is the kind of person who helps but doesn’t ask anything in return. He has a small family of 3, where he lives with his old parents and he is from the good family background.

Being a colleague, I have never seen him drinking or smoking at office parties or doing any sort of misbehavior with any woman. He in fact like a true gentleman has dropped colleagues to their homes whenever they were drunk. He has never expressed any sort of discomfort and there have never been any complaints against him.

I am pretty much sure that someone is trying to ruin his good reputation. The day he was charged, he told me that [mention it in detail and truthfully, whatever the defendant has told you]. I really don’t think that he can do such a thing. He has always been found respectful towards women.

It is my sincere request to you to please carefully look into the matter before taking the final decision. If an innocent person suffers then it will destroy his life forever. He or she won’t be able to live a good life anymore and that will scar his mind and heart as well.

I hope truth wins in the end.

Sincerely,

[mention your full name]

Character Letter for Judge

Honorable sir or madam,

I am writing this character letter for [mention the name of the suspect] who has been accused of demotivating a child intentionally and treating the kid badly. I can say with all my heart that he or she isn’t such a person.

I and the accused have been working together for more than [mention the number of years] now, in the same institution, and being an educator, I can say this for a fellow educator whom I have closely observed for such a long time, that he or she isn’t such a cruel person at all. In fact, he or she is more patient in handling kids and has always found to have loved and cared for them.

I have, not even once seen him or her even raising his or her voice and scolding a student. He or she has always been kind and encouraged kids that they can do well and grow well in life. He or she has given every possible effort for not only the betterment of the institution but students as well. 

About his or her character, I can further say that he or she is an honest, diligent, and good person who always likes to help others, and be there whenever someone needs him or her. I know that right now I am addressing this letter to the honorable judge and I am also fully aware of the consequences of lying. Whatever I am saying, every word of mine is true.

The kid who is said to have been demotivated, is always in fact, encouraged by [mention the name of the accused] for doing good. He or she is academically weak, so I have always seen the defendant guiding him or her to his or her best capabilities.

I don’t know what exactly happened but I can still guarantee that there must have been some confusion. The defendant can never do such a thing and that too to a child.

I would request you to kindly look into this matter more before taking the final call.

I hope that truth wins and the defendant comes clear.

Sincerely,

[mention your full name]

Character Letter for Judge

Honorable sir or madam,

This character letter is written by me for [mention the name of the accused] who is recently accused to be threatening [mention the name of the person]. I can guarantee you that he or she isn’t such a person.

We have been working together in [mention the name of the firm or organization] for [mention the number of years], we started the same day and from what I have observed about him or her, I can once again assure you that he or she can never even think of doing such a thing. Mixing with him or her, I have come to know that he or she is a calm and cool-headed person, he or she has never raised his or her voice or created any scene ever. He or she is a supportive, helpful and sincere person, always smiling and spreading positivity.

Professionally too, he or she has a lot of respect not only for our boss but for the colleagues as well. He has even willingly done the work of some when they couldn’t come to the office for personal reasons. I have never seen him or her expressing any displeasure or complaining about anything.

With [mention the name of the person who was called to be threatened], he or she has always shared a good relationship and has always been on good talking terms. I was really surprised when such a charge was made against him.

I believe that some miscommunication has happened or something is off. The defendant can never do such a thing, knowing well that this can ruin his or her life for good.

Please get this matter thoroughly investigated sir or madam. I know even you won’t want an innocent person’s life getting over for good.

I truly hope that [mention the name of the accused] comes out clear and can again live a good life.

Sincerely,

[mention your full name]

Sample Character Letter to Judge Before Sentencing Template

Respected sir or madam,

I am writing this letter for [mention the name of the defendant] who is recently taken to the court under the charge of misbehaving with an office colleague and I can say that he or she isn’t such a human being.

I work in the same office, [mention the name of the corporation or organization] as a [mention your position there] and I have known him or her for [mention the time period]. Ever since he or she first joined the company, he or she has always brought positivity to the atmosphere whenever he or she entered the office. He or she is a kind individual who always helps others in times of need. 

He or she has helped many colleagues plenty of times and I have seen how in spite of having an excessive workload of his or her own, he or she went out of his or her way and helped others, or how he or she took the blame for others’ mistakes. I told him or her that he or she shouldn’t be so kind and naïve but he or she has always said that he or she will try to do his or her best not only for the corporation but for its people as well. I have always held him or her in the highest regard for this reason.

The person who hurled accusations against such a man or woman, I hardly saw him or her in any sort of argument with the suspect in the office. In fact, he or she always maintained a warm professional relationship with the suspect. I don’t know what went so wrong that [mention the name of the defendant] was falsely accused and dragged to court. I think there is some sort of conspiracy going into this.

I would request you to kindly look into this matter as I believe that [mention the name of the accused] is an innocent person. Whatever I mentioned in this letter, word by word was nothing but the truth.

Thank you so much for your valuable time.

Sincerely,

[mention your name]

Sample Character Letter to Judge Before Sentencing

Respected sir or madam,

This letter is written by me for [mention the name of the person] who has recently been charged for stealing money from [mention the name of the company or organization]. In my opinion, [mention the name of the person] hasn’t done any such thing and he or she is not guilty.

I am the suspect’s colleague as well as a friend. We joined the corporation together around [mention the time period] back. I have observed him or her carefully since then and I have always found him or her to be a nice person. When we joined the office in the same department, I got along really well with him or her. He or she has a very easy-going and friendly personality. He or she also helped me initially to settle down in this company, as I am an introvert by nature.

Whenever I couldn’t come to the office, [mention the name of the person] had my back and managed my duties on my behalf, never complaining. He or she also told me once how he or she rejected a job offer in the past and that too in [mention the name of the company] a notable one, where he or she was offered [mention the salary] per annum, but for that he or she needed to relocate to some other country and he or she rejected it because he or she gave greater importance to his or her family and not any job.

Such a person who loves his or her family and rejects such a golden opportunity can’t be a thief, I am sure of that, sir or madam. I strongly believe that someone is trying to frame him or her.

So, it is my sincere request to you to please get this case thoroughly investigated before coming to any sort of decision.

I hope that truth wins and my friend gets justice.

Sincerely,

[mention your name]

Sample Character Letter to Judge Before Sentencing

Respected sir or madam,

My name is [mention it]; I am the brother of [mention the name of the accused] who is charged with murder attempt of [mention the name of the person]. I strongly believe that he or she hasn’t done anything.

I belong to humble family background and in my family, there is just me, my elder brother or sister, and my mother. [Mention the name of the suspect] has always been a hardworking, diligent, responsible person right from his or her childhood. He or she has worked hard to give our family a good life, making money to make both ends meet and supporting me to gain a good education. In fact, to help me get a proper education, he or she left his or her studies and worked double shifts. I feel I am truly blessed to get such a sibling. 

He or she looked after our mother who suffers from [mention a disease], taking care of her, and doing the household chores as well. He or she has always been a kind person, helping others whenever he or she can. Multiple times, I have seen him or her helping homeless people with food and clothes, supporting them as much as he or she could. 

The day he or she was accused of such a grave crime, he or she was with me at [mention the place] as I needed help with some personal issue. That day he or she left work early and was beside me the rest of the day. This is a false accusation that has been made against him or her, sir or madam. If you want then you can also get it checked, whether what I said is true or not. Knowing that right now I am addressing the respected judge, I will never dare to lie.

Please, sir or madam, kindly look into this case. If my sibling is sentenced for something which he or she hasn’t done, not only he or she but our entire family will suffer forever.

Sincerely,

[mention your name]

Sample Character Letter To Judge Before Sentencing

Respected sir or madam,

I am composing this letter for [mention the name of the accused], who is charged with hurling insults and threats. I strongly believe that he or she hasn’t done anything like that.

Right from my college days, I have known [mention the name of the accused], and he or she is a very dear friend of mine. We also live close to each other’s apartment. He or she shares everything with me, every little incident. He or she is a frank person and has never hidden anything from me. As I have known him or her for a very long time, I can tell when he or she is lying, but believe me, sir or madam, he or she isn’t that type of a person.

I have always seen him or her living a good life, doing good deeds, and helping others. He or she can be playful at times, playing pranks, but he or she knows his or her limit and can never cross that. Whenever anyone needed him or her, he or she was always there. I still can’t believe how such a thing can happen to him or her, how he or she can be falsely accused.

I have never even seen him or her raising his or her voice on anyone ever; then how he or she can hurl insults and threaten his or her senior, I really don’t know. I believe that someone is trying to trap him or her, and this is some serious conspiracy for ruining his or her life forever.

It is my humble request to you, sir or madam, please see to this matter a bit more before coming to any decision. Otherwise, an innocent person may have to pay a price for a crime that he or she hasn’t done.

I truly and sincerely hope that the truth comes to light and my friend gets justice.

Sincerely,

[mention your name]
