24- years ago he was convicted of raping and kidnapping a young girl in Halifax County.
But John David Simpson's sister says her brother didn't get a fair trial and she's taking her battle to Richmond.
Lucille Loppe says her brother's court-appointed attorney did a bad job - and failed to bring up several issues at trial.
Among those issues: that a juror was related to the victim AND was married to a Halifax County deputy sheriff.
Loppe and other Simpson supporters plan to stage a rally at the U-S Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
