The letter says Shelby is a devoted mother of two with an impeccable career. It says the media made a scapegoat of Shelby in a national campaign against law enforcement.

It says Shelby's legal defense will cost more than $200,000 and urges people to donate through the non-profit charity called the National Center for Police Defense.
