Greetings

I have written several articles recently only to throw them away. To say the stress has been heavy is truly an understatement. Mail has as well been slow. Then loss in personal issues! I start to wonder how much can a person really deal with. My life seems to stay in a permanent state of chaos. I admit that I tend to rebel against anyone and everything that gets close to me. Maybe it’s my way of avoiding responsibility, or a fear of failure. Well better yet a fear of success. It always seems that once everything starts going good, I do something to mess it up.

Awhile back on of my associates and I was talking on the outside rec yard about some problems in my personal life. He told me "man you are a fuck up for real" I responded with "hey you got to be good at something". One day I will get it right!

On to other things. Once again these people tried to feed us just one egg for breakfast (along with 2 biscuits, grits, and scoop of canned fruit). We are supposed to get 2 eggs. A section as well as B section made no protest. However that changed once the guards made it to C section. Mr. Kerr woke me up yelling about the eggs. Once I found out the problem, I naturally joined in. The officers ended up going to the kitchen and coming back with the extra eggs. I objected to A&B section getting the extra egg due to their failure to speak out and allowed the guards to make it all the way to C section, thought the guards still gave it to them.

One of the great things about the system oppressing is it upsets the people. The people then focus on the common enemy and strive to achieve a common goal. The commissary staff seems to think that they do not have to work to earn their tax payers check. My pod last went to commissary on the 8th of the month. They say we don't go back until the 28th. 20 days before we can get stamps, hygiene and or food items. My concern is the stamps. We are supposed to go every 14 days. But I can suffer I just point out to everyone else how they keep screwing us over.
Next topic, I would like for everyone to PLEASE go to http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnRoZWp1c3RpY2Vwcm9qZWN0Lm9yZw== and read the article "Convicting the innocent: Texas justice derailed" It is a very informative article. Please everyone take a few minutes to read it. Thanks. I had some additional statements posted that are related to my appeal. One being from my 5th grade teacher. I wanted to explain something about it. In it she mentions me bringing a gun to school. I was 9 years old. A kid on the bus had a cap gun (a toy fun that takes a ring of caps and pops like a real gun when you pull the trigger, but nothing comes out of the barrel, I explained that as I don't know if they sell them overseas)

I didn't have my cap gun anymore. So I got an antique pistol off the fireplace mantel and took it to school. The gun didn't work, plus there was no bullets for that caliber of a pistol in our house. Which is why it was on the mantel as a show piece. The working guns my mom and stepfather owned was kept in another location locked up. Only the antique rifles and shotguns and that one pistol was in open display.

Point is I took a collectors piece to school, NOT a loaded machine gun to go on a reign of terror. The bad thing about it all? Right around the time I done this there was a school shooting in Arkansas. Now if I wanted to could I have gotten to the other guns? of course. But my goal was not to take a gun to school. It was to take a toy to school to partake in a cops and robbers game with a fellow student. Though the school was not too amused.

I explained that as I got several that are steadily trying to keep me in the most negative light possible. Texas carried out its 13th execution this year. It seems the pace will slow down for a while, the next date is 4/30. I am actually surprised that there aren't more dates scheduled. There is around 70 that qualify for an execution date. The year isn't over with so we shall see how it goes.

Next issue. If there is anyone that wants to write someone here. There is a guy here that doesn't write anyone. He has been here a year and has no one!!!! He was sentenced from Ft Worth Texas. His name is Christopher Wilkins. You can get his prison # by going to http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnRkY2ouY29tL2RlYXRocm93b2ZmZW5kZXJz. He doesn't have any funding for stamps. So if anyone is interested in writing him and helping make life a little more tolerable until the state executes him, you can find the guidelines for sending offenders funds on the http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnRkY2ouY29t web site. it will list approved vendors such as http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmpwYXkuY29t and others. Most of his life has been in prison, so that he has walked a vastly different life than most reading this. I appreciate anyone that writes him. It is best for people to write him that don't write anyone else here. Believe it or not, but there is usually some bullshit drama when people write several people at the same place.
Anyways I am going to wrap this one up. I haven't gotten any of the MySpace messages in several weeks, so I couldn't respond to them.
Take care everyone.

I leave as I came.

I was thinking about something the other day. Life is a box. If a person is arrested for a capital crime and given the death in Texas. From start to end that person will never leave a box. The jail cells are shaped like boxes and a casket is a box.

I was talking to a guy about post execution desires. he said he wanted to be cremated and his ashes spread over a location in Africa. I said "hell no I aint trying to get burnt up and I don’t want to be buried in a casket", He pointed out I had a real dilemma. He asked why not a casket. I pointed out that it was going from a single man box to another! I want to be made into a statue? like how a taxidermist does deer and bear and other animals. I think that is illegal in the US though. For some reason death has been on my mind lately. maybe due to the different direction my case has taken. I have better chances so death is more of a concern. When I did not have lawyers that actually cared. Death seemed more certain. So there was an acceptance of it so to speak. It is really hard to explain, though I am sure most understand. Friedrich Nietzsche said "hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man." In my current situation these words ring true. It is easy for people to say be positive and all that. Sure I can have hope of positive outcome but I am faced with a stark reality. Texas killed 4 people in 2 weeks! Last year china killed at least 1718, Iran 346, Saudi Arabia got 102, the United States got 37 and Pakistan 36. A good crowd we run with here.

I went back to UTMB hospital to have my other wisdom tooth cut out. I didn’t have the problem I did last time with the medication. Though I was ten times more nervous. they put us to sleep for oral surgery. Well they hooked me up to an IV and a oxygen/pulse and blood pressure monitor. When she turned it on and the guy started the IV my heart rate jumped from the 53 beats per minute to like over 80. She asked me if I was okay. I just said "hell naw!". the doctor was cool though and that helped. I think he understood my concern about getting put to sleep, so they did not use as much chemical that puts you out. I was in and out all thru the surgery. Where as the first time, I was out cold. I woke up in my cell bed. This time I was talkin to the guard about death penalty issues in post operation monitoring. I also noticed a huge difference from the prison hospital and the unit nurses. the nurses all work for UTMB out of Galveston Texas, but they are stationed at units around Texas. The nurses in Galveston acted like free world nurses. the doctor and nurses were nice, polite and treated me like a normal human being. Where as here most got snotty attitudes. I guess that could be related to having to deal with all the inmates? THAT can get on anyone’s nerves as there are some unique individuals in prison to say the least.

I don’t like being on meds as it just more that I have to deal with... I have had to jack the food slot and all kinds of stuff for my pain meds. The guard I refused to let close my food slot, saw me later playing basketball and eating ice cream on the rec. yard as is was commissary day. She pointed all that out next time she seen me and said "your ass wasn’t in no pain!" I just laughed and said "it’s about getting what I am supposed to have."

Now, my struggle is over the medical mouth wash I am supposed to get twice a day for 14 days. There is this nurse, I don’t know her name, I just call her clown face as she wears an ungodly amount of makeup and has very poor and ugly dye job on her hair. My mom was a cosmetologist so I pay attention to these things. Haha O- a not to all ladies, dudes really prefer less or no makeup on you. with hardly any makeup on it makes the woman more confident and more approachable. A little makeup shows u care about your appearance but not trying to alter anything. so less is best. Anyways, back to clown face, she never brings my mouth rinse. as you can guess this really really bothers me! She is the only one who does not bring it and gives a bullshit excuse about it. Long sigh, Always something.

O yeah before I forget they gave us spoiled beans again. I spoke up and a couple others as my section joined me in it. Rank said we would get a supplement. they lied! we didn’t get shit...so now I got lied to which upset me more then the beans. so when that working shift came back to work, I tried to talk to rank, though they had numerous use of forces, so I waited till the next day and jacked the slot. the officers was like man that was a week ago! I said I don’t give a damn, there isn’t no statute of limitations on you people messing me over! Another reason I pushed the issue is a guy popped off "I see you still waiting on them beans!" so I said I am gonna get mine!!!! SO ego came into play ;). Long story short I got my supplement... again! which I promptly pointed out to my fellow inmate who made his snide remark haha.

My lawyers recently filed my appeal in state court. that had only 30 days to do so. I received my copy 2 days ago. I liked it. Now comes the wait to see what happens next! always the wait. Some good news is that portions of that are to be added to my DVD should be on its way to the needed people. I swear such a simple task has turned into a 2 yr project worthy to challenge the attempt at democracy in Iraq. I figure I would have a better chance at getting peace in the middle east then getting my DVD done and ready to go. Hopefully Vera gets everything soon! Nothing else really going on in life. I read " the kite runner" then " the old man and the sea" and now I am finishing up "a thousand splendid suns" I really like this one. I am not finished so I can’t say if I like it better then "the kite runner" but so far so good. There seems to be a problem with some of my web sites, I am trying to get more and more legal work posted. hopefully all that gets sorted soon.

With that I am gone. I leave as I came.

Greetings!

Well I finally got some rest and been playing catch up on my backed up letters as well as going over my legal work so I can send some ideas to my lawyers. I do want to cover a few things real fast, well things people have wrote Judi, hey Vera sent me your words. Thanks! On Radley I used to get Reason magazine I really liked it! It is good. The article you mentioned I actually had it on my DVD, but Vera is having to check to make sure it is okay for me to use, you know copyright and all. ( I liked the article as it points out these forensic mills that the state uses. Same with the Houston crime lab. Hopefully Radley will allow me to use his article; if not well then maybe I can post it on my site. Hey what part of North Carolina you from Judi? I used to live out there. Even met Dale Ernharts mother!

Anyways, I doubt that Oprah will do anything, but we do got a better shot with Drew Carey and Reason. Namely if the focus is on the state writ (appeal) process in Texas If the legal work from my appeal on Lisa Milstein is posted on my sites, then you will see what I mean! If it isn't posted yet, it will be soon! Anyways, I wanted to write some stuff about my DVD again real fast. As I do know that there are many that are waiting on it some have already paid for it. Well some of the delays is because of some of the footage was not properly transferred such as films of me as a child. Plus break downs in communication with people. ( Always something. Anyways I as well was going to add the police chase video, however that was sent to someone to help transfer the footage and what do you know, but more bullshit delays! Hopefully by now the footage has been sent as was requested to my sister.

Anyways, the point is that the delays are not my fault. Nor are they Veras. There has just been one problem after another. Hopefully it is all sorted by now, however due to time delays and such and a desire to get the DVD our as fast as possible, the DVD will not have the footage of the police chase and childhood videos. The disk isn't exactly a book, it is a collection of my poems and some articles. I called it a book to simplify it. I am trying to get it done as fast as possible, hopefully people will put aside ridiculous personal problems that are only harming me and work together so that I can get it completed. To those that already ordered it, I am again sorry for the delays. I wanted to make it as best as possible, so that each person feels they got their money's worth. Hopefully in six weeks it will be complete! Now that the judge has sent me back to state court I am pushing harder for it to be completed. My goal is to still try to get the other videos on the disk. Plus some additional information. Anyways. Hopefully the CCA will accept and allow me to go back to the district court I was sentenced out of, so that I can refile some appeal issues. It will put me one step closer to a new trial (as I said to everyone please bare with me on the DVD, maybe it is already out by the time this is posted! if not than hopefully soon. The deadline is six weeks) Jessi please make a copy of that disk and get it to Vera, Thanks.

Well it seems that the powers they be have limited our trips to commissary so now we cannot get as many stamps! ( This is part of the reason in the delay of me responding to people. They used to allow us to buy food item and hygiene one week and the next week buy more stamps. But they haven't been doing that. There is no real reason to not let us buy stamps like this. Only out of retaliation. You know this is what doesn't make any sense. TDCJ is always talking bout how little money they got yet they do not allow us to hardly ever get commissary. The more money they let us spend the more money they make. Yet they would rather oppress us and limit us, than to make money so as to implement the security ideas that they cry about not being able to, due to lack of money. They also complain about there is nothing they can do to us since we are on death row if we hurt an officer or whatever, yet they do not want to give us access to telephone programs as population inmates are getting. This could be a means of control for them as well revenue! A person acts up they get phone restriction! Also they could sell us TV's they say no because they don't sell them to population. This is bullshit! Population, even close custody has TV's! Plus they sell population all kinds of stuff they don't sell us. Craft item, multi outlet plugs, and even other kinds of shoes and jump ropes and such. So the only reason for them not to sell us TV's is to oppress. However all the officers wish they would, so that there would be less interaction plus another control tool. If there was TV's and also better access to phones TDCJ would make more money and have better control tools to reduce rule violations.

They say that they would have to do it for ad seg, NOT true! Ad seg is in such a situation due to violent acts or being confirmed STG gang members. Only gangs that they lock up is Aryan Circle, Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, Mexican Mafia, Texas Syndicate, Texas Mafia, Barrio Azteca and Raza United. So seg inmates are there for a reason. So it is easy to justify not giving them access to TV and telephones. But death row has to be in this environment. We aren't locked down for rule violations. There is some rumour that there are officers and ranks trying to get us TV's, NOT to help us, but to better control us. Several officers wish they would give us group recreation. However there are few that are scared and don't want that. The ones that don't want it are the dudes for the most part. I just want to be able to buy some damn stamps! I come up to this stupid ass level one and can't even hardly get any stamps.

Well enough ranting this time. I will make sure that all are updated on the progress of my case. Once again I would like to apologize to those who already ordered the DVD, it will be out soon! I as well want to thank the many of you that put forth effort in getting word out about my case even though you don't know me. My goal at this time is to get my DVD completed and get as much promotion to it as possible, as well as to get some additional media attention. The song this week is Brad Paisley, “I'm still a guy”, it’s a funny song. Well humorous.
That’s all folks! I leave as I com

Greetings.

Well the last week surely has been emotionally draining. I had a special visit with Vera. It shocked me at how much energy it took out of me. Plus I was consumed with worry every night and could hardly sleep. I always seem to think of the worst situations! I wanted her to come, have good visits, and then get back home safely. Something about flying over a big open span of water makes me nervous! Anyways it was truly a joy to get to see her. Time flew by SO FAST! ( Then came the last visit and having to watch her leave. (long sigh). As I said the visits take a lot out of you. Though I did enjoy the fact that I could report good news to her. As well as to all of you reading this. The federal judge sent me back to state court to refile some unresolved appeal issues. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has to accept to review the claims. If they do then I will go back into the district court, which is the court I had my trial in. This is a very good thing as it helps me get my claims that were not presented due to the screw ups of my previous lawyers, presented to the courts in a proper manner.

This article will be short as I am very tired and got to get some sleep. The battle only gets more intense. Hopefully the people holding up the completion of my DVD will stop doing so, so I can get it sent out and moving forward! I always got some delay due to other people ( I will write an additional article in a few days. Also my sister Christy will be getting more of my legal work posted here for people to see more of the errors of my case, as well as my website http://www.%20saveaninnocentlife.com/

Thank you for your attention

Here I sit beating up my typewriter, listening to Carrie Underwood- 'just a dream'. I tell ya what that little girl can sing! Though she doesn’t have nothing on Miranda Lambert. But I am biased seeing how Miranda is my favourite. I got to hear her new song. "more like her' Its good, though not better then kerosene and other hits that she has. As most can tell I am finally on level one again. I was level two or three since May 15th 2008! I just made level one Feb. 6 2009. Normally it only takes three months but I am not normal so I always stay way longer than average.

I just refused to shave and got use of force and other cases. None the less here I am on the great level one. :( the only thing about level one is visits and commissary food items. both are items used to control us. O and this radio that plays the same commercially promoted songs over and over again. I would rather be resisting my captor’s attempts at control of me until they murder me. Which is there desire. Thus separating any affection and understanding of their job and or rules.

Though Vera, whom has done so much for me, has asked me to try to stay out of trouble and stay on level one as much as I can. So I decided to give it another try. I normally can tolerate level one for about 2 months. So we shall see. It never seems to amaze me at how most of the hostages of this place are clueless to their fate. They know they got a death sentence, but they really do not KNOW! They usually don’t fully realize it until they get a execution date. Most have this hope that they will get some relief from the courts. Though that really is a stroke of luck or divine intervention. As it depends on the lawyer the condemned has as well as the judge over his trial and the federal judge that he gets once getting to his federal appeals. I have been given some good lawyers. That really did allot for my federal appeal. There was much more they could do and wanted to do but ran out of time. My appeal is 1300 pages. Which is like 4 times larger than 90% of the death case federal appeals filed! It really could have been way larger. Yet the state is still trying to kill me.

Damn this stressful life! :( The state files their response tomorrow. I am really eager to see what all was filed. I should be able to speak with my lawyers in a couple days as they have a deadline of 12 days to file some papers. So I will have an idea of the next step. I got good people on my side. The three lawyers I got now are better then I ever had on my appeal. The other clowns that I had was doing nothing more than sharpening the needle for the state. I actually get along with these lawyers. I mean during a legal I can actually laugh and leave the visit with a smile. Before I would be so mad I would be shaking, due to the past lawyers. Because two of my lawyers work for the federal public defenders office I got really nervous when they first got on my case, as it was a federal judge that appointed them. I am the only Texas death row inmate with such. But I was also given Donld Vernay out of New Mexico. He has a good reputation as well, so I really don’t know what to think. Then I met with my lawyers from California, with the public defenders office. I gave them the usual speech of " no one listens to me, if you will just listen to me I promise everything I say will prove to be true, I am not going to waster your time and bullshit." they said they would look into it. I just thought “yeah I heard that before." But then as time progressed I seen they was really looking. Everything I said they were able to find to be true. See the best thing about that is that in a hearing to remove my old lawyers from my case, I stood up and told the judge every claim I made in my personal letters to the court, I can prove if I just had a lawyer that would listen to me and do something. Well my appeal helps to show everyone that I was not lying. So just a few more steps and a little more time and I will have a better idea of how my future will be. I have been meaning to get some more of my legal work posted but I have had some other issues to contend with. I should have it posted on my http://www.saveaninnocentlife.com/ site soon.

Anyway onto other things. Due to the great Texas cell phone scandal they have moved everyone on death row around. I actually moved like three times in a week! Though that was more due to level status change. Most have not been able to get commissary because of mocking around to other pods. Plus since commissary is used as a means of control, the powers that be are limiting it. Maybe it will help break the holid it has on most people here and they wake up one day and think "you know what that commissary is trash they keep screwing us over. To hell with passive level one shit." I just mostly care about stamps so I can get my letters mailed. My thoughts are kind of jumbled right now. I got allot on my mind and i even got a headache. I used to never get them though lately I have been. Maybe it is stress. I had some complications with the nerves in the left side of my face though lately has not been bothering me. It was just a sensation that was in the left side of my face. It was not bells palsy or whatever it is called. Plus I had a spot on the inside of my left thigh, it matched all the characteristics of skin cancer, at least from eh descriptions of magazines. When a nurse seen it he raised his eye brows and said “you will see a doctor tomorrow" well this clown of a doctor comes to my door. Now I am on f pod a the time and f pod has doors with two metal screens and plexi glass on the doors. The glass has grime from fire and pepper spray on it. Basically it is not the clearest thing to see through.

Well the doctor says let me see the place. Now he is standing like three feet away and looking thru the glass and two metal screens and just as soon as he sees it, not even a split second later. "O that’s just a skin tag, your okay" so I said "well what about the redness and the fact it is sore and bigger than it was a week ago?" Well the clown said " O its just infected!" and walked off. So I said out loud "how the hell a skin tag going to get infected?!" SO as he left I called him as assortment of idiots, dumbass and commie doctor and etc. There is another doctor here I am going to try to get him to look at it. It hasn’t gotten any worse since and I don’t exactly get sunlight that much...more so on the inside of my left thigh! I mean free I have been accused of keeping my clothes off, more than on..:) haha, but this is prison! Plus I don’t have a family history of it. SO the doctor might be right. It just pissed me off that he did not take a better look at it or order a biopsy. Though so is the product of contract healthcare. T.D.C.J. doesn’t have any power over the medical branch. I think this was set up as a protection from liability.

Some of the people that have been around for awhile or have read my old articles on my saveaninnocentlife.com site, know about my last trip to the prison hospital in Galveston Texas to get a wisdom tooth cut out of my head. Well they lost my chart and didn’t give me any pain pills or anti-biotic for like a week! Since they only took out one wisdom tooth, I get to go back for removal of another. Hopefully I get antibiotics a little faster this time. I got a high tolerance to pain. Maybe from all the spanking I got as a kid and all the pepper spray here. :) But I don’t want to get an infection in this place that is for sure. We shall see how it goes.

Onto other issues. Some people get into relationships with people here or in prison. If you are real about the relationship, then you actually are putting yourself in prison with that person. I mean if you’re being faithful and all that. It isn’t something to take lightly. Plus in a relationship of any kind, both people bring all their past with them. The pain, fears, scars, it all comes to the table. This at times makes it tougher on the couple to make it. Then add in all the haters that want to try to destroy the relationship. The good thing about rocky starts is it helps to lay a solid foundation. The adversity can help make the relationship stronger as you get a better feel of each other and have a better feel of each others limits. Most people during a rocky situation they just give up and walk away. There is no substance within them selves. They lack the strength to overcome. They fear adversity. These are generally the sheep in the world. Everyone has to have their limits, but at first sign of trouble you don’t just run off. In my own relationship with Vera, there has been allot of ups and downs. We are both hard headed and have complex situations that define our life. There have been people that don’t like me or her and they try to cause division between us. Though as my mother can tell all. I don’t listen very well and I will do what I'm going to do! My mom used to spank me and say "Clint do not leave the yard!" As soon as she opened the door and turned around I was gone! :) haha. Anyways. Life is short. I want to see all and do all.

I know I am a difficult person to deal with. Life aint been easy for me so all that comes to the table when I get close to people. I will say this, that no matter what ever happens Vera has done allot for me and done her best to try to help me no matter the odds. She has sacrificed countless ways to help me. Something I will forever be thankful for. Just as I am for all others that have helped me. Even ones I am not in contact with anymore. Now to MySpace messages. Jo of U.K. long time no word! I am waiting on your letter. Glad that you made contact again. Rusty I haven’t been able to get your letter to you. I am low on stamps. As soon as I can get commissary I will get stamps! Helia thanks for the messages! Words are better than pictures, so don’t worry! :) Simone!! Yes you the one from Austria, did you get my letter? I wrote you but haven’t heard from you. I see from the message your still alive write when you can. To Jaxons mommy. I see you can write but can you actually mail that letter? RaK, thanks for the words. Well I got to wrap this long winded mo/fo down. I am going to try once again to write once a week. Now that I am level one, I will be able to, as I need something to focus my stress on. to all thanks for your attention. I leave as I came. Solid and united.

Loud & Clear, January 26 2009

Greetings to all.

I know there's been a delay in the planting of my words. I just have had a lot going in my personal life. As well as the stress caused from my forced living arrangements. I have had a lot on my mind none the less. On January 30, 09 the state responds to my federal appeal. I am eager and nervous to see what is filed. No matter what is filed the state is still actively pursuing the end of my life. One would think that their ethic code would require them to correct a miscarriage of justice. Instead they will make excuses and try to use “technical legal jargon” to justify killing me. I guess their impotence in life requires them to feel a need to defeat my lawyers and I. My life is worthless to them. Only success matters. Is one life worth more than another? To say one life is worth more than another is utilitarian logic in full form and the basis of most fascist ideologies. To even suggest that a victims life is worth more than a murderers, and then you yourself go and kill that murderer. Does it not then make your own life less worthy than the murderer you murdered? If you are able to judge the worth of a human life, you are then superior to that life. So what allows one person to be superior to the next? If it is applied to the system, does a vote make that prosecutor superior to the criminal? Prosecutors and judges at a state level are voted into office. The majority of votes declares the winner. So the majority decide the worth of a life? What if that majority is kept ignorant due to a pathetic education system? If so then it is safe to say that the voters can't make an intelligent choice. They are ignorant to the facts. The 'poor' criminal’s weak voice, a media focused on who Paris Hilton is having sex with, and ridiculous education programs are to blame. Though the prosecutors are aware. The lawyers are aware. As are the judges. So what is their excuse? They all are supposed to be fighting for the law and order of this country in accordance to the constitution. A country designed on the rule of law, not the law of rule. In 2009 is it socially acceptable for a lawyer to allow his investigator to run around as she please, fabrication reports, smoking crack cocaine with a witness, trying to have sex with a witness, manipulating witnesses and deceiving the courts all while funded by the tax payers? Midland County District attorney thinks it is as they refused to press charges on the investigator in my appeal. Her name is Lisa Milstein. She is enjoying her life in Florida, while I try to convince the courts not to kill me because of a procedural default due to her and a previous lawyer, not properly raising my claims in my state appeal. Had they done their job, there is a very big chance I would already be back in court for a new trial. She has a MySpace page, everyone can look at it and see how she is enjoying her life. She didn't only royally screw up my case, she as well done it to four or five others. Those are the ones still alive. A couple have been executed where she worked on their case. Evidence has been found where she messed over them as well. Her MySpace promotes her a personal fitness trainer. No where does it mention her death penalty work. Theft conviction, and career as a stripper, or her rehab stays. She refuses to help my lawyers. The prosecutors do not want to prosecute her as doing so will strengthen my appeal. So they allow a crime to go unpunished for the sake of political gain. That gain being from my death. The attorney general of Texas as well allows her to get away with it. So it isn't just the local prosecutor. It is a collaboration of judicial officials. Including Midland County Judge John G. Hyde. This judge sent letters to the members of my jury after convicting me, telling them I am dangerous and deserve to die. He then acted as if he is not biased, by reviewing and rejecting 2 of my appeals! These people all feel their life is superior to mine. I understand they got a job to do. Though that doesn't mean to cover up injustice. If they see a wrong they should correct it. Even more so because of the fact that I have evidence that shows I am innocent of capital murder. Strengthened by the fact that, the police didn't investigate 2 crime scenes. Its 2009, God Bless America. Anyways onto other matters. I am slated to make level one in a few days. I have been on level 3&2 since May 15, 08. I have lost forty pounds. So I am ready to eat some commissary!

I want to thank Regina for typing up this long winded ass article. Ha! Ha! I as well want to thank Vera for her dedication to both myself and my cause. She spends countless hours and dollars in trying to help save my life. A beautiful and headstrong woman. I am forever grateful. I thank and love you for your commitment to me and my struggle. Leigh of New Zealand. I just found your letter! It got mixed up in my paperwork during a cell search or when I moved to a different cell. You have a letter coming.

To those that write me with a post office box, if you give me a fake name, when I write they will return the letter. If you are worried about me knowing your name then don't write me. I am locked in a cage in a building that is surrounded by 50,000 volt electric wire fence, and very bright stadium lights. This building is part of a complex that is encased by 2 additional separate fences that are covered in razor wire. All under the watchful eye of guard towers armed with A.R. 15 assault rifles. They point, ain't no one leaving they don't want to leave! So there is no point in not giving a proper name. Plus if a person did get out why in the hell would they go to your house, when they got family and personal friends from the free they would go to? So if you are scared to put your name, then don't even write. I am a human being, not a hobby. I guess that about does it for this issue.

I will try to write again soon. I thank you for your time in reading this. Take Care.
I leave as I came.

Loud & Clear, November 11 2008

Greetings!

It has been a long time since I wrote an article. Over a year! So much has happened. I had a few more use of forces. I will go into that first. They got a new toy. A paint ball gun that shoots powder filled balls instead of paint. The first time I refused to come off the outside recreation yard. (Actually a room with bars for a roof to allow sunlight in, we are not really outside.) They shot me several times, hitting me once or twice, then a crowd control smoke grenade was thrown at me. It fills the entire rec. area with smoke to the point I could not even see the other people that was watching through the observation glass. A funny note: The major, that is the rank of an official here, well his gas mask did not work correctly so he started to choke and beat on the door to get out of the recreation area. So the warden got the paint ball gun , came in and shot at me. A barred gate style door separated us. So they shot through the hand cuff slot. The warden shot me maybe three more times and then the five man extraction team with the riot shield came. When they opened the gate to rush me, I ran to one side and charged after the team. I attempted to kick the shield out of the way. I kicked too low and late! My kicking the shield too low caused the top of it to tilt down and hit me right across the eye and nose! It looked like a murder scene, there was so much blood. I went to the infirmary and got seven stitches on my nose. Two weeks later I done it all over again! Only this time no stitches! The video of the use of force that resulted in the stitches is available by emailing Vera at info@saveaninnocentlife.com. It is being added to others, so it is not exactly ready yet. But you can email Vera and she will help you with the information. To those who have expressed a desire for a copy so far, please be a little more patient. There was some minor problems that have since been worked out.

Also another matter I want to address. People posted stuff about having wrote me and I did not respond. How do you know I even got your letter?! If someone writes to me and is serious about doing so, then I will write you back. Some people write me and tell me all of what they aren't going to do and all this stuff. I will not respond to a letter like that, as it means you already got some formed thought of me. I don't like being placed in a stereotype. Just because I am forced into this situation by a backwards corrupted ass legal system, doesn't mean I have to expect people to place me in some kind of stereotype!Cool is the rule!

Onto other matters. I recently as well, got to read the stuff some people posted on my petition. It seems there are a lot of idiots in this world. Some girl was acting like she knew me. She stated I shot some Mexican in a Hastings parking lot. (Hastings is a book store) I never been in or at a Hastings! Hell if I would have been there I might not have been doing meth and hanging around the idiots I was! Better then that, I never shot no Mexican. So little girl you got me mixed up with someone else. Another lady wrote that after reading everything and going over my case, she fell out of her chair laughing that I could make such a claim. I hope you got insurance and didn't hurt yourself as your only laughing at your own stupidity! See, I couldn't get my past lawyers to help me. They simply had no desire to. So they only hurt me! But that has changed a little. So now I have been able to get forensics on both murders I was convicted of. Guess what? It showed I could "not" have done both murders. Also, I now got statements that the prosecutors had my co-defendants lie on the stand and was making all kinds of back room deals with them. This didn't only come from a co-defendant, but also the lawyer of a co-defendant. One of the three co-defendants that testified against me was never arrested. While free he was picked up for possession of marijuana, traffic violations, and aggravated sexual assault on a child. Guess what? All them cases magically disappeared when he testified against me. Jury members have signed statements, stating that they basically would not have convicted me had they known all this. The judge in my case signed an order for the prosecutors to reveal any and all deals they was offering or negotiations. The prosecutor’s just plainly ignored the court order! What will happen to them? Nothing! In Texas prosecutors are granted immunity. So they can just get away with sending innocent people to death row!

A lot of change has come about recently with the election of America's first black president. So maybe Texas will soon catch up with the rest of the world in properly understanding what it means to have liberty, equality, and most importantly, justice.The revenge policy of the death penalty is an outdated and greatly flawed policy. I will be writing articles again, though most will not be this long winded! We have been on lock down status for a month now. So we have been getting a peanut butter sandwich for every meal with some other kind of sandwich. They ran out of regular bread so now they are putting peanut butter on hot dog buns and biscuits to feed us. For breakfast we get the hot dog bun with peanut butter and a biscuit with one egg! Damn I am hungry! We are on lock down due to them finding of cell phones. They even cancelled visits. Hopefully that will pick back up soon. Really we all been quiet and just passively keep us without visits. Hopefully that will change as well. I am going to go ahead and wrap this one up.

Until next time. Vini, Vidi, Vici
