Hi to all,

As this year come to an end and we all are going into a new year, I decided to write to wish everyone a happy 2008 and I hope and pray that new year will be a happy and brighter year for us all.

When a website was put up by Nadine on my space our hopes was that we could generate some support to help me find a lawyer or raise the finances to where I can hire a lawyer.

But sadly to say no one have even asked how could they help Nadine and I. And it is very difficult for Nadine as well as myself to ask for help. But the truth is I am setting here on Texas death row and if I do not get help, the Sate of Texas will eventually kill me and this is the reality I live with every day.

Right now there is a temporary moratorium on executions in the U.S. But it’s temporary. The prosecutor are still working on my case, the Court appointed lawyer that is on my case, isn’t doing anything to try to save my life.

I appreciate all of you who have reached out to Nadine and have showed her encouragement but, and God knows, I hate to say this like this – but what about me?

I know that sound selfish or self-centered but that is not the case here. I need help, Nadine is the first someone who have truly reached out to me, she knows my case better than I do, now. But what’s sad is like me, she doesn’t know the American laws, she doesn’t have the money to hire a lawyer and believe me lawyers are very expensive it should be against the law as to know much they charge. That’s why there are so many people in prison cause they could not afford to hire a lawyer.

I have been setting here for 16 and half years for a robbery – murder I not only did not do, I did not know anything about it. There is no evidences to link me to this crime. My alibi witnesses are not dead and they are not hiding from the law, but for 16 years no one can find them: well that is what the Court appointed lawyer tells me. I don’t believe this, but it’s nothing I can do about it.

I know you are wondering why aren’t my family helping me. I don’t have family, I was put in an orphanage home at age ten, that’s another story. But I don’t have family other than Nadine and a couple of friends, but that’s all.

The lawyer that’s on my case, the beginning of 2007, an article came out in the newspaper saying he is one of the six worst death penalty lawyer in the State of Texas. Ask Nadine, she read it too.

I don’t mean to come across as if I’m begging, nut I need help it might be too late already. I hope not, I pray not, but I need a good lawyer and they cost money, so with all sincerity, if you can help financially, please send what ever you can to Nadine. I trust her with all my heart and soul and honestly she’s trying to fight for my life as if its her very own. So please help us with this fight. If you are a lawyer help us please. Time is running out on me here.

I feel bad about asking this but if I don’t ask no one will help. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a beautiful day and again happy new year to all. Godless.

Respectfully with love.
