Those who fight against the death penalty do not need to know if someone is innocent or guilty; in any case the death penalty is an unjustifiable cruelty, a state's revenge that doesn't bring back to life those who died, and adds only sorrow and hate.

I have been keeping up a regular correspondence with Eugene Broxton for a lot of time, and I dare say that Eugene is one of my best friends. He is strong, unselfish, sensitive and very attentive to all his pen-pal-friends. However, even those who agree with the death penalty, would have to admit that life in a little cell, waiting for death, is a terrible and inhumane experience.

Even though Eugene has never lost his faith, he kept fighting to prove his innocence. Now, thanks to an investigation by John Cornyn, the General Attorney of Texas, who carried out research into more than 100 cases involving a psychologist named Walter Quijano, it was found that in at least 8 trials, including Eugene's, were undermined by the racial prejudices of the witness.
