This photo was made on
15 September 2000 here at the Charles T. Terrell / Death Row Unit.
I am a 25 year old Boer
- German - Cherokee descendant who has lived all of his life in Texas.
I stand 6'5", 210 lbs.,
and have blue - gray - green eyes that change colors with my mood.
Spiritual things are most
important to me. I've studied many different religions, trying to
find
truth, but I only
feel more confused. My parents raised me in Christianity, which
is what I
often revert to; its
familiar and comfortable. I still don't know the truth, do any of
us ?
We can only believe one
thing or another; none of it is known to be true. Each teaches us
to believe, and that
must be the key to religion; belief in something beyond our body and the
environment that surrounds
us with its familiarity and solidness.
I've been on death row since 13 February 1995 for accidentally shooting a man on 14 June 1993. Initially, I was so guilt ridden that I didn't wish to appeal this sentence of death, thinking it was just punishment for my crime.
However, I was later convinced
to fight by a determined attorney, Mandy Welch.
She believed in my cause,
my innocence of capital murder, and has been fighting to win
back my life since her
appointment to represent me.

Growing up in a small
town known as Cason, which is nestled in "The Piney Woods" of
northeastern Texas, I
enjoyed anything dealing with the out - of - doors; fishing hunting,
canoeing, camping, swimming
(though I'm a terrible swimmer who is often afraid of the
water), and simply observing
nature all around me.
Since I've been on death
row I've tried to better myself and explore the parameters of my
newfound writing talents.
I am endeavouring to learn german, which is very difficult in this
environment. Prior
to this plunge into foreign languages, I studied the law religiously, hoping
to make myself useful
to those less fortunate, that is, those condemned men whose lawyers
were incompetent and
refused to give their best efforts to save their clients' lives.
I'm no F. Lee Bailey
or Johnny Cochrane, but I do my best. I still do some work
when
someone needs my meager
abilities. Seeing my research benefit someone is extremely
rewarding.
My interests are :
cars (rebuilding and maintaining domestic cars or trucks), electronics
(repairing and modifying),
anything outdoors, reading fine literature, astronomy, medical
science, dreams and what
they might mean (if anything), the unusual or mysterious (UFO's,
paranormal, telepathy,
etc,) and many other things that we can explore when you decide to
write.
I am seeking friendships
that will last, and, if at all possible, financial assistance to aid my
attorney in continuing
her fight to save my life. A man shouldn't have to die for an accident.
Just 1$ from you could
make all the difference in whether I live or die. If you are able
to
contribute to my legal
defense fund, please send your contribution to :

Ich spreche Deutsche aber nicht sehr gut. So, wenn Sie mir auf Deutsch schreiben, werde ich ebenfalls antworten. Konnen Sie mir mit Geld bitte helfen ? Einzig ein Dollar ? Bitte !
