CONTINUING
THE STRUGGLE
Today is just another ordinary day for most people in this world. But for some of us the "Struggle for Life" continues, especially here in this "Man Made Hell" known simply as 'Texas Death Row.' I realize you people on the outside can not see the horror and atrocities occurring day in and day out from within these Dungeon Walls of "Death Row," so here I attempt a small part of news to you, so you could try getting a glimpse of what life is like in this Concentration camp I'm being "forced" to live in! Concentration camp!??? That's right people. Concentration camp! The conditions of this life is inexplicable beyond description. Since I've been held captive here, I have experienced things I NEVER imagine would ever be a part of my life. I have always heard the stories of people going insane, but I have never expect to actually see a person lose his mind. That was until I arrived here in this Atrocious place! I knew three men who I sometimes spoke to who's mental capacity slowly deteriorated here in this "cruel" House of Hell! I am no longer able to hold conversations with either of these men, because they've "escaped" into a world of their own design and creation, where they feel safe from the realities of this "HELL!" Of course, this is only one way for a person to escape" this cruel life, and the harsh conditions here on 'Texas Death Row.' Another comrade of mine "escaped" the cruelty of this life by Hanging himself inside his "cage" where he hung for more than 5 hours before they realized what he had done. Now he no longer needs to worry about the "Executioner," because he succeeded with his escape, and now lives in a world not yet know to man! Then, of course, there is "Martin Gurule" who decided he not only wanted his life back, but he also wanted his Freedom back, so he did escaped this "Man Made hell" by climbing on top, and jumping over two "razor-sharp" topped fences. He succeeded in obtaining his Freedom, but less than four miles away he drowned. At least he was determined to die a "FREE MAN!" Like every man here, I also have experienced each and every one of these emotions and thoughts. There are times when I feel the harsh pressures of this life, and feel as if I'm losing all rational thoughts of "Survival" and the strength to continue with my STRUGGLE for Life, Justice, and My Freedom! This here is no life for any existing Human Being on this Planet. Don't just think of "Don't be Cruel to Animals." Think also of "Don't be Cruel to Your fellow Human Beings!" We need to Abolish the Cruelty of Capital Punishment! It is inhumane to cage up a Human Being and treat him/her like an animal!!! We are all supposed to he from the same Species! '
My Struggle continues for Justice and for what is supposed to he right even though I am "forced" to live under these conditions, and sometimes the "Harsh" pressures that often make me wonder if this Night Mare will ever end:.. I continue to "Struggle" forward because if I give up my Struggle, then this means I simply would give up on my own life, and this is something I could "NEVER" do because "I Struggled into this world, and I will continue to Struggle until I leave this world!"
As you can see from reading my Synopsis to my case, I am trying to get a "Good Attorney" to take over on my appeals, because I feel the "Court Appointed Attorney" that is presently working on my case is not doing everything in his power to help prove my innocence, and help me obtain a New trial. I want you to know that "Robert White" was recently EXECUTED on the 30th of March of '99. I know you probably don't know who he was so allow me to tell you. He was one of my Court Appointed Attorney's client's here on Death Row. The attorney's name is "Lawrence Brown"; simply known as "Larry" to his Death Row Clients. This that I share with you is extremely disturbing to ME because it makes me wonder if he will do the same to me when I am "forced" to face my last days here in this "Man Made Hell," if I don't get and "REAL HELP" soon! Being that Robert White was in the same condition I am in (Fighting for his Life!) I feel he had The Right to have Larry there to comfort him during his last days here on this earth. I can't decide which is the most "shocking" part. That Larry never notified Robert of his impending Execution Date, or that Larry did not even bother to come down to the Prison to spend a few hours of his time to comfort his client who was scheduled to be executed?! It is this type of behavior that makes me not only "FEEL" but also "REALIZE" that I am truly fighting for my life on my own, without the professional help of a Court Appointed Attorney. This is a "Night Mare" that not even Robert White should have faced alone. IT'S INHUMANE!!! Most of all it's Frightening Beyond Description! There is nothing that I can tell you that would clearly describe how I feel about "Lawrence Brown" representing me on my appeal. All I know is Larry doesn't work for me. He works for the State of Texas! This man is helping the State "MIURDER" me!
For those of you reading this, "PLEASE" send in your donations to help me get a "Good Attorney" to fight for my Life, and Fight to have the DNA TEST done in my case to help prove my innocence before it is too late. The Clock is winding down and I am almost at the end of my appeals, so I don't have much time left. Please, Help in any way you can. "Thank You!"
Sincerely
"In Struggle!"
