Released From Florida's Death Row
Juan Melendez is a death
row prisoner in Florida. He says that he is an innocent man, and his
page includes detailed information about his case. The two police
informants who
were original suspects in the case have both since been found dead,
shot
in two separate incidents. Police who worked on the case were
discharged
and discredited, as well as other shocking revelations about the
complexity
of his case.
"Since the courts
aren't listening to my cries for justice, I come to you and hope that
you
are able
to assist me by spreading
this miscarriage of justice to any news media programs, such as 60
Minutes, 20/20, Dateline,
or etc., etc. This case needs to be publicized, so people in this
nation can see how an innocent man can be executed or spend the rest of
his life in prison for a crime he did not commit." - Visit the
CCADP's original page for Juan, with new links to news articles about
his release.
