FREDDIE LEE WRIGHT     " Atonement For The Innocent ? " Alabama murders an innocent man March 3, 2000 !

I am a Alabama death row inmate that has nearly run the complete appellate gauntlet and am in dire need of any and all intervention.

I have no doubt that because of recently publicized events in regards to death row inmates being found innocent of the crimes they have spent many years on death row for, the internet has been consumed by request such as my own.  Any attempt on my part to distinguish my case, from the many others innocent death row inmates now being housed throughout the United States would be futile.  I can only stress, that because my case/appeals have reached the 11th Circuit Court of appeals and the overwhelming demands for your type of assistance, my options have run out.

Below I have briefly summarize the facts relating to my innocence each and everyone can be verified in their totality...
(1).  I was convicted of murder and robbery at a local Western Auto Store, two individuals were killed.  Stock was removed from the store by the assailants.  Several of the stolen items were eventually recovered.  Another person Theodore Robinson was subsequently arrested and charged with these crimes.

(2).  Ms. Charlene Tilton, at the time of the crime was the girlfriend of Mr. Robinson.  Ms. Tilton gave a statement to Det. Stroh, which lead to Robinson's arrest, a weapon was discovered subsequent test of projectiles removed from the victims and test fired from the weapon by the Alabama Department of Forensic Science resulted in a "match".

(3).  Ms. Mary Johnson, a patron of the local Western Auto Store was leaving the store as a man later identified as Mr. Robinson was entering.  Ms. Johnson notices four (4), men in an automobile later identified as being owned by Robinson at the front entrance, a short period of time before the discovery of the victims.

(a).  Ms. Johnson, was summoned to testify at Mr. Robinson's preliminary hearing where she confirmed under oath the above.

(b).  Ms. Johnson has never testified to the above facts at any stage of my trials or hearing to this date.

(4).  An individual whose name is unknown to myself, but was identified by the investigating officers as being in possession of items removed from the crime scene, identified Robinson as the person from whom he received the stolen goods.  Inquiry into the investigative file will result in the accurate name of this individual.

(5).  Roger McQueen and Percey Craig, initially implicated me as the shooter in this crime.  Prior to trial both attempted to recanttheir statements.  Their attempts were met with the threat of prosecution of this capital offense, which led them to again implicate me as an member of the ones who robbed the store.

(6).  A third accomplice Mr. Regintal Tinsley, initially implicated me in this crime, but prior to trial on his own volition requested to give a statement to my trial counsel exonerating me of any involvement in this crime, before the prosecution had the chance to convince him otherwise.

(7).  Additionally Mr. McQueen, stated under oath that we first met in the month of February 1978, some three (3) months after the crime occurred, making our participation in this crime together impossible.

(8).  Ms. Doris Lambert, a former girlfriend of mine testified that during a June 1977 confession to her Catholic Priest stating that I confessed my involvement in this crime.  The murder/robbery occurred six (6), months after her confession making her statement an obvious lie.

(9).  The trial court judge issued an order for the exclusion of any and all testimony relating to Mr. Otis Theodore Robinson and his involvement in this crime.  Which hindered my defense and the presentation of exculpatory evidence.

All of the above was requested vis motion of discovery by the defense counsel, but the prosecution and/or person having control and custody of these facts, either by act or lack of action failed to disclose the information which has lead to the technical exclusion otherwise known as procedural barring of evidence of my "actual innocence".

I am in desperately need of any and all help, if there is any additional information needed please do not hesitate to contact me. It's clear if I don't get help I am going' to lose my life, I await your response...

Sincerely,
 

Freddie Lee Wright, #z-389

"Its so much I want to express to the world but with the limited contact most of us have its not many that will know what the last 20 years of my life on death row has been like.  But now through you I will  be able to touch the minds of a few more and the world will in some way know I am human and I am full of love and compassion for others and their causes just as so many like you are for the ones of us that must live out the rest of our lives under these dark circumstances."

Freddie's PENPAL REQUEST  ! My name is Freddie Lee Wright, #Z-389, I am African-American, presently incarcerated on Alabama death row, since July 5, 1979. At the present time my future is looking pretty bleak, but I am still very much hopeful that things will change and my life won't end here by my being put to death. I am now down to my last two rounds of appeals.  I hope my present situation won't keep any one from writing.  I really need some one I can relate to doing whatever time I have left.   I am 47 years old, born April 29, 1951,  dark brown complexion, weight 229.  Home town Mobile, Alabama.  I am open-minded, with a good sense of humor, I am also sincere.    My life may be ending but I still have a lot to offer through friendship in the way of touching others heart and minds, to enlighten them about myself and my many walks in life.    I am interested in hearing from any one who is sincere, open-minded and down to earth.  Age, sex, race or religion doesn't matter.                Freddie Lee Wright, #z-389                 Holman #3700  Rm. 8-U-7               Atmore, Alabama 36503-3700

"At the moment I am just holding my own and many of the ones that are in my corner that have did so much on my behalf.  I learned yesterday that the United States Supreme Court upheld my death sentence, so my appeals are now final, I thought it would be six to eight months before the court made its ruling, the court  ruled on my case in less than four weeks after receiving my final reply to the state's brief.  Its not a lot I can do at this point but I haven't given up.  I am going back to the US Supreme Court, and most likely back to the Eleventh Circuit.  I don't think any of this is going to do me any good but I'm not going to leave any stones unturned and it may delay things and uy me a little more time.  My case will now be sent back  to the Alabama Supreme Court, and at this point the court may set me an execution date in the next 45 to 60 days its up to the state when the state ask the court to set a date.  Would you put an alert on my webpage what is now going on with my case and the little time I have left ? Its about time for me to go back to my cell, I think I will go back and get a few hours of sleep since I was up most of the night trying to think and clear my head so I could write some of the many letters that I have to write.  I have a lot of cell cleaning to do so when I get back to my cell I will start going through my things only keeping what I really need, throwing out the things that only have meaning to me, and giving the rest to the other guys that I am going to leave my things with, I know this is something I can put off for a little while longer but I have always been one of those persons that never wait until the last minute before putting things in order.  I am going to close now my friends and I will keep you updated with how things are going with my case and myself.  Until our next greeting you are in my prayers and thoughts.  Love, and friendship always, Freddie.

    "Its so much I want to express to the world but with the limited contact
most of us have its not many that will know what the last 20 years of my
life on death row has been like.  But now through you I will  be able to
touch the minds of a few more and the world will in some way know I am
human and I am full of love and compassion for others and their causes
just as so many like you are for the ones of us that must live out the rest of
our lives under these dark circumstances."  - Freddie Lee Wright, March 4, 1999.
