Hello there,
My name is Gerald Wayne Tigner and I'm
a death row prisoner on the Polunsky Unit in Livingston, Texas. I've
been on death row struggling for 6 years trying to keep the hope alive in
my heart while I fight the American Justice System, after my first trial
being wrongfully convicted of this crime.
Upon my arrival on death row, just a
year and a half later, my precious mom
passed away. Then six months after
my mom, the woman who raise me when
I was a little baby, my beautiful grandmother
passed away and ever since then
my heart has been broken and the pain
and misery just won't go away.
These two family members was my only
support I had in my corner but now they are gone. I feel lost at times
sitting in this death row cell but I know in my
mind I must stay stronmg and keep fighting
for my freedom. I am lonely and
I need some friends that would be interested
in writing me so I can share
my life and case with them on an openminded,
truthful, down to earth level.
My date of birth is 12/27/72 and right
now I'm 26 years old, 6'2" tall and
202 lbs., slim built with light brown
eyes and black hair. Also, I'm a
light skin male African American and
my home town is Waco, Texas.
My hobbies are reading, basketball, football,
etc. I've been tried twice and
wrongfully convicted both times on the
same inadmissable evidence in Waco
trial court.
WHERE IS THE JUSTICE ! ?
Now, I'm on death row wrongfully accused
of killing two black male drug
dealers in Waco, Texas. I did not
kill these two drug dealers for the
simple fact I was at my grandmother's
house most of the day and during
the time these two drug dealers got killed.
My defense at trial was
mistaken identity and alibi. My
grandmother testified in my favor that
I was with her, at her residence, during
the time of the killings. In
addition, my grandmother's neighbor Gloria
testified in my favor that at
the time of the killings, she too was
at my grandmother's residence where
she was introduced to me. And a
man at the crime scene testified also in
my favor that he saw another man, "not
Gerald Wayne Tigner", do the
shooting.
The Waco District Attorneys use this
unbelievable, inadmissable statement
to confuse the jury in my first trial
and in my second trial. That's how
I got convicted twice. The erroneous
admission of the statement at trial
was damaging because the Waco District
Attorney prosecutors case against
Gerald Wayne Tigner was not otherwise
overwhelming and on top of that this
erroneously admitted statement was in
violation of Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure, Article 38.22 in the lawbook.
"I'M TOTALLY INNOCENT OF THIS CHARGE!"
Even though I'm forced to face all
this physiological torture mentally and
physically on death row, I'm determined
to stay strong and keep my head up.
And I thank the good Lord above for making
me this way. It's sad when a
poor young man out of the ghetto has
to go to trial with a court appointed
lawyer knowing he's not going to do his
best job on a Capital Murder Case.
That's why I am reaching out to the world
expressing my true feelings, my
thoughts and this Capital Case they wrongfully
accuse me of in Waco. All
I can do is hope and pray your interested
in being my pen-pal friend. So
please do not hesitate to write me.
Here is my address below.
Yours Truly,
MR GERALD W TIGNER #999099
Polunsky Unit
12002 FM 350 South
