Hi !  I am Leroy White; but you can also call me "Sham" short of my nickname
"Shamrock".  I am single, 41 years of age, 5 feet  9 inches tall, and weigh 155
pounds.    I am on death row for the murder of my estranged wife that I feel very
remorseful for having so done.   I suspected her of having an affair due to her
dishonesty that led to a very violent altercation; and six weeks later I lost my
temper during a heated argument with my wife's sister.   Often times I try to
understand how could I have allowed myself to do such horror; and the only
conclusion I can come to is the hurt and feeling of betrayal I was feeling, topped
off with jealousy, alcohol, and the bursting into rage during the argument.
To get angry at someone and withdraw affection for a while and calm down
later and give it back is one thing.  But to get angry at someone and take their
life is the worst act;  because no matter how much you regret having taken their
life, you can never give it back once you have taken it.   And being incapable of
giving back the life that I so foolishly took is, by far, the hardest thing I have ever
had to endure mentally.  Now the state of Alabama wishes to take my life,
despite that doing so will not replace Ruby's life, it will only make the state a
murderer like me.  I would be the first man ever to be put to death in Alabama,
and perhaps nationwide, for forcefully entering the marital residence just to talk
and express my logic behind the break up of the marriage.  Incidentally the
murder did occur, later, and on the outside of the residence, which I have never
denied.  Yet, the state relied heavily on fabricated and coerced testimony from
only one of several witnesses, that boldly lied in saying she heard me threaten
to kill my wife.  I never threatened or plotted to kill anyone; and that is a true
statement !  What I did was awfully stupid and hideous that happened in the
heat of passion when I was hot tempered, heavily intoxicated, and irrational.
Life on death row has been totally secluded from the outside world, including
much of family and old-time friends.  I would like to make new friends.  I would
like to make new friends with you who are interested in writing.  Actually, I'm in
search of a soulmate… girlfriend type… someone who is charming,
understanding, and fun, with time to share.  Must also enjoy writing, since it is
my most convenient way of communication.    My interests are reading when I
can, writing, geography,  politics, history, science, the outdoors, sports,
motorcycles, music, the mysteries of God, women of course, and a whole lot
more.  I am an open minded, talkative, caring, honest, and down-to-Earth type
of guy.  I consider myself funny, who also enjoys lots of humor and laughter.
I would also like for anyone interested in helping with my case to write-In terms
of giving advice, legal assistance, or whatever helpful resources you might
have to offer.   A daughter, now 12 years of age also came from our marriage.
She is a special little girl whom I truly adore.  She recently told that the best
thing for a 12 year old girl like her would be for me to get out of prison.  But
getting out of prison is far beyond my expectations, and barely escaping the
electric chair to spend the rest of my life in prison would at least spare her one
parent and an opportunity to visit me here in prison.  Thanks for reading my ad,
