Lonnie Wayne Pursley
Texas Death Row 
Lonnie Pursley, 43, thanked the family of victim Robert Earl Cook for a poem
of forgiveness they sent him shortly before he received a lethal injection.
"I received your poem and I am very grateful for your forgiveness. I still want to ask for it anyway,"
he said to witnesses while strapped to a gurney in the Texas death chamber.
"I have Jesus in my heart and I am sorry for any pain I caused you."
The poem by Cook's nephew, Jamie Hollis, read in part,
"A soul that is lost, pays no greater cost, than to leave this world, without being forgiven."
"No, not by my family or me, for we forgive," it said. "

What Happened ?
On April 20, 1997 after hearing that was
a Capital Murder warrant for my arrest,
I turned myself in to clear my name.
I was held for nineteen months on the word of an ex felon and lifelong drug
abuser. Meanwhile, The Polk County Sherriff's Department, along with
the District Attorney's office, FABRICATED this case against me. The
record will show that most of the witnesses' testimonty against me was perjured.
It will also show that most of the evidence used against me was fabricated,
botched, tainted, and yes, even planted ! Evidence! There was
also evidence which was overlooked that may have exonerated me from the
crime. I am indigent and depending upon Court Appointed attorneys
who have been very ineffective.
I could use any help
available.

LONNIE'S PENPAL REQUEST :
Penpals : Hello! My name is
Lonnie. I am currently on Texas' infamous
Death Row. I was arrested on April

authorities after finding that there
was a warrant for arrest on the charge of Capital Murder. Family
members are no longer supporting me, nor are they keeping in contact with
me. I would like to find someone to correspond with. Please
be patient with me, as I am not financially stable. There are
things in here that are very much needed to get by, such as : hygiene items,
writing supplies, and stamps. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
I was born in Houston, Texas on September 17, 1961. I was raised
in a small East Texas town called Coldsprings. I'm 5'9" tall, 230
pounds, with blue eyes and dusty blone hair. My interet are rodeo -
both watching and participating when I had the chance to, playing handball
and lifting weights. I also like to do art work. RACE, SEX, AGE
