Tony
Apanovitch has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit.

even though the hair, blood and saliva samples he voluntarily provided,
excluded him as a suspect. The state's case at trial was built solely
on circumstantial evidence. Visit his page for more case info, his
penpal request - and legal information. M*A*S*H's Mike Farrell narrated
a videotape on the case. Contact Anthony's attorney by email from
his page.
Keith Henness - Death Row, Ohio
"As you can guess from the
death row sentence, I was accused and found guilty of murder. The sad part
is that I was convicted soley on the word of the actual killer -- no evidence,
no I.D., nothing, except for her saying that she "knew" that I had to do
it. " Visit Keith's webpage for more info on the case,
links to his 'Official' Homepage,
photo's and how you can contact him through his supporters.

Donald Duke Palmer - Death Row, Ohio
Donald Duke Palmer has
been on death row for 14 years. He was born in 1965. His page
includes his writing, personal information, a penpal request, and a request
for an investigator willing to do a simple job to assist Mr Palmer in his
appeals. He writes " It'd be easy to be what people think I am; the
worst Ohio has to offer, scum of the earth, unfit to live, murderer, etc
etc. I could be bitter. I could hate the majority of society. But, I am not
anything I've ever done, anything people say I am, anything I've been taught,
anything I've been judged and convicted of being! I am who I choose to be!....
Only I know the thoughts in my mind, and I know I'm not anything people say
I am. I am only who I think I am, and I have the power to be whoever I want
to be, simply by putting the thoughts in my mind, and by the actions those
thoughts create."
