Robert Lookingbill is 31 years old and has been on death row for about seven years now. He says he's innocent,and even though a lot of people try to convince me otherwise , I believe him. Robert is a kind person and I don't think he is capable of comitting the crime he has been accused of, and now they're planning to execute him March 9!
I don't have all the details on his case but I can give you a general picture of it.
Robert was accused of killing his grandmother over some money. First of all, Robert loved his grandmother very much. Second, the money he was supposedly trying to steal was his own money, and he had the paperwork to prove that but somehow this wasn't allowed as proof.
His version of the story is that he
came home from work and found his grandmother heavily beaten up by someone.He called
an ambulance and went to seek help next door, and someone he had never
seen before answered the door. Next, he went outside to see if the ambulance
was coming already so he
could tell the paramedics where to go. After a while the police came and
they took Robert to the police station
to answer some questions.Instead, they questioned him for six hours on end and then
they probably decided he was guilty.
Now he only has 5 more days to live, that is, if the authorities have their way. *
( * He received a stay of execution and a new date has been set for January 22, 2003. )
If there is anyone who can help to stop this, please contact him, his address is

They want to think they're getting rid of a murderer, but they're actually killing one of my very best (and innocent) friends.
