Maybe Convicted Officer Isn't Guilty Could there actually be another innocent man on Florida's Death Row? Florida leads the nation releasing death row inmates who proved to be innocent. At this point some 24 inmates sentenced to die by the State were cleared and set free. I say by the evidence I can show I am innocent! I was a cop for the city of Mascotte, Florida, had only been on the job for 6 months when I took a missing person report. From that point on my nightmare started... Who would think a cop doing his job could end up on Death Row... From May 12, 1987 the Lake County Sheriff started building a case... Finally, on October 27, 1987 I was charged and arrested for murder. Went to trial in April 1988 and was found guilty on circumstantial evidence May 10, 1988. On June 30, 1988 I was sentenced to death for a murder I had nothing to do with... Looking forward to hearing from anyone interested in a friendship. Please write... A book has been written on my case, if anyone would like a copy the following order form can be used... Thank you. Prison is a Place Prison is a place where the first person you see looks like the All-American college boy and you are surprised. Later, you are disgusted because the people on outside still have the same prejudices about prisoners they used to have. Prison is a place where you write letters and cannot think of anything to say. Where you gradually write fewer and fewer letters and finally stop writing altogether. Prison is a place where you find gray hairs on your head, or where you find your hair starting to disappear. It's a place where you get false teeth, stronger glasses, and aches and pains were you never felt before. It is a place where you grow old and worry about it. Prison is a place where you hate with clenched teeth, where you want to beat, kick, and scratch, and you wonder if psychologists know what they're talking about when you say you actually hate yourself. Prison is a place where you learn that nobody needs you, that the outside world goes on without you. Prison is a place where you can go on for years without feeling the touch of a human hand, where you can go for months without hearing a kind word. It is a place where your friendships are shallow and you know it. Prison is a place where you hear about a friend's divorce and didn't know he was married. It is a place where you hear about your neighbors kid graduating from high school and didn't even know they had started yet. Prison is a place where you feel sorry for yourself, then get disgusted with yourself for feeling sorry for yourself, then you get mad for feeling disgusted and then try to mentally change the subject. Prison is a place where you lose respect for the law because you see it raw and naked, twisted and bent, ignored and blown out of proportion to suit the people who enforce it. Prison is a place where you are smarter than the parole board because you know which guys will go straight and which ones will not. You are wrong just as often as the board members are, but you never admit it, and neither do they. Prison is a place where you wait for a promised to visit. When it does not come, you worry about a car accident. When you find out the reason your visitors didn't come, you are glad because it was not serious... and then mad and disappointed because such a little thing could keep them from coming to see you. Prison is a place where you forget the sound of a baby's cry. You forget the sound of a dogs bark, or even the sound of a telephone dial tone. Prison is a place where a letter from home or from a lawyer can be like a telegram from the war department. When you see it laying on your bed you are excited, but almost afraid to open it. You do anyway and usually end up disappointed or angry. Prison is a place where you see men you do not admire and you wonder if you're like them. It's a place where you strive to remain civilized but where you lose ground and know it. Prison is a place where, if you're married, you watch your marriage died. It's a place where you learned that absence does not make the heart grow fonder, and you stop blaming your wife for wanting to live with a real man and not a fading memory. Prison is a place where you go to bed before you are tired... where you pull the blankets over your head when you're not cold. It's a place you escape... by reading, playing cards, or by going mad. Prison is a place where you fool yourself - where you promise yourself you will lead a better life when you leave. Sometimes you do but more often you do not. Prison is a place where you get out someday. Then you wonder how everyone else can be so calm when you are so excited. Your bus driver does 25 miles an hour and you want to tell him to slow down... but that would be foolish.
