I look forward to the day that those who are proved innocent are not under the twisted power trip control of states where the courts would much rather execute an innocent man rather than admit they were not RIGHT! (shaking my head) Its so wrong. I share your anger with you, please know this, as I have seen too many cases and experienced firsthand that what the law wants to happen is what will happen even when its not correct. I wish that I was in a position to help you with your definite need to prove your case truly. Id give anything to be a powerful lawyer that was listened to and was able to teach the US that its okay to question the courts and the law, etc. So many juries do not remain skeptical and look at things further than what the prosecutor is saying in his own twisted way, and the defense does not always bring up the correct issues.....I feel they leave so much out. If that isnt the problem then the judge can sometimes be biased to the prosecutors side rather than any defense side. I know you mentioned judge bias. I know for a fact this happens, you are not alone. -CC
Milo, I am going to do my best to pass your blog onto some websites I know of (and other blogs as well ran by those who do their best to look into cases) that are involved in proving innocence if at all possible. If I am able to reach one man through e-mail via his website/blog Ill request that he get in touch with you directly. I have never met him or written to him but hopefully he will get my message and take it seriously. Ill ask that he at least take a look at your story, because he does a great job. I also know that he has written himself (and I agreed with him) about his view of prosecuting attorneys which you discuss here and its very true in most cases where innocence is lost in all the misconstrued rambling, etc. I truly do wish you the best and will past this blog and its web address on to all I know involved in law and involved in innocence proving/looking into trial records for things not correct and many other things they do out of the kindness of their hearts. I know if I leave the web address for them, they can reach and read this blog easier/quicker that way. Wish me luck getting one of them to answer me and better yet, to contact you via mail which is my goal most of all. Stay strong, CC
Hi Milo, I wanted to let you know I am reading your blog and just found you thanks to Ronnie's post on his blog deathrowpoet where you said to google your name, which I did and thankfully I found you here. Im going to catch up on your other entries and just wanted to let you know I am reading, so you will know you are not writing for no reason. Please take care of yourself, I am unable to imagine what you have been through and hope all is as well as can possibly be considering the circumstances. Best wishes from further on up the East Coast :) C.C.
Here is one more thought I'd like to share. I NEVER considered the penal system or mis-treatment of felons serving time. Just not something I ever considered because myself and my family were never involved in the system. Nobody was ever incarcerated. Then, 2000, the unthinkable and my world shattered. Since then, I've read a lot to try to understand what makes someone play God with lives and still sleep at night. I didn't play God and I need sleeping aids (12 years later). Maybe if these convicted murderers opened up more (instead of posting commisary lists) - people like me could understand. Thank you for the chance to post in a respectful and honest manner.
I see your point of view. I hope I didn't come off as rude or disrespectful because that was NOT my intent. Having been a victim of a horrific crime (personally and one I won't share here) - I get my feathers ruffled rather easily when convicted murderers complain about the cost of Skittles or the price of Raman noodles. My ENTIRE life was erased. I have a difficult time finding sympathy.
By the way...anybody know the outcome of the latest hunger strike supposed to happen late August? The blog post is dated September with no mention of the strike.
I agree with you completely it's so horrible to think these kids are faced with this kind of torment on a day to day basis, with no one to turn to, no one to hear their pain. As to why you never stood up for people in the past I think that we all ask ourselves that now. At the time maybe it's fear that holds us back, maybe we think they will turn on us, maybe we worry we won't be heard. I think we all fear that feeling of feeling small, insignificant and so when we see someone else suffering from bullying as much as we may feel so so sorry for them, part of us is secretly just pleased its not us! What do you think?
I am aware of the information that is on Google, and therefore, understand what the criminal history states. That does not make what Mr. Philmore shared any more irrelevant. It is his truth. Regardless of what an individual experiences or does in their life, how they feel is still legitimate. He is still a flawed human, as we all are. But thank you for your offer anyway SAH, but it is not necessary. Surely you do not have anything to prove to me or Mr. Philmore. Who are we to you?

Transcription complete. Thank you for writing. Hearts going out to you, Mr. Williams, and the rest on the block.
Best.
