BLOOD EVIDENCE - PLUS SOME

I was being told by the attorneys appointed to represent me, the evidence showed I had the victims blood all over me. With my persistent cries of being innocent, and insistence of the blood evidence being wrong: falling on deaf ears! As it appears the other evidence represented as being overwhelming as to guilt, had prejudiced the five trial level attorneys. Since they apparently presumed this was an open-and-shut case, and took for granted the blood evidence incriminated me too. Because it did not matter how adamant I remained the blood was mine and not the victims - no one was listening. [U]It is important to note:[/U] nor did it seem to matter to these attorneys that I had also been brutally attacked at approximately the same time the murder was taking place. At which time, I suffered a severe blow to the back of the head, to the shoulder, my nose was broken, and bleed profusely from both nostrils. I will expound on the importance of this information in future blog entries. In 1987, I learned while sitting on death watch (a month away from being executed) that favorable evidence disputing the eyewitness testimony, and a blood test report revealing only one blood type had been found on my person ([U]mine[/U]) had been discovered. I was elated, because here was the evidence coming to light, I insisted all along had to exist, due to my innocence. I just knew this evidence was enough to exonerate me - only to learn the trial Judge ruled, denying me relief on the guilt/innocent issues of my appeal. Stating even if she threw out the eyewitness testimony and the blood evidence - there was still the testimony of the couple saying I had confessed to them. Which the judge wrongly reasoned to be credible, and standing alone would have been enough to obtain a conviction. So now I was being told even though I had evidence disputing the eyewitness testimony, and the blood evidence used to bring about my false conviction - I was not going to be given the opportunity to tie it all together to dis-

credit the couples testimony incriminating me for the murder. The judge did agree to hear the sentencing issues, and that got me a stay of execution. Ten years later, I would personally discover the evidence needed to discredit the couples testimony and incriminate them as the killer's. It was this discovery on my part that began to reveal a much wider pattern of misconduct taking place within Florida's legal community. Which can now be definded as racketeering, and with the help from this court of public opinion: brought to justice! There are a lot of pieces of evidence I will bring out in the process of turning this blog into an indictment, and it is my prayer and hope this court will grow in the process. My vindication and succeeding to bring an end to Florida's use of the death penalty depends on this courts verdict carrying the weight to prosecute those guilty of racketeering. Please help to make this blog go viral. THANK YOU!
