Piecing Together Evidence of Racketeering

Shortly after I had been granted a stay of execution in 1987, when the trial judge ruled she would only give me an evidentiary hearing on the sentencing issues of my appeal. I've seen on the television (world news) there was another first degree murder case on appeal out of Clearwater, Florida. Charging one of the detectives involved in my case, with police misconduct in his case. This is important to note: since I have been saying all along this same detective fabricated evidence in my case to make me appear overwhelmingly guilty. I immediately notified the attorneys appointed to represent me, about this case - but to no avail - which helps explain why the readily discoverable evidence to discredit the couple who testified against me went mysteriously undiscovered during this period of time. Since it appears these attorneys, and the judge, were working together to suppress the evidence of a much wider pattern of misconduct within Florida's legal community, and in so doing gambled on their self-incrimination of being complicit in the crime of racketeering, would go unprosecuted. So far their gamble has paid off!!! There are a couple other related pieces of evidence which demonstrate the pattern of misconduct taking place during this period of time. Two death row inmates from the same district court as me made a deal for their freedom after evidence of someone else possibly being the murderer in their case came to light, when evidence of this person's possible involvement in another murder surfaced. Coincidentally my case reveals a similar pattern, and would not have looked good coming to light too! Then there is the case of the jailhouse snitch, who was used in over 50 cases, and helped to send ten people to death row. The two attorneys who prosecuted my case are implicated in using the services of this jailhouse snitch's testimony in other cases they prosecuted, showing they were not above using any means possible to obtain a conviction; even to the degree of violating the integrity of the law. I strongly believe the scandal of my case of innocence coming to light at that time would have brought down Florida's death penalty. I can only pray for the same to occur now - beginning with my vindication. In my next entry I will expound more on my discovery of the evidence discrediting the couple who testified against me, while presenting more evidence of racketeering by a faction within Florida's legal community working collectively to obstruct justice in my case.
