On August 3,1992, Phillip Clark Watts stabbed Lawrence Harrison "Hoss", 82 years old, 63 times in Lawrence's home before stealing his social security check, clothes and tools. There were 26 of the stab wounds in his face which blackened his eyes. Both his eyes were gouged out with the knife blinding him while they fought. He was fighting for his life. There were also bite marks on his back. His injuries were so extensive that his body was grotesquely mutilated.

Watts was convicted of murder in the 1st degree and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison plus one extra year for using a knife. He will have only served 23 years when he is considered for parole.

We the undersigned STRONGLY OPPOSE PAROLE FOR Phillip Clark Watts. Justice demands he serve the full prison term given to him at the time of his sentence.
