The Issue

           FREE Stanley Watson

Fix the Oklahoma justice system, and COMANCHE COUNTY corruption

(OKLAHOMA GOT IT WRONG!)


We move for Stanley Watson to be released and or sentence commuted.. 


On September 24-26 2000. At the age of 17 Mr. Stanley Watson was charged and later sentenced to life with parole for a crime of which he didn't commit. Seeing that the victim (Austin Hatcher) was a young white male. The investigation and all procedures the county sheriff's department, and investigators took along with the district attorney's office were totally racist and prejudicial. Stanley never stood a chance at a fair trial. The witnesses Alonzo Horne, Sachiko Glaster even testified that they were in alot of words being forced to testify to a lie because the D.A had threatened them that had they not testified to what the wanted then they (The witnesses) were going to be tried with the murder. This took place on the stand and the jury heard it. However; still Mr. Watson was convicted and his name was drug through the mud during the investigation. The investigation wasn't taken seriously. For there was a hunting knife found at the scene of the crime but was never taken and actually presented into evidence. The three people who testified Against Stanley all had conflicting statements. None of them added up. No one could even place a knife in Mr. Watson's hands at any time during the party. It wasn't until afterwards while no longer at the party that Sachiko Glaster in her testimony said that while at Jennifer Kelley's house she saw a knife In Mr.  Watson's hand.. Missing to share the information that during the ride from the party; She and Stanley had been holding hands with one hand with the other he was smoking a cigarette. Never once did he display a knife or any weapon for that matter. There was absolutely no one who testified that they actually witnessed Stanley Watson commit the crime. They only placed him at or around the fight. Which he never denied being at. The lawyer of Stanley Watson was a public defender by the name of Don guttridge. His private investigator was Scott Rice. The lawyer did absolutely nothing to defend Stanley Watson accurately. He showed no push to prove how Stanley was innocent instead he only aimed to prove his theory of who he thought it was.. May I add that all of Stanley's clothes and shoes were checked and swiped of the DNA of the deceased. And there were no traces of Austin Hatcher's blood or even clothes follicles on Stanley's clothes. The lawyer was very ineffective as he at one point lied to Stanley Watson about a court session with a special jury. They pulled Stanley up a few days before his scheduled trial date.. Mr. Watson confused, and with no knowledge as to his constitutional rights or the law Mr. Watson asked what was going on.. Guttridge informed Stanley that he was about to go to trial, and none of his family were going to be able to attend. He called it a special jury trial.. When Mr. Watson grew even more weary. The lawyer told him that I'm ordering his family to be able to come to his trial. He (Stanley Watson) was going to have to go into the judge chambers and tell him they needed an extension of time because they weren't ready or prepared. All this was a game to help the state place fear into Mr. Watson, a young black kid who was ignorant to the law and life. Once Mr. Watson denied to ask for the extension and told the judge, D.A and his lawyer he was ready for trial. This took them by shock. The judge quickly took it off record and again tried to convince Mr. Watson to ask when he didn't budge the D.A himself asked for one stating he had hundreds of other witnesses to talk to. The judge granted it to him.. This entire case was filled with racism and prejudices. All they knew was that a young white man was dead, and they were going to convict someone for it.. That someone was Mr. Watson. And with the fear they placed into his friends who also were very young. NONE OF THEM STOOD A CHANCE AGAINST THE SYSTEM.
