Hello Supporters,

We spoke to Arthur last night and he has the following message to share. If you could please take a moment and read his words and share this petition with just one more person, we will get close to 2,000 signatures. Thank you all for your time and support:

"I don’t really know how technology works or how things go viral, but I’m glad there are people out there who believe my story. I’m glad that people are getting a chance to read my story and hear what I have been arguing for the last 25 years and I appreciate everything that is being done on my behalf. It truly means a lot to me. Because I am truly innocent of these crimes. To all those who read my story and signed my petition, I want to thank you for believing in me. I want to get out. I feel like I deserve to be out. And I know some may think that I sound like another Black man in the system or another statistic. But I did the time –  time I should have never had to do. And I have just tried to put up the best fight I could. And I do appreciate everyone for believing in my story, believing in me, believing in my innocence. The tunnel with the light at the end I have been seeing, I can now see what’s on the other side of the tunnel because of you all. And I appreciate you." - Arthur
