Hello to my many friends and supporters. Thank you to all that have written in, have viewed the site, signed the petition and all who have passed it on. Thank you. I have been asked a lot of times what do I think of, or what is on my mind most of the time. To be honest, it does change very often. But, If I dwell much on the past I could find my self on the edge of depression. I know that I have to focus on what might be best if I can. It still does not change the fact however that because of perjured testimony, prosecutor misconduct and withheld evidence I had a wrongful conviction. The hardest part has been that I missed out on my sons life. I am proud he has become a wonderful man and a devoted father, but still, all through his life I was not there to be a dad, a father, a friend.. Everything I see he is to my beautiful granddaughter. I lost a lot of family, every hope I had was taken away. I am too old now to start over. The county of Talladega, Alabama has taken my life away. When I was offered a plea deal of a shorter prison sentence, I could not take it because I was not guilty. I had it in my mind and my heart that I would be proven innocent. To this day, I do still believe it, and to answer the question I am asked very often.. If I had to do it over, would I take the deal? My answer is NO. Many mistakes were made at my trial, mostly by the "Death Row" (as he is known) District Attorney and the "sell out" defense attorney (who was appointed 5 capital cases and lost all 5) who then praises the D.A.. ?! In almost 27 years of this fight, as I said, what I missed out on can never be restored. However, I have been blessed to have met some wonderful people. There are far too many to mention but many many of you have gone above and beyond what most would do. I can never thank you enough. So now, as time winds down, and my options become fewer. I am going to make it my goal to tell all of you that I do love you and am thankful. I ask that you say a prayer for the legal team and send each other a note of support. We are one united. Again thank all of you. Bill.
