Hello!
I am one of the "Lucasville Five" condemned to death for alleged roles during the disturbance at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, Ohio, on April 11-21. 1993. There is no physical evidence linking me to any of the crimes charged. I was convicted on the basis of testimony from other prisoners who were promised protection, letters to the parole board, reduced charges and sentences, dismissal of charges or other benefits.
The State of Ohio interfered with attorneys efforts to counsel me during the investigation phase prior to the indictments. This occurred at a time when, according to law, I should have been presumed innocent.
The prosecution had access to resources far greater than the resources available to the defense. For example, the prosecution had virtually unlimited funds at their disposal while the defense was not given adequate funds. Attorney, Niki Schwartz testified at my trial that it was as if the prosecution had been provided with nuclear weapons and the defense had been provided with sling shots. I was not prosecuted as the hands on killer but because of the role I played as a spokesperson and negotiator for the prisoners.
Although the indictment did not mention conspiracy, the prosecution based its theory during trial on alleged conspiracy among rival gangs. The State of Ohio engaged in repeated unscrupulous trial tactics such as putting on perjured testimony and withholding exculpatory evidence needed to prove my innocence at trial.

I ask for your support to ask for a moratorium on all executions in the State of Ohio. It's time to speak out before the State kills an innocent person in your name. Write to the Governor and members of the Ohio Senate and Legislature and demand a moratorium in Ohio.
At this time I am being housed at the Ohio State Super Max Prison at 878 Coitsville-Hubbard Road, Youngstown, Ohio, 44505. I am separated from the rest of the Ohio death row prisoners in twenty-three hour lockdown in my cell; no contact, sensory deprivation and isolation. I am not guilty of the crimes the State has manufactured against me. I encourage you to speak out against the death penalty.
