On June 27th 2022, the judge went against the jury’s unanimous recommendation for death and chose to re-sentence me to lie in prison. I’ve been adjusting to life in general population and really haven’t had time to stop and reflect on everything. Remember, I’m coming from 20 years of solitary confinement to a wide open prison population, which includes having to adjust to every little thing.
What was normal for me for the past 20 years is now a thing of the past. It does feel good not having to be handcuffed and shackled everywhere I go, but I do miss the privacy and the ability to set my own schedule which comes with solitary confinement.
I’ll get more into it another time, but I’m mainly reaching out to say thank you to everyone that helped me through some very difficult days. I’m certain that I wouldn’t be who I am today if I was on this journey alone. Thank you.
From David and his friends on this blog, we wanted to address the subject of the victims and loved ones of people on Death Row directly.
In supporting David to create this blog, ourselves and David are very aware of hurting people affected by anything that has led to people being on Death Row. We worried about this and continue to be mindful of other people's suffering. We all have families and cannot imagine the suffering you have gone through and continue to go through.
Nothing that we publish is intended in any way to undermine this.
We simply want to draw attention to the injustices of the death penalty system as it stands, and we are doing this through the experiences of one person we know well.
Everyone suffers and we don't want one person's suffering to cancel out another.
We hope you understand.
