HELP! This man will soon die.
   
As some of you may or may not know, I write to people on Death Row. Recently, I've been writing to Reginald Perkins, who is on Texas Death Row, and scheduled to die on January 22, 2009. Reginald is retarded, and was convicted on purely circumstantial (and not even good circumstantial)evidence. In fact, he is being convicted on the testimony of the person who probably committed the crime, himself. This is a travesty of justice.

Please, please sign the petition at the link below, asking the governor of Texas to spare Reginald Perkin's life:

3. Sorry, but
   
I find it hard to believe that a person that was a truck driver and a plumber is partially retarded.

7. You can't believe everything you read, dear.
   
Reginald was working with his relatives, and helping them out and they were paying him a little bit here and there. He was NOT a plumber, but he helped a plumber and they TOLD him he was a plumber, so he told the TDCJ he was a plumber. Same thing with the truck driving.

This poor man is just pitiful. I've written to a lot of death row prisoners, and I've yet to see one that protests his innocence to me. They just don't do it. They don't talk about their cases. They try to get them overturned via a technicality, because they know that the evidence is against them.

This has not been the case with Reginald. From the beginning, he has railed against the injustice, and proclaimed his innocence. The evidence against him is about as substantial as a mist. He was convicted on the testimony of the man who actually committed the crime. However, he is a poor, ignorant, stupid black man; not even smart enough to contribute to his own defense.

It is shameful what the State of Texas is going to do to this man.

5. I don't know much about the man
   
But what about the reports he has prior rape and attempted rape convictions. And he was a suspect in a couple killing in Cleveland in the 1980's?

9. What about them?
   
Do you believe everything that the powers that be tell you? Reggie is not very smart. Believe me, he's not smart enough to escape conviction, or to hide his tracks, if he did the crimes. The evidence was simply not there for them to build a case against him and it is highly unlikely he committed any crime, except the rape. And, I don't know enough about that to even go into it.

But rape is not murder. He was convicted for the murder of his stepmother. He and another guy, who is a crack addict, were supposed to have killed her with a telephone cord and taken her checks and gone around town and cashed them. But, the only person on camera cashing the checks was the crack addict, and no fingerprints, no hair, no anything, of Reggie's was even found in the car. He was convicted on the testimony of the crack addict.

And the crack addict was never charged with anything.

Can we start a counter-petition to move up his execution?

It's Texas, he's already on the express lane.

Unless it is from a convicted felon sitting on death row I guess.

[TheSarge]

The DUmmies don't seem to realize...ESPECIALLY after what happened with Mexico a month ago...we don't give rats ass about whether the bleeding hearts are upset about someone who has been found guilty and sentenced to die under state law.

[Miss Mia]

Well, he sounds like a real winner...

Evidence at his trial showed he pawned his stepmother's wedding ring and wrote fraudulent checks from the account of the family trucking business in Fort Worth. When Gertie Perkins showed up missing, police summoned to her home found a carpet removed, a phone cord disconnected and sheets missing from a bed.

He became a suspect after detectives learned of his previous convictions in Ohio for rape and attempted rape and that he had been a suspect in two killings in Cleveland in the 1980s. When arrested, he directed his father and police to the body.

Perkins also acknowledged the slaying to a fellow inmate while awaiting trial and said his motive was robbery.

At the punishment phase of his trial, jurors heard testimony that he pleaded guilty to rape and attempted rape of two 12-year-old girls in 1982 and that he had been implicated in the strangulation of two women. One of them was the mother of the girl he raped. The other was the sister of his ex-wife.

You must sign to give this "petition" appropriate gravitas.

One of them was the mother of the girl he raped. The other was the sister of his ex-wife.

In 1986, he had been paroled from Ohio after receiving a life prison term for the rape conviction. He was returned from parole eight years later but released again in February 2000. His stepmother's murder occurred 10 months later.

Perkins does not have an execution date.

What the HELL goes through this bitch's mind when she tries to beg other people to help her keep scum like this alive?!

Perkins does not have an execution date.

In a second Texas death row case Tuesday, Elkie Taylor, convicted in another Fort Worth case, lost his bid for a rehearing before the justices.

In March, the court refused to review Taylor's conviction and sentence for strangling a 65-year-old Fort Worth man with two wire coat hangers and then leading police on a four-hour chase in a stolen 18-wheeler.

Like Perkins, Taylor also had been contending in appeals he shouldn't have been condemned because he is mentally retarded. He was sentenced to die for the 1993 robbery and murder of Otis Flake at Flake's Fort Worth home. Authorities said it was the second killing linked to Taylor over an 11-day period. The Milwaukee native had been on parole for about three months at the time of the slayings, freed after serving less than nine months of an eight-year sentence for burglary.

In 2003, two days before he was set to be executed, he won a reprieve from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals because state prison records showed he may be mentally retarded and ineligible for execution under Supreme Court guidelines.

The Texas appeals court later lifted its reprieve. Lower federal courts also have denied his subsequent appeals.

Taylor, who does not yet have an execution date, climbed in the cab of the stolen truck and led police on a chase from Fort Worth to Waco that ended when a state trooper shot out the truck's tires. In the chase, he tried to ram police cars and run over two troopers standing on the side of a road.

Authorities contended Taylor and an accomplice took cash and items from Flake's house so they could be sold to buy crack cocaine. His accomplice, Darryl Birdow, was sentenced in 1994 to life in prison. Authorities said Taylor admitted involvement in a similar slaying of an 87-year-old Fort Worth man 11 days earlier but blamed the killing on a partner.

What the HELL goes through this bitch's mind when she tries to beg other people to help her keep scum like this alive?!

NOT the victims nor the victims' families.

Getting lovey letters from a retard rapist on death row seems just about her speed.

She actually had the gonads to come onto CU when her LAST death row buddy was looking at the needle and ask everyone THERE to help.

[rich_t]

Am I the only one that thinks that rape, especially child rape should be a capital offense?

[mamacags]

No, in fact if they are caught in the act they shouldn't even be given a freaking trial.

[DixieBelle]

HOLY HELL is right!!!

  A big F**K YOU to our friend Melanie.

I think if she wants the right to exchange letters with death row scum, she should be forced to read the case files and look at the evidence photos. God she is so vile.

I hate death row scumbags and the people that love them.

[Duke Nukum]

Am I the only one that thinks that rape, especially child rape should be a capital offense?

Nope.  In fact, before the idiotic Kinsey report rape was a capital offense in several states.

[rich_t]

No, in fact if they are caught in the act they shouldn't even be given a freaking trial.

Agreed.

[rich_t]

Nope.  In fact, before the idiotic Kinsey report rape was a capital offense in several states.

Another f'ed up SCOTUS ruling.

If Obama is elected he might nominate NAMBLA apologists to the bench.

[rich_t]

My bad...

I was thinking of the Patrick Kennedy case.
