I have been written to my friend Robert from January 2004.
He got my address frm a pen pal -ad, which his friend had print to him.
At first I was shocked - man from prison, and maybe he isnt innocent as he tolds, just another lier who seeks money. Then I just had a feeling I should gave him a chance. And now I am proud of myself - he is my mostly caring friend, good man with nice letters, thoughts etc.
He haven't ask anything from me - except friendship.
He is in Arizona, Death Row.
Sentenced of 2 armed robberies & murders there.
He is innocent.
I truly believe in it with my whole heart.
I am so angry: How United States Of America can sentence a man to deathrow without any strong evidences on him. What is legal system there! I think it is a joke!
There isn't ANY physical evidence - no eye-witness's, no dna, no fingerprints - nothing - just MANY lies of a man who wanted to save himself, and did it.
That man (after couple months of crimes) reveal his brother and Robert about crimes Robert didn't commit. It was only those two brothers.
That man is now out of jail and his own brother (who was there) and Robert, who I think is innocent are on Arizona death row.
How something like this can happen?
It is so frustrating be here, far away, and think I cannot do anything than write, support & hope.
Or is there!?!

Hun that is the way our Unjustice system works here, unfair and it is badly broken.
Robert is very lucky to have you as a friend. Just keep writing him and being his friend I know that means everything to him.

There are several innocent people sitting on DR across the country. That is why as to date 115 have been exonarated. That is why there should not be the DP.

Stay strong hun and come here often you will get lots of Love and support here.

If you ever need anything please feel free to pm me.

Dear Softie - thank you for beautiful words. It means a lot to me. I am really happy I found PTO, this is only place I can share my thoughts, with persons who truly understands me. I just wish, that there would be a day in future, with good news from Robert. I just think how truly his attorneys work with his case - I just think how many innocent people has already executed. I don't know what to do if it will happen to Robert too. I have lovely husband here to support me me to writing to Robert too - and as shocked about USA's legal system as I. I wish I could do also something concrete for him. Also I am sorry my English, it definitely isnt my mother tongue, but I try my best.

Hun always keep hope, there is always hope.
You say you wish you could do something concrete for Robert. You do that by being caring about him, by being his friend and by being there for him. You are giving him what he needs most at this time. You are giving him friendship and Love.

I think it is wonderful that your husband supports you being friends with Robert, that is wonderful.

Hun don't think about what if and what if this happens. Just think about the nice friendship you and Robert have now and enjoy each other and sharing that friendship.
Sometimes we can worry so much about things that haven't happened that we forget what we have right now.

By the way your English is wonderful so don't apologize.
