Draggingtree Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Friday, September 24, 2010 Letters to a Future Death Row Inmate, Part 11 by Juan Martin Garcia #999360 Part 10 can be seen here Hello New Boot, I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Juan. I am from Houston, Texas and have been locked up on this case since I was 18 years old. I am now 30, an old man by the standards of this place. How time flies, I wasn’t going to send you anything at first, but I talked to the vato that is organizing this, so I am hoping and praying that you will take a minute to listen to me and understand what I am writing to you. You are going to learn about pain here, the kind you never knew existed. I am a Daddy of three monsters, some of the biggest monsters ever born, so I am glad that I am locked up. J I am just pulling your leg, of course. I have been away from them for so long. I can’t lie, it really does hurt to be apart from them but all make our choices and our mistakes when we are young, and now I have to see my daughters and my son call some other mother-$*#$#er Daddy. It’s not just us that pays. Everyone pays with you, and the fact that you see this is proof that you aren’t the cold-blooded killer that the outside world says of you. People can sentence another to die only if they think he isn’t human, so the only thing a prosecutor ever has to do is make you a dog. No, dogs get national campaigns to save them from the pound. They just have to make you into something that can be killed free of guilt. That’s all. http://minutesbeforesix.blogspot.com/2010/09/letters-to-future-death-row-inmate-part_7316.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
