With the recent events surrounding the State sanctionedassassination of Troy Davis, the killing of Frank Garcia,the illegal murder of the intellectual deficient GuadalupeEsparza and many other relevant situations concerningthe Death Penalty, it is indeed essential that we remain

strong on our efforts to eradicate this barbaric practice.Now by no means am I implying that those in thestruggle are not endeavoring earnestly enough in thisfight. But I do know how a troubled economy, politicallydissatisfaction and certain obstacles in this struggle canrob us of our motivation. And it can deter others fromfollowing their desire to get involved. Therefore theprimary focus in this issue is on the Death Penalty. Ourhope is that the material we have presented will not onlyprovoke serious contemplation from those who areuncertain about capital punishment, but may it also

generate more creative actions to abolish this murderousmachinery of death.

Remember the Death Penalty must continuously befought on every level and some times that level mayconsist of our view on certain cases. For indeed it ismuch easier to give a greater assistance to thoseindividuals whose case has a rather strong showing ofinnocence, compared to those cases where it is evidentthat guilt is not only certain, but the actions werehorrendous. So I encourage you all to join me inembracing a more powerful show of forgiveness, because

the illustration of such actions, is capable of inspiringothers to strive positively toward the betterment of theirlives. And it is also quite necessary that more assistancebe directed towards the encouragement of those withinthe Death Row community, to facilitate them to engagein avenues of positive progression, because the mind willdeteriorate from being held in a captivity of isolation, andthus will create a profound limitation on the fight againstthe Death Penalty from behind the prison walls.Therefore it is imperative to remain vigilant that no levelof the fight goes neglected, so strive with honor to push

forth genuine justice, and we will overcome the injusticethat stands before us.

exclusive interviewWith

Tyrone Armstrong 999518Polunsky Unit

Throughout the years police agencies across the United States have presented accusations of murder which have

resulted in the arrest and conviction of Innocent people. And this Unjust imprisonment of our citizens have occurredbecause of various reasons which include things such as perjury testimony Tampering of evidence, Coerce

confession, prosecution misconduct, and the refusal or lack of taking DNA test when DNA is a crucial factor in a

case And it is under this latter category we find Mr Tyrone Armstrong. Mr Armstrong is a Texas Death Row

Prisoner who is a native of Alabama, he is free spirited and honest man with a ready smile. One who moved to Texas

to be with the love of his life and start a family. But the fulfillment of this dream was interrupted, now in a rare

interview, Tyrone Armstrong shares with the P.u.r.e Report his story and the challenges he has faced on the journey to

persevere his innocence.

THE PURE REPORT

Peace and blessings to you Mr Armstrong. In light of your circumstances we hope all is well with you.

TYRONE ARMSTRONG

I hope and pray you are doing the bery best life can give you.

THE PURE REPORT

Most definitely the P.u.r.e.Report readers are grateful that you're sharing this time with us, so thanks a lot

for that.

TYRONE ARMSTRONG

I'm very happy to share my thoughts and good news with you all at this time, but I'm only allowed to

give so much at this time.

THE PURE REPORT

Thats understandable. Now Mr Armstrong will you please be so kind and give our readers a brief history onyour life

TYRONE ARMSTRONG

My life is a living hell here on (Death) Row. I'm from Mobile Alabama and I moved to Texas to be withthe true love of my life. (my soulmate) I'm a very open minded and honest man, that loves people. I love

to help people as well, I try to keep myself with positive things on my mind because this place will drive

you crazy, I'l give you more on my history in my next interview.

THE PURE REPORT

Can you tell us precisely when you were arrested and how were you treated during that time?

TYRONE ARMSTRONG

I was treated bad when I was arrested in that small town. It's not that many Blacks in the town and they

were mad because I had an hispanic Wife. So (because of that) they treated me very bad here, and theinvestigator told my wife to abort my son she was carrying (at that time) But she didn't and she stood by

my side and she is still there to this day in time, I thank god for her

Interview continued on Page 4 Page 3

THE PURE REPORT

That is definitely a traumatic experience, but it's uplifting to know that your Wife is still staying by yourside, so how long did you remain in the county jail before going to Trial.

TRYONE ARMSTRONGI was in the jail only for 8 months before I was put on Death Row, so what do that tell you?

THE PURE REPORTIt tells me something suspicious transpired. But what precisely occurred within that unfair proceedings.

TYRONE ARMSTRONG

I'm an innocent man, they tried me for something I didn't do and my lawyers at the time didn't donothing to prove it, I had no black people on my jury, and they (my attorneys) didn't test the stuff I told

them to do, that would have proved I didn't do it and the witness was an informat for the police who

lied.

THE PURE REPORT

Once convicted and sentenced to death, what kind of effect did it have on you and your family

TYRONE ARMSTRONGI couldn't believe they sentenced me to death for something I didn't do, I and my family felt like we

wasTn't worth nothing, but honestly words can't explain how I felt at that time.

THE PURE REPORT

Thats understandable and we know that these duration of years on Death Row haven't been easy but since

you have now received some great news concerning your case, what has transpired.

TYRONE ARMSTRONG

I gave all thanks to God, because if it wasn't for him all this truth would'nt have come out now I prayedto God for help and he gave me a law firm to (help) prove my innocence, Now they have found out

everything, Everything I told them is true, they discovered and they had some testings done andeverything came back negative! (and that includes) the DNA, the fingert prints and the weapon as well.So now they are putting together some thing from my trial judge, now im a very happy young man at this

time, if you can and will help me out with support, I will appreciate it very much and so do my family

THE PURE REPORT

Now we can imagine how this news has been received by your family, so congratulations to you all, but

please describe their reaction to this wonderful news.

TYRONE ARMSTRONG

My wife was so happy that she took off from work and came to visit me that same day, but words can't

truly describe her happiness, I'm truly glad she feel better.

EYE FOR AN EYE, LIFE FOR A LIFE

BY

Chuong Tong 999260

USA

In the State of Texas, every potential juror must answer the question of whether they are able to impose the Death Penalty or

not? Only those who answer yes are qualified to sit on a capital murder jury. The debate over the Death Penalty has always

been a sensitive topic for many in America. A central argument supporters for the Death Penalty utilize, ironically, is religious in

nature. Almost all of us are familiar with the eye for a eye, life for a life! chant. Without question, most, if not all of us

recognize this verse from the Old Testament and how advocates for the Death Penalty justify their position on executions based

on the Old Testament. With this in mind,.using the standard of the Old Testament Scriptures, how many are familiar with the

following verses? A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any

offence that he has committed. Only on the evidence of two or three witnesses shall a charge be established. If a malicious

witness arises to accuse a person of wrongdoing , then both parties to the dispute shall appear before the LORD, before the

priests and the judges who are in office in those days. The judges shall inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and

has accuses his brother falsely, then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. So you shall purge the evil from

your midst. And the rest shall hear and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil amoung you. Your eye shall not pity. It

shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. (Deut 19: 15-21 ESV)

By applying the same standards of the Old Testament by which advocates for the Death Penalty justify executing murderers, how

many prosecutors are currently sitting on Death Row awaiting execution? It is a documented fact that prosecutors in Capital

Murder cases have both used false witnesses and coerced others into giving false and misleading testimony. In fact, many times a

prosecutor will actually pay a witness to testify. If a witness is pursuing a righteous cause by helping a prosecutor put away a

stone cold killer, why would he need to be paid for his testimony? How about the prosecutor himself, when he becomes a false

witness by knowingly using false evidence and testimony to win a conviction? The statements above are not arguments toward a

theoretical worst case scenario. It will sicken most to find that most shockingly, these documented cases occur far too often! In

1996, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals overturned Robert Spurlock's conviction on the grounds that prosecutors

Lawrence Tay Whitley and Jerry Kitchen failed to correct the false testimony given by prosecution witnesses and used false

evidence! [874. S.W. 2d 602 (Spurlock)]. What about the case of Kerry Max Cook? The following quote is cited from the actual

Innocence report by: The Center for Public Integrity (compiled by: Neil Gordon).

In 1996, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned Cook's conviction because the prosecutors, including A. D. Clark,

Michael Thompson and David Dobbs, withheld and/or lied about evidence on a variety of matters concerning Cook's guilt andthe credibility of state witnesses and attempted to interview Cook without the knowledge or consent of his lawyers. The court's

opinion also notes that a state witness admitted that Clark pressured him to present false and misleading testimony . [940 S.W.

2d 623; 741 S.W. 2d 928].

In these two documented cases, where is the eye for a eye, life for a life standard placed on a false witness? If a person desires

to apply Biblical principles righteously and in a fair manner, why is it, not one of these prosecutors who knowingly used false

evidence and intentionally introduced false evidence has been sentenced to the same form of punishment they were seeking to

inflict, which happened to be the Death Penalty in these cases! The Scriptures clearly bear out the following:

and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his

brother.It shall be life for life, eye for eye.

These prosecutors were seeking the Death Penalty against these men. These prosecutors maliciously and intentionally tried to

have these men murdered by the State of Tennessee and Texas, respectively! In lay-man's terms, the prosecutors are literally

guilty of attempted murder or attempted Capital Murder. Advocates who are swift to use the Bible in order to justify andsupport the Death Penalty, who feel righteous in applying the Death Penalty in Capital Cases, I ask? Where is their sense of

indignation and outrage that none of these prosecutors have yet to be executed? True righteousness does not consist of applying

the Old Testament standard of eye for a eye, and life for a life toward a murder defendant, but overlooking and ignoring the

same standard of judgement on prosecutors who use false witnesses and present false evidence. It is called hypocrisy! In these

instances, it is the deadliest form of hypocrisy! It is perversion of justice. The Bible speaks out against this:

You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eye of the

wise and subverts the cause of the righteous. Justice, and only justice, you shall follow (Deut 16: 19-20 ESV)

ROOTED IN HATRED AND INJUSTICE

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT:

The Confederate mind of Texas

PAGE 6

There is no doubt that the continuation and atrocious

mistreatment of these prisoners violates U.N treaties and

conventions that guarantees human rights that forbid tortureand out law racial and political targeting by Government.

Professor Oshinsky from the University of Texas has stated

Texas has a tradition steeped in slavery and religious

conservatism that calls for death as a rightful punishment forsome crimes.. The confederate mind can not be intellectually

honest, nor can it be of justice ..for example:

The Trial Judge of Charles Dean Hood had a romantic relationship with the D.A who tried Mr Hood for capital

murder.. Jerry Guerinot, A Lawyer in Houston, Texas has

twenty (20) clients on Death Row, and there is no way an attorney can adequately represent that many capitaldefendants. Such actions are rooted in greed.

The beyler report stated state and local investigators ignoredsound scientific techniques in concluding that Arson caused

the 1991 fire that killed Cameron Willingham's three

daughters

Sadly Willingham was convicted of capital murder and

executed unjustly in 2004 under Governor Rick Perry watch.

But unfortunately the Confederate mind exist in Regions

beyond Texas for we see how in Chicago Jon Burge a former

Lieutenant with the Police force led a group of Police officerscalled The midnight crew These ruthless thugs used cattle

prods to electric shock the genitals of suspects who were

handcuffed. They also handcuffed suspects to hot radiators,conducted mock executions, and severely beat people in order

to not only obtain information in a investigation, but to also

coerce confessions from individuals who were claiminginnocence.

The great Fredrick Douglas called the

4th July Independence day, Double

consciousness and double dealing and heelucidated further that: Your celebrationis a sham. Your boast of Liberty and holy

alliance, your national greatness swelling

vanity---your denunciation of TyrantsBrass fronted impudence (and) your

shout of Liberty and Equality is hollow

mockery..

Between 1861-1865 America fought

against the confederate mind and itself! It

wagged a civil war against a system thatno longer served its purpose. And the

confederate mind of Texas is Akin to

confederate minds of the 1800's.

It is a racist State of mind, whether it's

raw or it's veiled, however racism here is

not racial prejudice. i.e. hatred andhostility towards group or person for

various irrational reasons, but it's rather

the practice of turning that hatred and

hostility into public policy.

The Texas Legislature and many otherstate officials (judges, prosecutor, police

officers etc.) have no wish for the people

throughout the world to know that suchinjustice exists within its border.

And our American Government like wise

harbor such an affiliation of denying the

truth. Because how can you go into a

country (whether if it's Vietnam, Iraq, orAfghanistan) and tell these people abouttheir democracy, when here in America,

innocent men and woman are being

executed in Texas?

SOMETHING TO LIVE FORBY

Perry Williams Jr. 999420

Polunsky Unit. D/row3872 Fm 350 south,

Livingston, Texas, 77351

USA

At times you may feel that you're damned if you do and damned if you don't, but you are truly mistaken,

It's just that our expectations are unrealistic about how life should go for us as individuals. The only thingin life guaranteed for us as human beings is death and struggle while we do live. We will experience both

good and bad and yes for some of us, we may experience more bad than good in our life time, and most of

the time we do have some control over how much of the bad we go through. Because some of the negative

things we experience is a result of what we do and how we think. And how we think is reflected in what wedo, how we live and how we respond to things.

We were all sent here to die, but not all of us will end up dying as a result of what we did, some of us will,yet many of us won't. So, since we know that death could be our end, then this entire experience for me is

more about how to deal with that possibility. And I will not allow the threat of death (a potential execution)

to deter me from living life to it's fullest. So I encourage each of you within our death row community, andall those In Free-society who are aware of our plight, do not allow your preconceived notions the stigma of

this situation, or any prejudice belief to prevent you from seeing those on the Row as fellow human beings.

Because if we choose to turn away from someone because of the mistake they've made, the type of crime

that was committed, or due to the fact they may die, then my friends, we are in a violation that interruptsthe blessing of Life.

How is that Possible?

Because when that is done, we have taken away the possibility that this person was put in our path in order

to learn some kind of valuable life lesson from you, or perhaps it was you who needed to learn somethingfrom them. So be of selfishness, this chain of blessings can be broken and someone could potential be

denied a very important lesson that would facilitate them in this journey of Life.

So you see my friends, because of what can be gained from a friendship, we hopefully can become better

people. Then a truer reflection can be seen of what is means to be brothers and sisters of humanity. For

indeed we are our brother's (and sisters) keepers. So let's make an earnest effort to be a blessing to each

other..

And remember, it's not always just about us as individuals. The power of solidarity can not be forgotten .

For just as we once had to depend upon others during our youth or other situations in life, we have anobligation of honor to do the same for others who truly need our assistance. And with such obligations of

Honor still awaiting to be fulfilled. And with lessons of life yet to be learned o rfor one to teach and of

course for that of my family and friends I indeed have something great and a lot more to live for.

What's wrong with America

Everyone seems to have a pistol,Thou not enough people have a 9 to 5

Tupac's Brenda is out of prison,

But her baby still struggles to stay alive

The state of America needs urgent attention,

Not media coverage on the next city to film

An episode on Desperate housewives,

Not asinine comments about presidential Birth certificates,

Nor another musical show highlighting a voice.

When the voice of reason and self destruction

Should be the Beacon that is heard.

Whats wrong with America?

We need nouns, we need nows.We need solutions to problems that solves

Before they are created,

But you all don't hear me thou,

Which is a part of the problem

Deaf ears,

Always make dumb asses

Yet if I say:

Crack sells

Meth burns down city blocks

Bath beads is being smoked

Oh, you all hear that.

With Saliva forming in you all's mouths.

Politicians lie,But the jokes on you


Too much to tell

When the burning path leads to

You get the picture right?

Perhaps you don't

Which explains why you won't do a damn thing to fix America,

The roof is on fire

And you all too busy watching

The muther fucker burn

We al have a complaint

But none of the complainers ever case a vote

So you get what you deserveThe Ballot or the Bullet

Which is what brother Malcolm warned

What's wrong with America?

America forgot all about Ballots and armed itself with bullets

America became a sea of crabs

Pulling down what we once thought was Liberty

Being fake is now the new Real

Elders right the wrong that these misguided youngsters do

And wrong every right they envisioned to achieve, feel me?

Justice has become the equal adulterer with

injustice,

Sharing the same soiled sheets that wrongly

covered Gary Graham and Todd Willingham

And many others.

Enslaving innocent men/women, like myself

Because seeing a vulnerable Black man in chains

Is so American?

Like smelling a mayflower from the killing fields

Of the south,

Surely we'll get to the roots of the matter one day,

Justice isn't blind

Just ignorantShe's the one bitch that seems to be too good

To be worthy of being about truth,

Ask Maria....

Shriver that is,

No Justice

No Peace

In America focus on the No

Cause no means no only to the poor, the ignorant,

People of color and those who don't speak

English in a growing Spanish Economy.


Not a damn thing if you are not willing

To be apart of the solutionCause America has too many

Applicants aiding the problem
