Gregory E. Wright Scheduled for Execution Has Proven His Innocence

Texas death row inmate Gregory Wright has proven beyond a doubt that he is innocent of the murder of Donna D. Vick. However although he recieved a 90 day stay of execution in September, so DNA tests could be analysed, he is scheduled for execution on October 30, 2008. Outstanding new evidence of innocence has been brought in front of Judge Robert Francis, but yet the execution date still remains. Francis is the same Judge whose decision for another death row inmate Darlie Routier DNA testing to be denied, was reversed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals who stated that "Routier, 38, is entitled to have more sophisticated genetic testing performed on a few pieces of hair and blood evidence collected from the 1996 crime scene." according to "The StandDown Texas Project" and can be read here.

A Judge has a legal and ethical obligation to ensure that a defendant has a fair and impartial trial as prescribed by the Constitution of the USA, especialy when the defendants life is at stake. However facts show that Wrights trial was anything but fair. According to Wrights website where facts and transcribes of the trial are posted for the public to view, newly discovered evidence opens "Gateway" claims under Texas Criminal Code.

Wright's co-defendent John Wade Adam's (#999278) has written a letter claiming his guilt, on July 7, 2008 that reads as follows: "My name is John Wade Adams #999278. I want the record clear that Greg Wright is innocent of the crime he's here on death row for. If you kill him your (sic) killing a innocent man. Greg Wright was used as a scape goat. I'm doing this because I'm tired of seeing innocent people being killed for murders they've not done the statement I made is a lie the one I made at the first of our arrest. greg wright is innocent! I was there and know better." On August 11, 2008 Adams sent a supplemental declaration clarifying Wright's role in the offense, according to the website, which stated the following. "Did you place the murder of Donna D. Vick on the hands of Gregory E. Wright? Yes, to make it look like he did it." Is Gegory E. Wright actually and factually innocent of the murder of Donna D. Vick and never knew of any intent to harm before the crime took place? yes, he's innocent of this crime, I did it". "Did you kill Donna D. Vick? Yes." "Do you have anything additional to add, relevant to the subject of Gegory E. Wright's trial, evidence, conviction, sentence, or date of execution, not previously covered in your above and foregoing answers? Greg is innocent . You will be killing an innocent man".

DNA tests show that the DNA on a pair of jeans which was used as evidence against Wright does not match Wright. DNA tests on the murder weapon also show no link to Wright. According to an article about James Curtis Giles, the 13th man to be exonerated in Dallas County by DNA, the same county as Wright, "No other county in America has had more convictions invalidated since genetic testing freed the first of almost 200 convicted felons nationwide in 1989." Other new evidence proving Wright's innocence include a fingerprint that was unidentifiable, and not Wright's.

Gregory E. Wright's constitutional rights were violated, and according to the website lists the following: "Prosecution surpressed evidence that a witness was offered immunity, surpressed statements of guilt by Adam's, surpressed evidence that a knife and jeans used in the murder were found near Adam's property at a shack where Adam's stayed, and also surpressed the fact that Adams was the occupant of the shack where they were found, the prosecution falsely indicated that the state did not know the whereabouts of a witness to one of Adam's admissions of guilt."

The crime scene investigator at the murder scene has been proven to be a fraud. Eric George Rosenstrom has been featured on "America's Most Wanted" in connection of a murder he commited that can be viewed here and here. This man was not trained to be a crime investigator, and lied about his qualifications and experience, and lied on his resume. Rosenstrom is currently a fugitive listed on "America's Most Wanted. Clearly if a man who was fraudulant was the investigator in a murder crime scene, than that information used was obtained fraudulently. How can this be admissible in a murder trial? Real defendants, real attorneys, real judge, fake investigator? Something is very wrong in Dallas County if this execution does indeed take place. This brings me to wonder how many other Capital murder trials did Rosenstrom investigate? Read Rosenstrom's testimony in court here.
