Proceeds from the book will be used for Flores Federal appeal, defenders, and investigators. The book can also be purchased on the website Warrior Within, using your paypal account.
There are 28 chapters in the book covering everything about being on death row from being in "the hole" to friends, visitation, executions, legal limbo, suicide, shakedowns, abuse, mind games and freedom. An excerpt from the book in Flores own words, "To this day I've never met a "rich" man on death row. I've never heard of someone coming from an affluent family being sent to death row. That fact causes me nightmares. That means that capital punishment exists only for the poor in the United States of America. "I've yet to see a rich man die in the death chamber in Huntsville."
Flores was convicted to die under the law of parties, Floors states this about his conviction on the website" I was tried and convicted on capital murder in Dallas County, Texas under the law of Parties."
There are approximately 80 inmates on death row in Texas convicted under The Law Of Parties. This law can give the death penalty to anybody involved in a crime where a murder occurred, even if the accused was not involved.
Flores has been on Texas death row since 1999. According to the TDCJ website, "On 01/29/98, during the daytime hours, in Farmers Branch, Texas, the subject and the co-defendant, Richard Lynn Childs, murdered a 64-year old white female, during the course of a burglary. Flores and the co-defendant broke into the victim's house and shot the victim with a pistol. Flores and the co-defendant were looking for money but did not find any. "

you tried to murder a highway patrol officer coming back from mexico
you are guilty as sin
you cannot die too soon you bastard
Are you saying that because someone is "affluent" or has been raised in an "affluent" environment makes them less capable of having any evil mindset as murder? That is ridiculous...there are plenty of "affluent" people who committ captiatl crimes...lots, maybe even more. They just get away with it more often than the poor "unffluent" people.
"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." -- from The Red Lily, 1894 by Anatole France
I can't really fault wealthy defendants for hiring the best legal representation they can afford. I blame Texas' public defender system for stacking the deck against indigent defendants.
Charles was sentenced under Texas law, "Law of Parties", meaning you don't have to be the murderer, to recieve the death sentence.
The sad fact of the matter is, as we have seen in many, many cases, the rich can higher better lawyers and get away with more. Rich people commit crimes all of the time, they just have the money to get out of it. Regardless as to what the government and people with money try to tell you, money talks and bullsh*t walks. The upper, richer class has the mindset they can do whatever they want, and get away with it. And they can.
Is it possible that growing up in an affluent environment causes people to have a mental mindset that doesn't result in them committing capital crimes?
