An Open Letter to those responsible for the wrongful death of Gregory Edward Wright

I am today publishing the following Open Letter to those persons and judicial bodies responsible for the wrongful execution of my friend Gregory Edward Wright, on October 30th 2008.

Version 1 is an edited version suitable for media publication.

Version 2 is an unedited version which will be sent to primary players as indicated above.

Mar. 08   Appeals page updated with the incredible and false testimony of John Adams, in a Deposition Hearing in the Court of Judge Francis, which retracted written and signed statements exonerating Greg of all complicity in the murder of Donna Vick. While the courts have never accepted the truth of this statement, it effectively denied Greg the one crucial piece of evidence that would have spared his life. Adams is now using it in an effort to save his own.  Look here to see scans of the original written statements of John Adams that he signed AND MADE EFFORTS TO HAVE LEGALLY NOTARIZED

Please keep viewing (and bookmark us) - our fight for Justice is a long way from finished.

    Throughout this case, Gregory Wright and his attorneys battled against a series of false assumptions and downright lies. Some of these lies have been repeated and perpetuated by agents and representatives of the legal community whose duty is ensure truth and Justice. This site, in memory of Greg's innocence and fight for life, intends to set the record straight. Yes, we believe the Death Penalty to be wrong in principle, but our mission in exposing to the world the lies used against Greg, and those who relied upon them to kill an innocent man, is to show that whether you support or would abolish the death penalty, its management is so flawed as to be an affront to the human rights and laws of natural justice of innocent people. We would argue further, that it is unconstitutional. We will begin our exposure over the coming days, and for as long as it takes for an acknowledgment of the injustice done to Gregory Wright over a period of 11 years, and ending on October 30th, 2008. In doing so, we hope other innocent men and women, and their families, will be spared such injustice in the future. That is a legacy Greg would have approved of as he studied the Law to certificate level and beyond during the latter years of his incarceration.

Nov. 06    This website is undergoing minor revisions to reflect the events of Oct. 30th 2008, and the subsequent refocussing of our campaign.

The media news items below reflect the concern and disbelief that Texas and the US Supreme Court failed to accept and act upon the compelling and true evidence of Greg's INNOCENCE of any part in the crime committed against Donna Vick. Those parties involved should acknowledge their mistake and their shame.
