Dear Mr. Brooks, I'm writing you again in the hope that the California Innocence Project
will reconsider my case. I know you hear from a lot of people. But maybe if you got to know me,
you might reconsider. Let me state clearly and unequivocally
I am innocent. I spent six years in prison
and the past three on parole for a sex offense that I did not commit. I wrote you two years ago from CMC
and you turned me down. But I don't stay down. Not for long. I learned that in prison,
and I learned it growing up, too. You see, I played a lot of football
when I was young. And it wasn't all ice cream
and pizza parties. No, sir. I had a different walk home. Life in Long Beach was for real and it was hard to see a way out
will reconsider my case. I know you hear from a lot of people. But maybe if you got to know me,
you might reconsider. Let me state clearly and unequivocally
