How weird a concept time is. I feel I just prepared the last newsletter and now I am way behind again. At the same time I can’t remember time ever moving this slow.
James got a trial date now, August 30th – hope the state come to their senses before that, and just let him come home.
I am sorry about not being “all there” – I am way behind with mail and I have no excuse but to say I am so on the edge and focused on James that I have little room for much else.
I can tell you though, that I get messages from people who spend time with Johnny Melendez, who wants to make sure that I pass on what he is doing so you all know he has not forgotten.
On page 7 and 8 you can read about his work to help you all - You are constantly on his mind and his entire life evolves around telling people about your situation.
I also heard from Rudolph Holton who is about to come home after this “second time around”, he is asking me to tell you all hello, and that he is determined to do better this time.
Another good thing! Jeffery Weaver had his sentence overturned and is no longer on death row - he got a life sentence instead.
Gregory Capehart also wrote to let you know that he finally after 18 years got approved to get a DNA test, he got a new trial and has a pre-trial in late June!
So, good things are happening – Thank God.
Speaking of good things.
Over the past few months I have received some letters in regards to color TV’s on death row. So…...I contacted Secretary Crosby and told him about your request, and the results is that color TV’s will be available to you too!

Not over night, so please be patient, policies have to be changed and these things can take a little time. But…..Color TV’s will be available to death row.?
And here is a little reminder to all about how blessed we are in regards to visitation, and how we have to be so very careful not to break rules and do our own thing.
I just came back from St. Petersburg and the Pinellas county jail.
After driving hundreds of miles I got to visit 30 minutes- yes- thirty minutes. And not even behind glass - no, James was in a different building and the visit was on video.
So please all, count the blessings you have and make sure to keep them. ------
The antenna situation is still being worked on at FSP. As I have told some of you there, we got a donation from an organization in Europe to help out with that, but there seem to be different views on whether it is still a need. If you will, please try and contact the warden again and explain the situation, it looks like someone has passed on some incorrect information.
Before I close this of I would like to thank all of you who have written with good wishes and prayers. I am passing on every single one to James (Ali).
Take care, stay hopeful and know that Gods loves you.

PS. Be sure to read Abe’s message closely, and make sure to respond. The greater the interest the bigger the chance for it to happen. Looks to me like an offer you can’t refuse.
Book drawing postponed this month,
Too much work and too little time, we will do those extra books next month and your submissions are saved and will be in the July Drawing. Sorry about that!
