Just want to let you all know that I'm here doing this AMA to tell you about a project I strongly believe in called Final Words. It's a book project on Indiegogo that features the final statements from the 517 executed prisoners on Texas Death Row. I think it brings a much needed humanity to the debate on the death penalty. I can tell you from first hand experience that they really are humans on death row. Check out the project at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/final-words--2/x/7633482

First thing I did was a press conference. They were waiting right outside the gate because I was the 100th person exonerated. The very first thing I ate was a frozen burrito from a convenience store down the road from the prison. I couldn't even work the microwave to heat it up. My views on capital punishment absolutely changed. I used to believe that they got it right, but I found out that they get it wrong and they make deals with the worst of the worst. There are actually people on death row that didn't kill anybody but are there simply because they were with someone who killed somebody. As they say on death row, "First one to squeal gets the deal."

There wasn't a settlement. They didn't give me anything. I had to sue them and take it from them. I bought a nice farm to have my peace and quite and bought a Harley Davidson. And I went on a cruise!
