Hi, I'm Arthur...

Hi, I'm Arthur. I'm a Clevelander, a member of a large close-knit family, a graduate of East Tech, and I'm living a Locked-Up Life.

I am serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole, despite grave doubt and serious unfairness associated with my case. This is after already serving 32 years on Ohio's Death Row. 

When I faced the Parole Board to request clemency, the 11 members unanimously agreed that I should not only receive clemency from the death penalty, but that I should be given an option for release. Governor Kasich did not follow the unprecedented recommendation of his board. Instead, he gave me LWOP which leaves me wondering, "where's the justice in that?!"

Here I'll post my thoughts and activities as I try to make the most of a terrible situation AND continue to struggle for my release.  You can find me on Facebook and visit my website to learn more about me and to support the cause.
