Hello, I guess first I would have to say that I am Pro DP. But, I do know that many people on death row, don't deserve to be there whether it be because they are innocent, or because their crime just did not warrant a death penalty. It has become very important to me to find a way that I could become involved in trying to help those that don't. In doing so I have run across some websites that I just can't seem to fit into. The first being PTO, with that site there seems to be an overwhelming feeling of denial of guilt, and encouragement to stick by your "man" no matter what. That is understandable I guess since it is a support site, nonetheless it did not help me in my quest. The next being the pro death penalty board. Although I found alot more people that felt the same way as me. I found that many of the people there just don't seem to care if someone is unjustly sentenced to death. I got the feeling , if they killed someone they must die for it. It's just not that black and white for me.
I am hoping that in CCADP I will find a place that I can learn from others with different view points as mine, as well as share my feelings without being attacked for not agreeing all the time. I'm not looking for any fights or personal attacks, just a place where healthy discussion could take place. Along the way I hope to find ways in which I could become involved in helping the people that don't belong on death row to be let off before it is too late for them.

have looked through the whole complete record - trial; police; interview; evidence transcripts, appeals, state responses to appeals; etc.... LOOKING for reasons to disbelieve his innocence and come to the innocence conclusion. In 2000 Arnold and Porter firm got involved looking for a case of actual innocence to do pro bono (free) and settled on the Dennis case. A pro death penalty person could definately through their whole support into getting this guy of death row; while Jimmy is against the DP for all; he has a personal frustration that ALL people - not just anti DP activists but regular pro DP citizens - are not screaming for this case to be looked at again. Cause someone walked free; and they truly do have an innocent guy.
