Uncensored By Clinton Young
Loud and Clear!

Greeting to everyone out there! It is everyone's favorite trouble maker. Clinton Young! I got a lot to say about a lot. So get ready, this will be a long article. Might even piss some people off. But it is the truth, as I know it to be. So nothin' better to be told if you ask me.
Well some of you know that I recently attended a hearing on my State Writ of Habeas Corpus, or as Runaway Chuck called it, THE GREAT WRIT. Yes, it is supposed to be great, as it is the "live or die" writ. Well I go back to Midland County thinking me & my lawyer are going to clown the prosecutors.
Boy, was I a fool! Short and sweet. It was discovered that my investigator Lisa Milstein was smoking the drug crack cocaine with a witness. That witness was my brother. See Mywesttexas.com early March, to read the articles.
Well my whole writ was based around the statements that the investigator, Lisa Milstein filed. After talking to each witness, it was discovered that Lisa falsified every statement. Meaning, my whole write was trash & had no merit!! Meaning, I die!
Now there was plenty that could have been raised, that wasn't. I have found out that she has lied in statements before. The worst thing about all of this is the fact that the lawyers knew this. They even stated that they knew she was having emotional & mental problems. Yet they let her work on one more case. Guess who's case that was? That's right, MINE!!!!!! They had my case for two years & done all the work in the last three weeks. My lawyer made no effort to confirm any of the statements or reports given. So basically it is as if I never filed a state writ.
Though the courts say it still counts, as there is no constitutional protection over the state writ. So a lawyer can do whatever he wants to do & will not get in trouble for it. My lawyer was Gary Taylor. I remember one time he wrote me talking about he had been on vacation. While he was on vacation, one of his clients became another statistic in Texas! There is a lot more to it, but it will be shined on in the courts before it hits the net.
I bet a few of the pro death folks out there are licking at the lips. What was the guys name over Citizens for Swift Justice, that wrote me? I forget, but I bet he is happy. As by law, I am bound to die, and wouldn't stand a chance.
BUT, there is a but. You see, I am smarter than the average bear. I got a strong will to live. I don't trust many people as well. I damn sure do not trust the pawns of this satanic mafia of a judicial system, that makes up Texas. Soooooooooo, I wrote the judge and made several complaints. I filed a complaint with the bar association. I filed certified letters w/copies to Gary Taylor, the lawyer. I wrote the judge pro-se telling him what I wanted filed. I did this with every issue I could. It spanned a period of about 7 or 8 letters to the court. I begged the judge to get me a new lawyer. I told the courts what needed to be tested to show that I am innocent.
So at the hearing, the judge allowed my pro-se issues to be argued. Which effectively put them in the record as preserved. It even let us put in a copy of a letter that I sent to Gary Taylor, on telling him what to raise in my writ.
Now here is where it gets good. The judge wouldn't pay for a ballistic expert, so thanks to some wonderful support people throughout the world that have donated money to my defense fund, I was able to pay for the expert myself...And what do you know? The expert stated in his report, not that I didn't kill the guy, BUT THAT I COULD NOT HAVE KILLED HIM!!!!! That's right. It states that my co-defendents have to be lying as I could not have fired the shots.
Ladies & gentlemen, it has been a long since I cried. But when I got that phone call from my lawyer last Monday on the third of April & he read me the report, after the phone call was over, the tears came. This report shows that the state's theory is incorrect & that it had to be my co-defendent that shot the guy. That is for the first murder in my case.
The second one, he was the only witness to the case & he failed a lie detector test on that murder & just by looking at his statements it is easy to see that he was the shooter. He changed the most critical parts of his statement while on the stand. When asked why he done this, he replied, "because the DA's investigator told him to!"
Now I am not walking out the door yet. Far from it. I still might die, as the courts are getting worse & worse, but I will get into that later.
These reports open the door for me to get a few other items tested, which will only give more weight to the ballistic expert's finding. So if I would have not been such a hard headed guy & was passive & just did what people told me to do, I would be dead, dead, dead for sure. The courts will not pay for anymore tests, so I have to raise the money myself, to pay for them. That's the hard part, but hopefully it will get easier.
Now I have been talking to two other guys here. One of them showed me his legal work. The dude is innocent! All the way around. So is another here. Well we are in the middle of talks of doing a tag team approach. Just gather up all we can & show the world, how COMMON it is for an innocent man to be on death row in Texas.
But let's also focus on the new Patriot Act. George bush made it possible for the Attorney General to put states on a fast track appeal process. Meaning that the AG can approve Texas for a faster appeal in Federal courts to help slaughter people a lot faster.
Now let's move on down from Washington D.C to Dallas/Fort worth area. Please see http://www.star-telegram.com for an April 12, 2006 on Steven Staley. A lot of you might remember when Richard Cartwright wrote about him. He was on death watch with him. He came within 5 hours of being killed by the state. Well he got a stay.
Well a judge has just ruled that he can be forcibly given medication so that he can be competent to be slaughtered. WHAT THE marshmellow??????? The dude is crazy!! The law says that the death penalty is not supposed to be for people like this.....They let off the mentally retarded. A guy with an IQ lower than 70! This dude doesn't even grasp where the hell he is, so they say, "well hold him down & shoot him up with some drugs that will make him Momentarily aware & then kill him before they wear off!!!
Then I get told about another guys case, here. He is days from getting killed & a statement is found in the DA's office about the guys co-defendent admitting to being the killer. Yet the DA still let the guy lie on the stand and say that it was the guy here on the row that done it. When really he wasn't even there.
Now the 5th circuit just ruled that the guy could be executed. NOT because he done it, but because he is procedurally barred!!! marshmellow that he is innocent. He is going to be slaughtered because a marshmellowing time line was not met. He wasn't even there. Can prove that if given a new trial, he wouldn't even be indicted. He would walk out onto the streets. WAS NOT EVEN THERE!!! Yet he is going to die! When is this shit going to stop???????
When people get off their ass & do something about it. Sitting around talking & gossiping about b/s & writing isn't going to solve anything. Me sitting here complaining about these pigs slamming a gate or serving a cold tray , what is it going to do?
People need to unite and raise hell.
I am very thankful for the people I got on my team. Some that read this are aware of S.A.I.L But not fully. S.A.I.L is set up to be something that has never been done before. ACTION not voice.
Do you think the blacks would have it as they do today if Martin Luther King just sat in his room complaining about what was wrong? Hell No. What would India be like if Gandhi wouldn't have took it to the streets. What if he just sat under a tree writing about how wrong it is.
Okay, we all know how corrupt the system is in Texas. Now what are you all going to do about it??? Has everyone figured out that these on line complaints do not help anything. NO judge, NO prosecutor, NO governor listens to them nor do they even look at them.
Pick up the phone!!! REFORM THROUGH RESISTANCE is the key. A silent voice never get heard. Just like here on the row. You know why we got it so bad? Because complacent people sit on their ass & do nothing.
I give mad props to Kenneth Foster & company for their efforts. They decided to take action, just as I have & Steven Woods has & Paul & Richard did. But it is always a small amount of people. So it doesn't add up to nothing.
A prime example, someone was able to get an interview with the powers that be, about us not getting proper access to ministers at visitation & so forth. You know what T.D.C.J said? They told the lady, "We understand & we see your point is valid, but there is nothing we can do because THEY aren't complaining.
Now some will say that they do. But not enough does. Just like us being in this environment. People complain that it makes us go crazy & is cruel & unusual. You know what T.D.C.J say? They say, "we need a psychologist around every 90 days, they report no complaints." Now a few do, but only a small amount.
I have personally seen guys refuse to talk to the psych doctor's when they come around. That gives them nothing to complain about. So that says that all are okay with being housed in these cages for long term.
We are our worst enemies. Everyone needs to get off of their ass and do something! I can say that as I have done it. But I am now a level 1. I have done a lot of thinking. I did a whole lot of it in the county jail while my writ was being destroyed by the prosecution. I came to the conclusion that I am killing myself, trying to stand up for others who do nothing.
So now I will channel my energy into saving myself & those that are like minded as I. Those that DO something about it!
I myself, do not like being in a cage for 23 hours a day. I do not like waiting to die. I want to live. I will not set by and die for something I didn't do, not quietly that is.
If someone chooses to lie down, then I will not stop them. But there are a few of us, who choose to stand and fight.
Fight does not mean violence. It means resistance. If all we do is complain about the way a guard looked at us, what will that solve? We need to all focus on the system. The courts. I am through with all the frivolous bullshit. I will NO LONGER waste my time writing about life in here. As that takes away time that I could be focusing on my life out there!
I applaud those that do what they do, but those that do nothing, are part of the problem. This will be the last time that I write an article for Uncensored.
I am starting my own site. It will be called loud and clear. As that is how I want to be heard, loud and clear! It will be about the facts.
I am at the point to where I do not care what these guards do to people, as long as they leave me and those I associate with alone. Now a lot of people complain about that kind of thinking. But they are the ones that do nothing. They complain cause they got to smell some pepper spray!!
I have read where people have openly complained about the DRIVE movement here on the row. That was Kenneth Foster and them. Foster had a reversal and he still was going to the front line. That is sacrifice! And some coward that wants to sit on his ass & eat ice cream wants to help the pigs by talking shit about him and those with him, tactics. So yeah, I am through.
Plus I am tired of feeding a morbid curiosity of what it is like to for us each day. That will in no way save my life or anyone's. It will not change nothing. I WANT TO LIVE!! I want to do so comfortably in my own house.
I speak the truth. If it makes anyone mad, then that just shows that I am right. I want to see my comrades live. Steven Woods is in the Federal courts already. Case based on what? A whole lot of bullshit!!!!
I can name at least 8 people here including myself, that I have reviewed their cases & have knowledge of, that are innocent! That is just the ones that I associate with & have similar issues in our cases.
So now I am going to start the real fight. The fight to live. The fight to get more attention on THESE PEOPLE'S LIVES, before they are stolen.
Richard Cartwright DEAD. Cameron Willingham DEAD. Both innocent. Ruben Cantu DEAD. (1993) I am not trying to be added to that list!
A person can do as they please. I am a grown man, I can do as I wish to. I am just stating my opinion, based on my experience & knowledge.
Don't get me wrong, I am not laying it down. I don't give a damn if I was a day from going back to court, if it comes time to rock & roll, I will do so. Level 3 still is the same as level one to me. Hell, I can't even get a radio. I have to get a blue slip approved to get one. Property says they approved it. Commissary says they don't have it.
I AM MAD! I am mad because I was almost in a sealed casket. I am mad because of all the bullshit. BUT I am going to channel my anger in a productive manner. I just wanted to share one last rambling with all you Uncensored readers.
The ballistic report will be posted on my S.A.I.L site and maybe on this site. This article is solely my opinions and in no way should influence any readers opinion of any other writer for Uncensored.
I also want to thank SUZANNE & RICHARD for giving me this chance. It was fun. I just got to redirect my energy.
If you all sat in a court room & watched your only chances & life just being ripped away, because of another's stupidity & there is nothing you can do, it affects you. I am here to tell you, it affects you in a very bad way. I can't even begin to describe the rage in me. I am at the point to where if even a guard asks me a question without me first talking to them, I get mad.
The grim reaper was tapping on my shoulder but thanks to all the donations that was sent in to help me, he had to take a step back.
He is still reaching for me, so I am not free yet. But I use his presence to motivate me. I use the pain to fuel the fire.
My mother set through the hearing as did Janice and Paddy. Though they left before it went bad on us. But my mom was sitting through it and got to watch all my chances just fade away. It appeared that she aged 10 years in two days!
Though my supporters and other like minded people stepped to the plate. They saved my life. Unity & organized effort done it. It isn't over yet, but we all got motivation to fight harder now. They may kill me, but they will hear me Loud and Clear!

Stand Strong, stand tall, Fade it all.
Unity is the key to success.
Use the pain to fuel the fire.
VENI, VIDI, VICI (For those that don't know what that means, it means " I came, I saw, I conquered.")
With Unity strengthened by solidarity.

I Remain,
Clinton Young

P.S. I will do a guest appearance from time to time for Uncensored but will no longer be a base writer. I do wish to thank all for their attention & support. To all my supporters out there, THANK YOU!! I owe you all one!!!

If there is anyone out there looking for someone to write to, as well as help out with needs to make the days go by.
I am currently next to a guy that has been here for 30 years and locked up for 32. He has lost the majority of the friends & family that he knew. He suffers from long term mental illness. His name is RAYMOND G. RILES #000541. Anyone willing to write him & help offer support & help to brighten his days. I would really appreciate it. Well I just wanted to throw that in there. I meant to intertwine it in my article, but forgot.
Take care. Thanks to all that write to Raymond.
