Mr. Wilson has been on death row at the KentuckyState Penitentiarysince October 31, 1988, following his conviction in Kenton Circuit Court for murder and other charges. Mr. Wilson is 62 years old and has spent literally half of his life on Kentucky'sdeath row, where he will undoubtedly die, one way or another. There is no issue of public safety involved, only a fair adjudication and a just resolution. As will be delineatedbelow, there are a multitude of reasons to commute his sentenceto life without parole, and no legitimate purposewill be served by seeking his execution. Fundamentalunfairness permeatedMr. Wilson'scapital prosecutionin Kenton County. From the start, the proceedingswere rife with legal error, malpractice,conflicts of interest, unprofessionalconduct and highly inappropriateacts by judicial officers. Abandonedby his assigned counseland left with unprepared,inept, unqualifiedvolunteer attorneys, his efforts to obtain qualified, prepared counselwere met with a mistakenconclusion that he wanted to represent himself.

So I had best make one thing clear. I am going to recount events differently than you may remember them. I will reach into the stream of memory and pull out this or that pebble that has been cast there by my fate. The pebbles when cast may have had jagged edges, now worn away by the stream. So I tell it as memory permits, and maybe not entirely as it was. This could be called lying, but more charitably it is simply what life gives to each of us as our memories of events are shaped in ways that give us smiles and help us to go on. I do not have transcripts of all the cases in the book, so I recall them as well as I can.
