My first chance My name is Donald L. Aldrich; I've been here on Texas death row since 10. August 1994. I'm hoping now to raise some money for a legal defence as I've had court appointed attorneys from my trail until now. All of which have only done the bare minimum they have had to do on all they have done. At trail my lawyer's main and favorite statement was, "we have no questions at this time your honor". They put on no defence, and during the sentencing part of my trail did not put on evidence which would have gotten me a life sentence instead of a death sentence, mitigating evidence its called. As well as evidence during the guilt or innocence part of the trail that could have gotten me found not guilty of capital murder, but guilty of a lesser offence. See I'm not totally innocent, I was part of a crime that ended in the death of a young man, but did not play a part in his death as the District Attorney said. Even my partner who took the life, in his confession cleared me of the murder, but this was kept from my j ury, as well as other things to prove my innocence in his death. 3 juriors talking to a couple law students told them when asked they had no choice but to find me guilty and sentence me to death as the defence put on no defence, all they had to go on was what the District Attorney said and follow his lead on it all. My co-counsel from my trail did my direct appeal, now this was a lawyer from my trail, on my direct appeal he filed 37 points of error, of those 37, 29 points of error were not properly presented for review. A small wonder my direct appeal was denied. My current lawyer, Robin Norris, who's done my last 2 appeals, said while trying to help get or save the life of Napoleon Baezley that when he did his appeal in 1996/1997 he had too many appeals to do, to do a proper job on it. In effect doing an ineffective job on his appeal, he did my state habeas at the same time, so could not do a proper job on mine then either. On a current appeal in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals my lawyer since 1996 put my TDCJ-ID No. as 999154, which is not my number, mine is 999113. A friends of mine got a private investigator to look into my case, with the help of a lawyer they found out my lawyer has not filed things he should have by now on all of it. Now this private investigator, Tina Church, is looking into things none of my lawyers have they should have, to try and save my life before its too late. I hope with help of caring people to raise money for a legal defence fund to cover their costs in all they do to help me in my fight to save my life. My thanks to all who are able to help in this matter and do. Sincerely Donald L. Aldrich # 999113 Please contact me, if you feel to do a part in saving his life, the smallest donation is the biggest help.
