I just recently met Calvin in the parish jail when his cousin and I went for
a visit. On my first meeting him I had already heard the stories of what had
happened. While we talked he told me what had happened in his own words. In
my opinion if a person is guilty he/ she will most likely not tell a
stranger why he/ she is in jail. Since then I've visited again and followed
the trial.  The Defense did not seem prepared or even to care for that
matter.  I believe that Calvin is a good person and was wrongfully sentenced
to life. Calvin needs a new trial with a better attorney.
