Since the media, especially in Texas are more concerned with “Institutional Protectionism ” e.g. Police Department, the only way to get the truth out regarding Arthur’s trial and Punishment Phase was to address it on his website!
NOW FOR THE TRUTH!....
"In the Halls of Justice, Justice wasn't even in the building"
Arthur accidentally killed an undercover "Off Duty Cop', who only didn't identify himself, nor did he follow is own "Departmental " procedures. Unfortunately, for Arthur, he ended up being incarcerated mainly because of his reactions to this "Off Duty Cop" decisions.
Important to review video to see Arthur explain in his own words; along with his lawyer that was retained at this time!
Ar
Arthur L Williams, was convicted of Capital Murder in 1982, following the death of Houston Detective Daryl W. Shirley. To achieve this conviction the Prosecuting Attorney's Office, along with Houston Police Department, wanted to make sure, at any COST, that a guilty verdict of "Capital Murder" was enacted along with the help of "Media" who FAILED to include pertinent details, one being Detective Shirley did have some fault in his OWN DEATH. IT WORKED!
1 - The final legal consideration in Texas vs. Arthur Lee Williams II was an order to either commute his sentence to Life in Prison (with the possibility of parole) or conduct a new trial to determine punishment. A new trial could have re-imposed the Death Sentence or made Arthur immediately eligible for parole. Arthur was persuaded to forego a trial accept an alternative sentence with harsh conditions, life plus a consecutive 60 years. This most recent result in Arthur's case is Constitutionally questionable.
2 -Is it not "Cruel and Unusual Punishment" to compel a man to waive 36 years of time served on Death Row, in return for a Life Sentence that provides NO credit for time already served?
3 - Is it also not questionable to require someone to waive the Statute of Limitations on a nearly 40 year old UNTRIED case in another state and plead guilty to a charge of robbery in order to receive a consecutive sentence of 60 years that only begins after serving a minimum of twenty years for the Life Sentence!
4 - AT NO TIME WAS ARTHUR'S MENTAL STATE ADDRESSED EITHER BY HIS COURT APPOINTED ATTORNEY, NOR THE JUDGE WHO WAS ASSIGNED TO HIS CASE!!!!!!
The media has NEVER asked Arthur, his family or friends, THEIR opinion, we think it is about time the TRUTH TO BE FINALLY TOLD. Study: Texas’ ‘Harsh and Inhumane’ Death-Row Conditions Amount to ‘Torture’ Posted on Apr 27, 2017
“This prolonged solitary confinement has overwhelmingly negative effects on inmates’ mental health,” the study reports, “exacerbating existing mental health conditions and causing many prisoners to develop mental illness for the first time.”
