Finding Angel(a) in the Midst of Injustice: The Story of GRAILAND FIELDS


THE STATE OF TEXAS NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR 3-4 DECADES OF CORRUPTIONS 


Introduction:

In life, unexpected moments and encounters can have a profound impact on our lives. This is the story of a man, serving an 80-year sentence for a crime he claims he did not commit. In his search for justice, he stumbles upon an Angel(a) named Angela T. Smith, who brings hope and collaboration into his life.


The Journey:

Our unnamed protagonist takes us back to the year 1993 when he, along with four others, was initially charged with murder and attempted murder. Amidst the chaos and overwhelming evidence, the group managed to beat the charges for insufficient evidence. However, their respite was short-lived as they found themselves reindicted a month later. 


The protagonist, moving forward with his life, found himself charged with another murder and attempted murder, though he managed to beat these charges as well. Unfortunately, his freedom was short-lived as he faced new charges. Slowly, our protagonist saw his life slipping away, entangled in a web of injustices.


A Ray of Hope:

In 2009, the protagonist received a sworn affidavit from the sole witness who testified against him, recanting his trial testimony. This revelation gave our protagonist a glimmer of hope and inspired him to seek justice. Eventually, he found himself in the hands of Cornell Jackie Drummer, a fellow inmate the understands and knows the law.


The Struggle for Justice:

The journey to justice is never easy, and the protagonist faced numerous obstacles along the way. The first attorney assigned to his case made a critical mistake, casting doubt on the witness's willingness to stand by his recanted testimony. Realizing the attorney was not fully committed to his cause, our protagonist made the difficult decision to part ways and took matters into his own hands.


In November 2014, armed with determination and a thirst for justice, our protagonist filed his own writ of Habeas Corpus. The filing paid off, as he was granted an evidentiary hearing in January 2017. However, the sole witness, now scared and intimidated, pleaded the fifth amendment, leaving the case in a state of limbo.


Breaking the Chains:

Despite the setbacks, our protagonist remains undeterred. Many are aware of the gross violations of his constitutional rights. This man's story is a testament to the endurance of the human spirit and the unwavering fight for justice.


Conclusion:

In the darkest moments of our lives, unexpected encounters can bring about glimmers of hope. Angela T. Smith, the Queen of Collaborations, became an Angel(a) in the life of our protagonist. Through her interest and involvement in his story, she shed light on his plight and reignited his hope for justice.


This story serves as a reminder that we should never forget to entertain strangers, for they may turn out to be angels in disguise. As we advocate for reform and fair treatment within the criminal justice system, let us remember those who are imprisoned and mistreated, as if we ourselves were suffering.


The journey towards justice may be long and arduous, but with the support of compassionate individuals like Angela T. Smith, we can create a world where the innocent are exonerated, and justice is served. May this story inspire us all to be the angels in someone's life, providing hope, collaboration, and unwavering support in their pursuit of freedom and justice.
