The first time I heard of William Van Poyck was this morning. He had a gift for writing and gave me insight into the mind of someone who knows about what it is like to be facing death.

After reading your earlier post, I came across this article about your friend:

The Framing of Joe Burrows : The Story That Sent Him to Death Row for Murder Changed Many Times From the Day It Was Told By His Accuser, a Woman Known for Her Convincing Lies. But the Justic System Had Decided He Was Guilty, and It Took a Lawyer's Bond With a Sociopath to Set Him Free.

It reads like a novel!
