Information about Rob's Case

In December of 2000, at the age of 22, Robert Gene Will was charged with capital murder of a police officer. After a ridiculously unfair trial he was sentenced to death by a Harris County (Houston) judge and sent to death row. He is COMPLETELY INNOCENT and we are sure anyone who takes the time to look into the case will come to that same conclusion.

 Facts to consider:

  * Rob was handcuffed when the police officer was shot. The officer radio logs confirm this fact.

 

  * The real shooter, who is the son of a well-known and well-connected police officer, has confessed to

  the crime numerous times. There are at least five different people who have been told, in detail, by the

  real murderer, how he killed the police officer. Rob’s court appointed attorneys did not use these

  people in his trial in a manner that would have helped lead to the proof of his innocence.

 

  * Robert's gloves, hands, and clothes all tested negative for gun powder residue.

 

  * Shell casings from the murder weapon and flashlights found at the murder scene were all processed

  for prints. None matched Rob.

 

  * Harris County DA Chuck Rosenthal prosecuted Rob's case. (Rosenthal is a man who believes all

  homosexuals are criminals, and has argued as much in front of the Texas Supreme Court.) At Rob's

  trial, Rosenthal compared Rob with the 9/11 terrorists, saying, "What we know from September 11 is

  that evil exists in the world: it is embodied in Robert Gene Will.”

 

  * During the sentencing phase of Rob's trial, almost 100 uniformed police officers packed the courtroom

  in an effort to persuade the jury to award a death sentence.

 

  * Rob's appeal attorney was court-appointed and pro death penalty. He copied Rob's appeal word-for-

  word from that of Angel Maturino Resendiz, the train-hopping "Railroad Killer" from Mexico, changing

  only the men's names and legal histories. The lawyer admits he hired no outside investigators, but

  denies this indicates "lack of effort". Read an Austin American Statesman article about this appeal
