Same tone of voice. 27 00:04:27,458 --> 00:04:29,875 Nothing raised, nothing threatening. 28 00:04:30,917 --> 00:04:32,833 And that lured quietness. 29 00:04:32,917 --> 00:04:35,458 I did. I went to answer. I was like... 30 00:04:37,125 --> 00:04:39,375 Backhanded me right in the mouth. 31 00:04:40,083 --> 00:04:42,208 It stung like you wouldn’t believe. 32 00:04:42,292 --> 00:04:44,250 [prison gate closes] 33 00:04:45,542 --> 00:04:50,499 Then I was thrown into this world where there’s no sunlight, 34 00:04:50,583 --> 00:04:52,833 and it’s deadly silent. 35 00:05:00,458 --> 00:05:04,792 The Pennsylvania prison system was developed by the Quakers. 36 00:05:06,583 --> 00:05:10,833 The doors were cut low so you had to stoop and bow to go into them. 37 00:05:12,375 --> 00:05:15,333 While you were in the cell, you were meant not to communicate. 38 00:05:15,417 --> 00:05:17,958 It was part of your punishment. 39 00:05:19,250 --> 00:05:25,124 It was eerie because out of almost 140 men at the time in “B” Block, 40 00:05:25,208 --> 00:05:27,333 no one spoke. 41 00:05:27,417 --> 00:05:30,458 You’d hear them cough, or urinate and flush the toilet, 42 00:05:30,542 --> 00:05:32,542 but there was no real sound. 43 00:05:34,458 --> 00:05:36,166 That was the worst for me. 44 00:05:36,250 --> 00:05:39,000 Especially the first couple of months. 45 00:05:42,125 --> 00:05:44,916 You still can hear your mother crying at the trial. 46 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,291 You can still smell the aftershave on the witnesses, man. 47 00:05:49,375 --> 00:05:52,958 It’s just every little detail is just eating you alive 48 00:05:53,042 --> 00:05:55,249 because you’ve just been put here. 49 00:05:55,333 --> 00:05:58,541 The door was still ringing in your ears ’cause of the slam. 50 00:05:58,625 --> 00:06:01,667 You’re just left there and you’re like-- [inhales] 51 00:06:03,792 --> 00:06:08,083 Yet you don’t come to your door and talk to a neighbor 52 00:06:08,167 --> 00:06:10,708 ’cause if you broke the speaking rule, 53 00:06:10,792 --> 00:06:13,625 you were struck or beaten by the guards. 54 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,541 In level five, you were allowed to exercise 55 00:06:24,625 --> 00:06:27,166 in these dog kennel-like cages. 56 00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:30,083 Nineteen feet long, ten feet wide. 57 00:06:32,833 --> 00:06:37,375 You got an hour to exercise by yourself ’cause you’re a death-row prisoner. 58 00:06:37,917 --> 00:06:40,416 But the guards, being pricks, 59 00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:45,792 if you had a problem with another guy and they knew you were enemies, 60 00:06:46,583 --> 00:06:48,374 they’d put you in the cage together 61 00:06:48,458 --> 00:06:51,624 knowing that as soon as they’d walked off a few steps, 62 00:06:51,708 --> 00:06:53,624 you two are gonna go at it. 63 00:06:53,708 --> 00:06:58,208 If that didn’t work, they picked out two big guys and put them in together. 64 00:06:59,042 --> 00:07:00,917 And had some fun. 65 00:07:01,708 --> 00:07:04,124 Usually it was a white guy with a black guy, 66 00:07:04,208 --> 00:07:06,249 Spanish guy with a black guy, 67 00:07:06,333 --> 00:07:08,167 Spanish guy with a white guy. 68 00:07:09,792 --> 00:07:12,167 “Gladiatoring,” they called it. 69 00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:18,750 [metal squeaking, water running] 70 00:07:23,125 --> 00:07:26,292 The shower was the most vulnerable time. 71 00:07:27,250 --> 00:07:30,666 If you’re gonna get somebody, that’s the place to get them. 72 00:07:30,750 --> 00:07:36,000 You got access to them, there’s no handcuffs, and they’re naked. 73 00:07:41,583 --> 00:07:45,958 I had only been there a few days and I walked into the shower. 74 00:07:46,042 --> 00:07:49,166 Just as I turned the corner, there was a Puerto Rican boy, 75 00:07:49,250 --> 00:07:51,166 and he had sharpened the pork chop bone 76 00:07:51,250 --> 00:07:54,374 and then stabbed this man in the back of the liver with it. 77 00:07:54,458 --> 00:07:59,124 The guy started flopping, and then they just cut all the water off 78 00:07:59,208 --> 00:08:03,042 and just beat all six of us senseless and drug us back out of the shower. 79 00:08:08,583 --> 00:08:10,666 Then they served food. 80 00:08:10,750 --> 00:08:14,458 They got everything cleaned up and began serving lunch. 81 00:08:14,542 --> 00:08:17,083 It went on as a routine day. 82 00:08:17,167 --> 00:08:19,500 [men chattering] 83 00:08:21,542 --> 00:08:24,999 Two guys were arguing ’cause one guy didn’t get enough bread on his tray. 84 00:08:25,083 --> 00:08:27,208 I’m like, “This is crazy. 85 00:08:27,292 --> 00:08:30,708 You’re so whacked out of your mind that you’re gonna call to the guard, 86 00:08:30,792 --> 00:08:33,791 ‘Hey, man, I only got one slice of bread on my tray,’ 87 00:08:33,875 --> 00:08:36,375 when a human being just died.” 88 00:08:48,333 --> 00:08:52,667 I lived in silence for two whole years. 89 00:08:53,417 --> 00:08:55,250 The first two years. 90 00:08:56,750 --> 00:09:00,166 That’s when the drugs were discovered in the choir room, 91 00:09:00,250 --> 00:09:02,417 and everything changed. 92 00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:07,333 These prisoners from the choir were locked up with us 93 00:09:07,417 --> 00:09:09,917 in empty cells on death row. 94 00:09:10,917 --> 00:09:16,499 Because none of them were going to tell where the drugs came from, 95 00:09:16,583 --> 00:09:21,542 they were going to ship all of them to individual different prisons. 96 00:09:22,792 --> 00:09:26,292 To the other eight members of the choir, it really didn’t matter. 97 00:09:28,125 --> 00:09:31,041 But two of the men had a bond that was special. 98 00:09:31,125 --> 00:09:32,958 Wesley and Butch. 99 00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:38,791 Wesley was this fair-skinned, green-eyed, beautiful black guy 100 00:09:38,875 --> 00:09:42,708 who just exuded this eloquence and sweetness about him. 101 00:09:42,792 --> 00:09:44,667 Everyone liked him. 102 00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:49,583 He had a voice that was gravelly and wondrous. 103 00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:54,958 He had met Butch when they were children at a church in West Philadelphia 104 00:09:55,042 --> 00:09:57,458 where Butch was a foster child. 105 00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:00,999 Obviously, Wesley was gay, 106 00:10:01,083 --> 00:10:05,124 and they formed this bond that seemed to be invulnerable. 107 00:10:05,208 --> 00:10:06,999 And then, 108 00:10:07,083 --> 00:10:09,666 Butch began stealing and getting in trouble. 109 00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:12,666 He was arrested and thrown into county prison in Philadelphia. 110 00:10:12,750 --> 00:10:14,708 Wesley went nuts without him. 111 00:10:14,792 --> 00:10:17,458 He was the only thing in his life that protected him 112 00:10:17,542 --> 00:10:20,166 from the scorn of his parents, the bullies in the neighborhood, 113 00:10:20,250 --> 00:10:22,833 the people who knew he was weak without Butch. 114 00:10:23,833 --> 00:10:27,708 So he began committing deliberate crimes and getting arrested 115 00:10:27,792 --> 00:10:30,083 so that he could be with Butch. 116 00:10:30,167 --> 00:10:34,583 They found out prison is the one place they could be normal. 117 00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:38,208 They got themselves put into the same cell 118 00:10:38,292 --> 00:10:41,708 and, together in the setting of a prison, 119 00:10:41,792 --> 00:10:45,208 where homosexuality is an accepted form of expression 120 00:10:45,292 --> 00:10:47,374 or just life, 121 00:10:47,458 --> 00:10:49,250 no one bothered them. 122 00:10:51,208 --> 00:10:55,083 That’s when the drugs were discovered, and the guard on duty at nine o’clock 123 00:10:55,167 --> 00:10:57,333 started tormenting Wesley, 124 00:10:57,417 --> 00:11:01,458 “Hey, faggot, you’re going!

01:20:15,375 --> 01:20:17,833 When the letter was received by Judge Giles, 1176 01:20:17,917 --> 01:20:22,499 he ordered that my lawyers come to a conference hearing, 1177 01:20:22,583 --> 01:20:26,333 and he wanted to know why someone 1178 01:20:26,417 --> 01:20:29,499 who had been asking for DNA testing for 15 years, 1179 01:20:29,583 --> 01:20:33,667 claiming that they’re innocent, would now ask to be executed. 1180 01:20:34,125 --> 01:20:38,791 And he was really hard-pressed to get them to give up any answer, I guess, 1181 01:20:38,875 --> 01:20:41,083 because I didn’t copy them in on the letter. 1182 01:20:41,167 --> 01:20:43,333 They didn’t even know I wrote to the judge. 1183 01:20:43,417 --> 01:20:45,333 They were hearing this for the first time. 1184 01:20:45,417 --> 01:20:49,791 So the judge, by law, really was hamstrung in the fact 1185 01:20:49,875 --> 01:20:53,791 that he was gonna be required to transmit my record to the governor, 1186 01:20:53,875 --> 01:20:58,624 as law required, for me to be executed within 60 days from that point. 1187 01:20:58,708 --> 01:21:03,749 Instead he said, “All right, whatever DNA testing is remaining in this case, 1188 01:21:03,833 --> 01:21:06,208 I’m ordering it now tested.” 1189 01:21:06,292 --> 01:21:08,583 That was April. 1190 01:21:09,667 --> 01:21:13,375 April turned to May, May turned to June. 1191

call.” 1196 01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:32,499 So I dialed the number, 1197 01:21:32,583 --> 01:21:35,833 and I’m waiting for the collect phone call process to ring through, 1198 01:21:35,917 -->
