Dear friend:
I am writing you on behalf of Clinton Lee Young an innocent man on Texas death row. Clinton has
been on death row since he was 19 years old. He was arrested at the age of 18 for capital murder.
Clinton is innocent of these crimes and the county in which he was arrested; Midland County,
completely corrupted the investigation of Clint's case which you will see.
We desperately need help for Clinton now. We do not want to wait until Clinton is given an execution
date and it is too late. Do we really want to see another innocent man be murdered by the State he
lives in and trusted for a crime that he didn't even commit? What is America based on? Is it
based on false convictions and injustice or is it based on justice? Would our founding fathers want
us to ignore this precious cause in which is an innocent human life? In the nearly 9 years Clinton
has been on death row, we have tried numerous times to get Amnesty to pick up his case as well as
several other organizations. We have absolutely nothing to hide although the state of Texas and
Midland county does. Every bit of legal paperwork is on Clinton's website;saveaninnocentlife.com
for the public to see. We don't know why organizations pick up certain cases and don't pick up
others, but we have valid proof of Clint's innocence and any normal human being after examining
Clint's case will see that.
Clinton has maintained his innocence since the very beginning, not only that he has helped numerous
friends to get through very tough times and trauma. He has a special interest in helping children
and has donated to an organization called Smile Train as well as helped numerous others. Clinton
has one of the biggest hearts of any human I have ever met and has lived a very hard life but
despite that he smiles and worries more about others even then himself. Clinton sits in a cage 23
hours per day. The only human contact he gets is guards cuffing/uncuffing him. He does not get
contact visits, he does not get phone calls. All he gets is letters, but your letter will mean the
world to him. Despite this, he has planned an entire justice rally to fight against racism,
injustice and corruption. He planned this rally through a supporter but he did most of the planning
for this.
Let me just tell you some facts of Clinton's case. These no where near cover the entire case, these
are just some details you may find interesting.
-Clinton was only 18 years old at the time of the murder(s)-There was NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE LINKING
CLINTON TO THE CRIMES, THE ONLY EVIDENCE WAS THE FALSE TESTIMONY OF HIS CO-DEFENDANTS.
-Clinton was one of 4 defendant's. He was the youngest one, and had only known his co-defendant's
for a few months before the crime occured. The other co-defendant's had known each other for years.
-One of Clint's co-defendant's served NO time, one served a short sentance, one is serving the rest
of a 30 year sentance.
-All of Clinton's co-defendant's were given secret deals in exchange for false testimony against
Clinton. (Clinton was the youngest and easiest target for Midland county)-Before Clinton had been
tried or found guilty and while Mark Ray (co-defendant) was still being charged with murder, Mark
Ray and his parents were walked across the street from the courthouse to a cafe and fed lunch by the
district Attorney for Midland county. At this time, it had not been determined that Mark Ray was
innocent of murder, nor had Clint been found guilty. Mark Ray was at this time offered a secret
plea deal in exchange for testimony against Clinton. *This in itself violates Clinton's
constitutional rights.* Mark Ray has testified to this under oath, as has his parents, Mark Ray has
also testified under oath about the secret plea deals that were given to him.
-Though Davis Lee Page denies a secret plea deal, surprisingly David Lee Page's attorney admitted
under oath that there were SECRET plea deals given to him in exchange for testimony against Clint.
-Clinton's co-defendant, David Lee Page, failed a polygraph test when asked questions whether he
was directly involved or had committed the murder, when ask why he had failed, David Page said that
he did know why he had failed (This polygraph test is available on Clint's website as are other
crucial documents.)
-Ballistics reports have determined that Clinton could have in no way committed either murder.-There
was no physical evidence linking Clinton to either murder or any crime.
-The inside of the gloves found were not even tested, if they were, they would show David Page's
DNA.
-There have been numerous inmates incarcerate with David Lee Page who have stated that Mr. Page
admitted and bragged about having committed the murders.
-David Lee Page's Attorney admitted having been offered a secret plea deal, although Page denies
such deal. This is more than likely because Page is still incarcerated.
-There was NO fingerprints belonging to Clinton in the entire case investigation except for on a
cigarette butt, though Clinton had entered the car dozens of times before the crime.
-When Clinton was arrested in the "police chase," clinton knew he was being arrested, though he did
not know he was being arrested for murder.
These facts do not even begin to cover the corruption in Clinton’s case. I do not want to overwhelm
you. All documents related to Clinton’s case are on his website: saveaninnocentlife.com for the
public to see.
We need your assistance in bringing justice to this case. Please don’t let Clinton become another
innocent victim.
