Dear
William Thomas Zeigler has been on Florida’s death row for over 31 years. It has been well established by testimony and DNA that he was the victim of a frame up and was wrongfully convicted. I have enclosed an attachment which lists several specific issues that need to be investigated as well as a brief description of the overall setting in which the crime and frame up occurred.
I believe you have the influence to call for an investigation of the crime in Winter Garden for which Mr. Zeigler was wrongfully convicted. Mr. Zeigler has had several appeals denied, most recently an appeal based on the DNA that showed the prosecution was wrong in its claims about whose blood was on Zeigler's clothes and on the clothes of another man who Zeigler has always claimed was one of the two or more men who killed his wife and her parents, and shot Zeigler in the abdomen. After 31 years it is clear that the courts are not going to grant Mr. Zeigler a new trial.
I realize this is a highly sensitive issue and that you will be very reluctant to get involved, but the people who are responsible for the murders are still at large while Mr. Zeigler has had his life destroyed. Proof that he was framed was actually demonstrated by the writer who investigated the case in 1991 and wrote a book, Fatal Flaw, about it. Of course, the courts don't act on the basis of proof in books. I am hoping that you will.
Please go to the web site www.FREETOMMYZ.com for a complete run down on the facts. The book I mentioned is by Philip Finch and is available on line. The link to it is on the web site. Please read the section on the Nolan’s testimony beginning on page 284.
My only interest in the case is that of a person who believes that justice has not been served and that citizens must act when the courts will not.
Sincerely yours,
|
