First, I would like to give praise to God for the love and grace that he has allowed for all of this to come together.

I would like to thank and ask blessings for all of the men who are imprisoned and have shared in my struggle and have allowed me to help them.

I would like to thank my family for their blessings and for sharing my struggle and having been there for me and endured this with me.

I would like to thank the Chaplain and all the rest who have offered their prayers.

Until we meet again, amen.

Eddie Johnson #898; June 17, 1997

I would like to say to the Magee family and the Cadena family that I was friends with David and Virginia and I did not commit this offense.

I have tried to do something to compensate the families by writing a book. I would like for the proceeds to go to the Magee family and the Cadena family.

There is someone who will be contacting them or they can get in touch with my attorney.

I would like to thank you for standing by me and loving me and convey my best to my sunshine, my butterfly, my sunbird.

Goodbye, sun, I love you.

David Stoker #892; June 16, 1997

I have a statement prepared that I have given to the Chaplain that I want released to the media.

I am ready, Warden...

I want to thank my friends in this place, that have supported me all of the years while here. It has been one hell of an ordeal. So, Animal, Ricky Don, Carl, Billy, Roy and all of you, that were and are my friends; thank you.

I want to thank my penpals for all their support. It has meant a lot to me to have you believe in me. Jo, Sheila, Trude, Jezz, Ursula, Patricia, Annelisa. Thank you. You made my life in here worth living.

To my family and friends at home. I am sorry for the pain that my death has caused you. I thank you for sticking by me all these years and for the love. I could not have had better family or friends. Remain Strong and seek Peace. I love you all.

To my lawyers, Steve, Kenn and all that have worked on my case. I could not have asked for better lawyers. I know you have done everything you could, and I should have gotten a reversal. Don't feel bad. You have done a good job! It is just the Courts. I thank you and count you as friends of mine. Remain strong and continue to fight.

To the victims family. I am truly sorry for your loss...but I didn't kill anyone. The D.A. knows this... I do wish you peace and comfort.

Now as for my death. Killing me will not solve anything. The taking of life is never right. I am innocent of muder. I proved this in the Court of Appeals. This just shows that there is no Justice any more in this once great land. People need to please wake up!

Let's Rock-n-Roll...

The End,

David Stoker
