My friend Clinton Young is currently residing at the Polunsky Unit (Death Row) in Livingston, Texas. He is convicted of a capitol offense that he did not commit. Just recently the state of Texas had to release 28 young men off death row when the federal courts ruled that it was unconstitutional to execute a minor.
Clinton missed this opportunity to have his life spared by a mere 4 months! The crime he is accused of committing occurred only 4 months after his 18th birthday. Now he languishes on death row with the rest of the adult men who were not so lucky to get a reprieve from their death sentences. I am asking you to open your heart and minds to the plight of this young man who is facing the fight for his own life. He lives daily with mental and sometimes physical torture at the hands of the Texas prison system. He cannot afford an attorney so has to depend on the state appointed attorney for his appeals process. Now the state of Texas doesn
I have been reading through all the messages coming in and honestly it is overwhelming how many people see the injustice here. Clinton is still stuck in that cell waiting for a fair chance while I keep trying to get the right eyes on these documents because the silence from the authorities is just deafening.

The state needs to look closer at this case. 4 months is nothing. He deserves a fair shot at life.
