Crandell "Ojore" McKinnon (CDCR #P-32800) is an innocent man on San Quentin's death row ( California). He has been imprisoned since 1999 for two murders he did not commit. For the past 21 years he has been DENIED state habeas corpus, a violation of California Law and his right to counsel.



There are several facts that prove his innocence and there is documented evidence for each fact below:



1) The prosecutor intentionally used perjured testimony against Crandell McKinnon



2) The prosecutor paid some witnesses to testify.



3)The prosecutor and police intimidated, threatened and coerced witnesses.



4) Police intentionally destroyed key evidence; including but not limited to investigation notes, witness reports and physical evidence.



5) Police intentionally commited perjury during testimony.



6) Lead detective testified against Crandell McKinnon while under an "Internal Affairs Investigation"; and was subsequently "terminated" from the department for "CORRUPTION".



7) The Banning Police Department has, at least twice, faced " Racial Discrimination Suits" by African American officers.



8) No physical or scientific evidence linking Crandell McKinnon to either homicide.



9) Eyewitness identified suspect of another race.

10) Negligence and ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to investigate evidence of previous suspects, call eyewitnesses and alibi witnesses.

Please take the time to look at his case and sign this petition. Help Ojore, his family, his friends and supporters to get Governor Newsom's attention.



Thank You!

This case clearly needs to be reopen and Mr. McKinnon needs to be released until proven guilty. The facts of the case are straight up negligence on behalf of the police and judicial system. This would never happen in Australia

Crandell Ojore McKinnon is working hard along with loyal support to change the unjust perversion of laws used against him. No one deserves the death sentence from a justice system, as justice is always to be tempered with mercy. He is a good published poet also.

This man who obviously was falsely accused, wrongfully charged and wrongfully convicted is deserving of having the governor of California Newsom study this wrongfully convicted man's case and pardon this human being. It is so prayed.

This man is innocent. Please review his case. The death penalty is an anachronistic ineffective injustice that has been proven not to lessen nor deter crime .

he shouldn’t not be sitting in jail for a crime he did not commit especially if The prosecutor intentionally used perjured testimony against Crandell McKinnon. The prosecutor paid some witnesses to testify. The prosecutor and police intimidated, threatened and coerced witnesses.

It is disgraceful that Ojore has been locked on Death row due to a corrupt judicial system. He should be freed and time spent on finding the real murderer
