Dear Prime Minister,

You are my last hope and I know and trust that if you read this letter you will understand that it is totally wrong that such an injustice could be allowed to happen. I am not allowed to say that I did not do these terrible things because they say that my only chance is to admit it all and beg for clemency but ... You must hear my story and then you will understand that it’s not true and that there’s been a terrible mistake. I DID NOT DO THESE MURDERS SO HELP ME GOD. I know you will find this hard to believe but you would understand this if we could speak. You would do well to not believe everything they say about me. Life is a long, dark tunnel, leading to uncertainty. If you read this letter carefully then you will know why we must meet and then I can convince you. Please do not let them kill me for a crime I did not do!  You would be astonished to meet me, and then you would know the truth.

Remember the Bible - "I am my brother's keeper”

Yours sincerely

Stuart Pearson.
