We need to become emotionally and physically involved in a battle to save a man’s life and save his family from suffering a terrible loss. The man we need to save is Richard Michael Cartwright, currently incarcerated on Texas Death Row at Polunsky Unit in Livingston, Texas. Richard Cartwright is awaiting lethal injection for the 1996 murder of Nick Moraida in Nueces County. His Death Row number is 999224. On his web site is a picture of Richard Cartwright, the Father, holding his baby daughter, Ricki Marie Cartwright, one last time on the same day he was sentenced to death. If you view this picture, it will touch your soul in ways I cannot even begin to describe. It is a picture that you will carry in your heart until the day you die. This picture and the emotional story of a Father’s love for his Daughter can be accessed at:

We need committed people to devote time praying for this innocent man, for his little girl and for his family, but most of all to dedicate time in trying to find resources that could help save THIS INNOCENT AND PRECIOUS LIFE.

You can begin by signing the petition to stop the execution of Richard Michael Cartwright at: http://www.ipetitions.com/campaigns/Richard_Cartwright/
Richard Michael Cartwright is INNOCENT of the crime he as been convicted of. He has been sentenced to die for the actions of others. His friends and family continue to hold on to the hope that someone will care enough to look at Richard’s case and INTERVENE before another life is taken.

There is a trial exhibit on Richard’s website at:
http://www.deathrow.at/rmc/home.html
It is a handwritten letter from one of the co-defendants to his girlfriend, admitting HE killed the victim. In the letter, he states,
“There is a lot I can’t explain about my life and my ways. I sometimes do things I don’t really mean to do, I usually do these things when I am high. I have always hated faggots but I didn’t mean to kill the little “queen.” I was pretty high that night, and I guess my rage overcame my ass. I guess that is what being a skinhead is all about.”

But yet, Richard Cartwright sits waiting to be executed and this man will one day walk the streets again.
And by the way, the man that wrote this letter testified against Richard at his trial, stating that Richard was responsible for the murder.

Further information on Richard Cartwright’s case could be accessed through the following addresses:

We are pleading for YOUR help in saving an innocent life, in saving a Father and a Son. Please help this little girl get her daddy back. Please help Richard’s mom, who in just two months, if the State of Texas will have it its own way, will begin a life of mourning for her innocent son killed at the hands of others for a crime HE DID NOT COMMIT.

How can anyone explain this UNJUSTICE??? Richard’s friends and family are praying and hoping that this case will see the light of day and that with YOUR help, Richard’s family and people like us who care will have a chance to save him before it is too late. We continue to believe and pray that there is someone out there, someone with a caring heart who can help.

People should know about this case and they should be aware of all those terrible things that Death Row inmates go through once the TV is turned off and once they are hidden from the rest of the world. Richard Cartwright is a man that has gone through so much, and he has suffered beatings at the hands of prison guards (there is an article about this incident on the “Uncensored” page).

Please take a moment to reflect on life as a whole. Reflect on those who surround You and how much they mean to You. Life is precious. It is not ours to take. We are asking You to help in any way You can. Please help Richard! Please help Him! He is a Father, he is a Son, but above all he is an innocent man. He is a HUMAN BEING just like we all are.
