About Gabriel:

FREE Innocent man on Texas Death row!

Fourteen years ago San Antonio

County placed me on death row for
Gabriel Gonzalez!
a crime I did not commit!
I grew up in a run-down, poverty-
stricken neighborhood, where
gangs, drugs, prostitution and
violence were created by social
injustice. A place where I had no
role models. I had no parental
guidance in my life. Drug lords and
gang members looked for and
targeted children like me. A place
where one develops a false sense of manhood and lives in a
perpetual state of fear.

Once veiled by ignorance, my destructive actions were but reflex

actions to a hostile social order. Due to this blinding veil of
ignorance, the social order of things, though hostile, appeared in no
way unnatural to me.

While wrongfully convicted and sentenced to die, I have utilized my

time as beneficially as possible via study: Social, Political, Spiritual
and Cultural awareness and implementation, introspection,
recognition of mistakes and misconceptions of manhood.

I am a Latino father of four and a husband to a wife whom I love

more than anything. I am a prison activist involved in many social
causes. I’m a poet and artist. I love to read and write. I spend most
of my time writing, reading and seeking to extend myself beyond
the limitations of this cruel and unusual confinement of isolation,
sensory deprivation, and physical and psychological abuse.

* All physical evidence points to the witnesses who testified

* The prosecutor intentionally withheld contradicting Donate to his legal fund:

statements made by the state’s witnesses from Gabriel’s Gabriel Gonzalez
defense. The witnesses originally admitted their guilt to the P.O.Box 71199
prosecutor, but later changed their statements after being Shorewood, WI 53211-1199
coerced, in order to save themselves and shift the blame to
Gabriel.

Gabriel was granted a resentencing hearing on 10-18-06. This

means that he will be resentenced to either a death sentence or life
in prison. Gabriel deserves a new trial: he should not be punished

sometime next year. We have limited time to raise money for his

legal fees -- after the hearing he only has one year to file his federal BIC: DEUTDEDB428
appeal and try to get a new trial. If he does not have the money for Keyword: Gabriel Gonzalez
his lawyer, his only chance at appeal will be gone. Under our
current system, the quality of one’s justice is determined by how
much one can afford to pay. Nonetheless, until we are able to
change this broken system, we must try our best to fight for justice
for those wrongfully convicted, like Gabriel Gonzales.
