Mississippi Death Row..... Lawrence Branch v. State of Mississippi; Carroll Circuit Court 1st District; LC Case #: 2001-0003CR1; Ruling Date: 05/23/2002; Ruling Judge: C. Morgan,III; Disposition: Motion to Resentence to Life Without Parole is granted in part insofar as this matter is remanded to the Circuit Court for the First Judicial District of Carroll County,case No. 2001-0003CR1,for resentencing within thirty (30) days of the entry of this order. Agreed: All Justices. Order entered.
Larry Matthew Puckett was convicted of Capital Murder in August of 1996 and his been on Death Row at Parchman, MS since then. Matt and his family and friends have maintained his innocence from the beginning and have worked all this time to prove that he did not commit this horrible crime.
Matt was only 18 years old and until he was charged with this crime, he had never been in any kind of legal trouble. He was the first Eagle Scout ever at his high school and was honored for that distinction at an awards ceremony just days before he graduated from high school. He was a good loyal son and friend to all who knew him. When Matt was in his senior year of high school, his Dad suffered a heart attack and was unable to work for a time. Matt stepped up and not only went to school but worked and contributed his entire paycheck to help out until his Dad was able to return to work. Matt was scheduled to leave for the Navy the week after this crime was committed. He had everything going for him and no reason or motive to commit a murder.
Matt's attorney's have been working on his case diligently, but
unfortunately, we have reached a brick wall in every direction and time is running out for us to prove that Matt is innocent. Please sign this petition to help us save Matt's life by asking the Governor of the State of Mississippi to commute Matt's sentence from Death to Life without the possibility of parole. We would much rather see Matt freed entirely, but right now our only chance is for the Governor to grant this request. We need more time!! Matt's last appeal is currently in front of the US Supreme Court but the justices are expected to rule by January 16, 2012. If we are turned down, the Mississippi Attorney General will set an execution date for 30 days out. That give us no longer than February 17.
If you believe in Matt because you know him or because you know someone who knows and believes in him, please help us by signing this petition and encouraging others to sign.
You can also sign because you believe that the Death Penalty is wrong and that it should be abolished in the State of Mississippi and in the United States of America.

Justin is currently incarcerated at Mississippi Department of Corrections - Ms. Unit 29 J Building
I was falsely convicted in May 1995 of the murder and kidnapping of Virginia Ann Harris. I was poorly represented by Attorney Edward Blackmon Jr.. during my trial, and there was no defense presented even though I had witnesses that would testify.
I am currently represented by Attorney James W. Craig and Mark D. Jicka. I'm in the South District Federal Court where I filed a petition for Habeas Corpus. I'm also trying to return to state court for Post-Convicition as well based on evidence we were not privy to during my original trial.
Some of the issues that are raised on my behalf are
(a) ineffective assistance of counsel,
(b) Violation of Miranda Rights,
(c) a violation of rights to have a independent psych evaluation to ascertain competency before trial
(d) Proprietorial misconduct in not turning over all exculpatory evidence,
(e) there may be some issues with the gathering of evidence that did fall under the direct protocol.
There are a lot of holes in my case and some of the blame may fall on my shoulders because I was naive to the law or my rights. I can honestly say that I was duped but I want to prove my innocence and there are plenty of facts left unturned that need to be sought.
What I am looking for assistance with is Research and cited cases dealing with - 1) there was a order by the trial judge that stated I could have a mental evaluation independent from the county, and my Attorney re-addressed the issue; 2) the lead investigator of my case never received the so- called murder weapon and it was turned over to the FBI Crime Lab by a third party without the knowledge of proper protocol of the lead detective or Madison Co. Sheriffs Department, and 3) there was evidence of a polygraph test in my motion of discovery dealing with the witness ( a witness) for the defense, but no mention at all of the states witness taking a polygraph test.
I would appreciate any and all assistance that can be offered.

PHONE #: 601-359-3150 OR 1-877-405-0733
E-MAIL: governor@governor.state.ms.us
TIME IS CRUCIAL FOR THESE PHONE CALLS TO BE MADE ON 1/4/12 BUT NO LATER THAN 1/5/12 BECAUSE HALEY BARBOUR WILL BE LEAVING OFFICE & WE WOULD LIKE FOR HIM TO BE THE ONE TO MAKE THE DECISION IN A CASE INVOLVING A LAW THAT HE SIGNED INTO LAW.
I requested a clemency application for Michael Lindsey on October 18, 2011. As of this date I have been denied this application by Governor Haley Barbour's office. After repeated calls to Gov. Barbour's office for over 2 months to check the status of my request on December 27, 2011, I was told by his office that it is Governor Barbour's his police that an inmate has to have been out of prison for at least 7 years before they can receive an application for clemency. This is not the law in Ms. In Ms. ALL INMATES have the right to request clemency.
Michael's case involves a law that Governor Haley Barbour signed into law & took effect and shall be in force from and after July 1, 2006 called Mississippi 'Stand Your Ground' Castle Doctrine which protects the victim of a felony crime form criminal & civil prosecution. The FELONY AGGRAVATED ASSAULT COMMITTED ON MICHAEL AT 2:00 A.M. AT HIS FRONT DOOR which resulted in the death of this felony attacker happened on July 27, 2008 which makes Michael protected by this law which was completely & intentionally ignored by police & the Ms. justice system.
For the Gov. of Ms. to be required by Ms. law to review a request for clemency this request has to accompanied by the application issued by the governor's office. I have been denied this application which would require by law that Governor Haley Barbour review Michael's case.
I am asking everyone to please call Governor Haley Barbour's office & demand this application for clemency be issued & that Gov. Barbour review the case of this victim of a felony crime who was wrongfully charged, prosecuted then forced to make a plea under duress by the state of Ms. when he was protected by Ms. law from all of the above mentioned.
You can view crime scene photos of Michael Lindsey laying on the ground bloody & unresponsive (as stated in police reports) taken by police when they arrived on the scene on Michael's web page by The Mississippi Justice Project. Also on his web page by the MJP you can read the MEMO BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO NOLLE PROSSE by Michael's attorney submitted to the court which was denied. I did not uses these crime scene photo's as the profile picture for this event because of their graphic nature. Some people find these photos offensive but as offensive as they are to some they are Michael Lindsey's reality.

There are 5 blogs on this site about Michael 1 in June & 4 in July.

Thanks to everyone for your help & support in helping me see justice served for the real VICTIM of this tragic incident Michael Lindsey.
William Mitchell is expecting a execution to be set any time. Once the state gets a date set it is carried out within 30 days. William Mitchell is one of the men named in the Knox Lawsuit, who deceive inadequate counsel.
KNOX V. MISSISSIPPI Justia.com Opinion Summary: In 2010, sixteen death-sentenced inmates, including Steve Knox (the inmates), filed a complaint in the Chancery Court. The essence of their complaint was that due to defects in both the statutory structure and the performance of the Mississippi Office of Capital Post-Conviction Counsel (MOCPCC), they were deprived of their right to obtain meaningful state post-conviction and federal habeas corpus review of their convictions and death sentences. The inmates requested injunctive relief against the State due to alleged violations of their rights to competent, appointed, post-conviction counsel. The State moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. After a hearing, the chancery court found that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the complaint because the inmates' "attack on the death sentences and post-conviction judicial reviews of [their] convictions" was cognizable under the Uniform Post-Conviction Collateral Relief Act (UPCCRA). The chancery court dismissed the complaint. Upon review, the Supreme Court affirmed, finding the chancery court lacked jurisdiction over the inmates claims because the claims were embraced by the UPCCRA.
