Not sure if anyone is still checking in on this page since I haven't posted in so long. I think most peopple have switched over to Greg's facebook page. Anyway, Greg will be doing a live interview today on 100.7 FM. Check it out if you can.

GREG TAYLOR FREE!!

Through a unanimous vote by a three judge panel, Greg Taylor has been released after 17 years in prison. WOW! It sure felt good to write that. Greg is doing some much needed catch up time with his family right now. I'm back at my job today so not much time to update write now. I'll check in later tonight and let yall know how he's doing. History has been made and we are so happy! Thank you everyone for your prayers and support.

Happy Valentines Day everyone. Well here we are going into day five. The DA will start calling his witnesses tomorrow. Greg's defense attorneys have been working very hard and it shows. A lot of people have asked if we are going to the courthouse on Tuesday morning. I believe that the DA has passed on his chance to do the right thing and join us in our plea to free Greg. On Tuesday the judges will be reviewing the evidence and paperwork in the case. We must trust that they will see that Greg is innocent and decide in his favor on Wednesday. I do not see the need at this point to go down to the courthouse. I plan on going back to work for a full day on Tuesday. Then hopefully I can get an appointment to visit Greg on Tuesday evening. The part of the jail he is in has no access to phones so he has not been able to call. When we get together at the hearing on Monday maybe we can come up with a little get together somewhere on Tuesday.

Day 3 of Hearing

We are in the third day of the hearing now. It's so frustrating not knowing how things are going to turn out. It's almost like you wish there was a scoreboard. So you can tell if you are ahead or behind. Having the truth on our side should be the final difference though. We are very thankful for the expert witnesses that have taken the stand. They are finally revealing what really happened and how an innocent man has been in prison for almost 17 years now. The other witnesses that have taken the stand have really helped out a lot also. The defense does not have the access to the lucrative deal making with peoples freedom. We have to depend on people to tell the truth about what they know that may correct this injustice. Most would think that a time when people would show compassion and speak up for what is right is long gone. But it is still here.
Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support. Please pray that the truth will continue to be shown. That Greg's innocence will be proved and that he'll get out soon.

Big day is here

Well tomorrow is the big day. Greg will be brought up to Raleigh for the three judge panel . The hearing is set to start at 10AM. No one can get into the building for the hearing until 9AM. I have tried to get everyone that requested to be on it  on the list to attend. We had a limited number of seats in the actual hearing room that was reserved for family. I have put others on a list for the auditorium where the hearing will be streamed in. During breaks I we will try to meet back in the auditorium. If you can make it out please come and show support for Greg. In case you didn't catch it there was an article in the N&O about Greg on Sunday. HEre is the link:

Please keep Greg in your prayers that this will be the final step to justice being done and he will be a free man soon.Thank you all for your support.

Note from Dad

Well, the turnout was awesome, despite the absence of some of our regulars (Everett was ill). Our family thanks the Campbell Law delegation, and Professor Baker for their continued support. We had a lot of people stop and inquire, and hopefully we'll have a lot of interest in the proceedings next week via the web feed from WRAL-TV. For any who wish to attend, there will be plenty of room available in the auditorium at the Campbell Law School, but you must get your name on a list to be admitted. Contact Eddy and he will see that your name is included. It's important that we continue to show support for Greg during the hearing.

Thanks to all for your continuing prayers and support.

Ed (Greg's Dad)
