We had a nice article in the N&O today about the gathering on Friday. You can check ot out at :
http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/1696065.html. The N&O has done a good job reporting on Greg's case. This article really showed the impact Greg's wrongful conviction has had on  his family. The article also expressed the urgency of getting Greg released so thet he can begin the new life that he deserves.
The paper reported a detail that really makes you open your eyes. The man that confessed this summer to committing the murder Greg was convicted for, tried to confess to a prison psychologist in 1996 that he had committed two murders. The comment by the psychologist about this confession was noted as "is matter of fact about his intent and there is no psychosis present." Kind of makes you wonder. The psycholigist said the man's not crazy and claims he killed a couple of people. Yet no one followed up to get more infromation. Could Greg's case have been solved as early as 1996 if someone followed through? At least the previous confession does add cedibilty to the latest confession. Interesting. Two men whose stories haven't changed. Greg claims innocence since 1991 and the man who confessed has made his claim of guilt at least since 1996. Nobody listened to either on of them until now.
I talked with Greg on the phone today. He is starting to see a little difference in his eye which we are hoping indicates it is getting better. He mentioned that he had gotten some letters. If any one is shying away from writing because they haven't written before now, don't worry about that. Greg has really enjoyed hearing from evrybody that has written him. If you've been following the blog and haven't signed in as a follower go ahead and do it. If you're on the list I can mention to Greg who's keeping up with him out there.
