I have been so blessed to have the chance to work with these young men. To see them outside of their comfort zone having fun and just being kids, I see God at work. The boys to mens club is growing but to be honest I think I am getting more out of the club then the young men that I be with. We are still in need of bikes and not only bikes but opportunity to go differnt places. I want to expose them to as many new things as I can. So if you have any ideals please contact us.Justice For Terrellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10434108753116060805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590040410065513308.post-27711084879475462082012-10-12T09:05:00.001-07:002012-10-22T15:17:07.009-07:00Party for Terrell and Saundra.

<span style="font-size: small;">"Was the Wrong Man Convicted in 1994 murder case?"</span><br />
Excerpt from Sunday, September 21, 2003</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
By Bill Moushey, Post-Gazette Staff Writer</div>
<br />
"...On the night of July 21, many Hazelwood residents were outside until
past midnight, sitting, talking, drinking and watching their children
play.<br />
<br />
Verna Robinson was there, too, drinking beer from a Styrofoam cup. She
had bought a 16-ounce can of Stroh's with some of the money the cops had
given her.<br />
<br />
As the night wore on, she walked up and down Almeda Street, listening to gospel music on a Walkman.<br />
Shortly after 1 a.m., Barbara Robinson, who was upstairs closing a bedroom window, heard a shot.<br />
<br />
"BANG! Oh my God! Before I could get to the door, I heard another shot,"
she said. "Somebody was banging on my door, 'Miss Barb, Verna's in the
street, she's done been shot.' I came back through the house and went
out the front and saw her lying there."<br />
<br />
Her daughter was dead.<br />
<br />
The faint sounds of gospel music from Verna's headset wafted through the air.<br />
<br />
"I couldn't say nothing. I just picked up her hand ... the music was
playing, then I went back into the house," Barbara Robinson said.<br />
<br />
Shortly after the killing, a local resident described the assailants to police.<br />
<br />
One, she said, was a man who looked like Harold Cabbagestalk. Another
was Dorian Moorefield, another gang member. The third, she said, was a
youth between 13 and 14 years old.<br />
<br />
Despite that description, one other man -- Terrell Johnson -- became a
suspect, mainly because Verna Robinson had filed assault charges against
him.<br />
<br />
Johnson found out he was a suspect by reading the newspaper. He went to
police and said he had witnesses to prove he was in a house several
blocks away at the time of the killing. Police released him, but told
him not to leave town.<br />
<br />
Johnson thought he had nothing to worry about. But soon, another woman
would enter the case, and she would prove to be his undoing.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>Dolly McBryde's story</b></span><br />
Two and a half weeks after the shooting, Evelyn "Dolly" McBryde was caught shoplifting at Century III mall.<br />
It wasn't the first time she had been arrested.<br />
<br />
McBryde, 30, was another crack addict from Hazelwood. She already had
several outstanding warrants for various theft cases and for failing to
appear in court. She also faced more than 30 probation violations. Taken
together, these charges would have allowed a judge to imprison her for
up to 50 years.<br />
<br />
After her arrest, McBryde told mall police she had information about Verna Robinson's murder. She wanted a deal."...Justice For Terrellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10434108753116060805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590040410065513308.post-34552808247177980642012-07-18T17:43:00.001-07:002012-07-25T17:29:02.016-07:00New Trial DateTerrell Johnson's new trial has been scheduled for September 4, 2012.

People talked about their experience with the justice system and police in Pittsburgh and got the low down on Terrell Johnson's case. Below is some info from the workshop publications. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Statistics on wrongful convictions:</span><br /><br />With 2.5 million people incarcerated in the U.S. if only .01% of those inside are wrongfully convicted, that makes 25,000 people. <br /><br />According to a study conducted by the Innocence Project, of 70 cases overturned based upon post-conviction evidence…<br />• Over 30 of them involved prosecutorial misconduct;<br />• Over 30 of them involved police misconduct which led to wrongful convictions;<br />• About 15 of them involved false witness testimony;<br /><br />Terrell Johnson's case involves prosecutorial misconduct, police misconduct and false witness testimony. Also...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Government Misconduct</span><br />In far too many cases, the very people who are responsible<br />for ensuring truth and justice – law enforcement officials and<br />prosecutors – lose sight of these obligations and instead focus<br />solely on securing convictions.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Informants/Snitches</span><br />In more than 15% of cases of wrongful conviction<br />overturned by DNA testing, an informant or jailhouse<br />snitch testified against the defendant. Often,<br />statements from people with incentives to testify –<br />particularly incentives that are not disclosed to the<br />jury – are the central evidence in convicting an<br />innocent person.<br />People have been wrongfully convicted in cases in<br />which snitches:<br />• Have been paid to testify<br />• Have testified in exchange for their release<br />from prison<br />• Have testified in multiple distinct cases that they<br />have evidence of guilt, through overhearing a<br />confession or witnessing the crime.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bad Lawyering</span><br />The resources of the justice system are often stacked against poor defendants. Matters only become worse when a person<br />is represented by an ineffective, incompetent or overburdened defense lawyer. The failure of overworked lawyers to<br />investigate, call witnesses or prepare for trial has led to the conviction of innocent people. When a defense lawyer doesn’t<br />do his or her job, the defendant suffers. Shrinking funding and access to resources for public defenders and courtappointed<br />attorneys is only making the problem worse.Justice For Terrellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10434108753116060805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590040410065513308.post-47161184293438185812011-01-05T15:20:00.000-08:002011-01-05T15:23:16.110-08:00Letter Writing-Meets Video-Meets HipHopThis Friday, January 7, 2011, HRC FedUp! and the Justice for Terrell Campaign will be at the Kelly Strayhorn Theater for the first annual STOP THE VIOLENCE Holiday Talent Showcase.

She used perjured testimony to secure a conviction that helped pave her way to higher office.<br />2) District Attorney Stephen Zappala offered to release Terrell last year if he would admit to a crime he did not commit: Terrell refused the deal.<br /><br />Help us send a strong message and mobilize support of Freedom for Terrell this Wednesday.<br /><br /><a href="http://justiceforterrell.blogspot.com/p/letter-writing-campaign.html">Our blogspot link to letter writing campaign page</a>Justice For Terrellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10434108753116060805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590040410065513308.post-85196346816201641092010-11-30T11:39:00.000-08:002011-01-03T18:40:19.176-08:00Hazel Hastings "Terrell Johnson" Interview with Bill Moushey of the Innocence Institute of Point Park University<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/13919537" width="400" frameborder="0" height="300"></iframe><p>Hazel Hastings talks about her relationship with Evelyn "Dolly" McBryde -- the woman whose testimony landed a Pittsburgh man, Terrell Johnson, in prison for a crime he says he did not commit.</p><br /><br /><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/13919537">Link to video on Vimeo</a>Justice For Terrellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10434108753116060805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590040410065513308.post-29873933031192044312010-08-12T13:37:00.000-07:002011-01-06T13:38:50.549-08:00Hazelwood Freedom Festival 2Join HRC/Fed Up! and the Justice for Terrell campaign for a summer block party in Hazelwood featuring music, fire-jugglers, face-painting, food, and other entertainment, along with literature and information tables about other social justice struggles and community projects.

Terrell has successfully won a new trial, scheduled for August 2nd, after newly discovered evidence proved that the Commonwealth's star and only witness that implicated him in the homicide was lying through her teeth.<br /> <br />Supporters will gather at 9:00 a.m. with the press conference scheduled for 9:30 a.m. After the press conference, supporters will attend the City Council meeting and voice their support for Terrell and demand his immediate release during the public comment period of the meeting.<br /> <br />Terrell's wife andlead organizer of the Justice for Terrell Campaign, Saundra Cole, says he could be home by now. "The DA's office offered Terrell a deal last fall: cop to a lesser plea, accept a 7-15 year sentence, and walk out of prison today. He refused because he is innocent." <br /> <br />Terrell was sentenced to life in prison based on the perjured testimony of a corrupt witness, Evelyn McBryde, who was cutting deals with the cops in exchange for favorable treatment in her own cases, one of which involved the prostitution of her own children. The Innocence Institute of Point Park recently published on their website that McBryde called them just after midnight on April 1, stating, "I'm not going to be involved in (Johnson's) case."<br /> <br />Even if she were to testify, Terrell's counsel will call witnesses that prove that the testimony that led to his conviction in 1995 was false from start to finish. Dinah Brown will testify that Evelyn was not at her residence that night, as originally claimed, and has photographic evidence to disprove McBryde's description of her apartment. Another witness, Kenneth Robinson, will testify that he was with McBryde at the time of the shooting in another house in Hazelwood, making it impossible for her to have witnessed the shooting.<br /> <br />A new trial will also allow Terrell's counsel to call his two alibi witnesses, both of whom were inexplicably not called during the first trial due to the gross ineptitude of his lawyer. Two other men, Harold Cabbagestalk and Dorian Moorefield, were also charged in the shooting death of Verna Robinson. All three were tried separately. Cabbagestalk was convicted on the lesser charge of conspiracy and Moorefield was exonerated. Both were tried after Terrell and each had competent lawyers that were able to demolish McBryde's perjured testimony.<br /> <br />Verna Robinson was murdered on the evening of July 21, 1994, after Pittsburgh police officers dropped her off at her mother's home in Hazelwood instead of placing her in protective custody. Verna was supposed to be in the witness protection program because of her testimony regarding another shooting in the Hazelwood area.<br /> <br />"The DA's office is attempting to coerce Terrell into accepting a deal in order to cover up their criminal misconduct in illegally warehousing an innocent man in prison for 16 years for a crime they know he did not commit," adds Paradise Gray of One Hood. <br /> <br />"Every night the cops and Commonwealth attorneys who conspired to frame Terrell and continue to hold him despite the proven absence of evidence get to go home to their family," points out Saundra. "Terrell goes to sleep in a prison cell while his wife and children are forced to go another day without him at home. This is cruel beyond words and we will not rest till he is free and these authorities are held to account for their crimes."Justice For Terrellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10434108753116060805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590040410065513308.post-57966395898014562712010-05-10T08:48:00.000-07:002010-12-11T10:25:44.681-08:00Terrell Johnson Case Summary<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Terrell Johnson Case Summary</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:0;"></span></b><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">Terrell Johnson has spent the last 16 years locked in a state prison, separated from his children and loved ones, for a murder that Pittsburgh police know he did not commit.<span style="font-size:0;"> </span>Terrell was charged with murder in the death of Verna Robinson after he refused to provide false testimony against two other men suspected of involvement in her killing.
