Keith Allen Lewis Sr.

ALIVE e.V.
Voices from Inside
 

My name is Keith Allen Lewis Sr., CDCR #P70532, birth-date 3/27/56, I was born and "reared“ in Oakland, California. I am unfortunately temporarily on California’s infamous Death Row.

My ethnicity: African- American (black)
Body Type: Average
Height: 5'7''
Marital Status: Single
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Religion: Al-Islam
Smoker: No
Drinker: No
Education: Graduated High School and some College
Children: (3) Sons, and I am a proud parent

The perfect woman and/or match for me would be:
A pious god fearing woman, her age, ethnicity, height, body type, hair color/length, eye color, breast cup size, occupation, religion or wether she has children or not, NONE OF THESE THINGS WOULD MATTER TO ME.

Her personality:
I´d like for her to be serious, yet have a sense of humor, be sociable, yet could be shy and quiet, observant and conservative, a woman whose intelligent enough to be a lady in the streets, but a true lover between the sheets.
But foremost and most importantly, a woman that believes in our creator, GOD, and a woman who’s undoubtedly pious.

Some of my favorite things are:
Songs: I Miss You, Walk On By, I Tried, Be Ever Wonderful, Distant Lover, What's Going On, Come Get To This, Tiger In The Rain, Children Of The Night, Peek-A-Boo, You're As Right As Rain, It's Too Late

Movies: Once Upon A Time In America, Man On Fire, Predator
TV Shows: The Honeymooners, Nature Shows, Seinfeld, Girlfriends, Jerry Springer, World Of Magic, Late Night Poker
Books: The Holy Quran, The Holy Bible, Think And Grow Rich, Black Biblical Heritage
Cars: Rolls Royce, Mercedes Benz, Lamborghini (albeit I've only owned a Mercedes Benz )
Sports Team: The Oakland Raiders

My personal message to the world would be:
First and foremost that, GOD, OUR CREATOR, IS THE GREATEST, and that, every person that has been found guilty of a crime , convicted and sent to prison for the crime, many of them aren´t actually guilty of the crime that they were tried for, found guilty of, and consequently sent to prison for.

I am best at:
Keeping my cool, and remaining calm in unpleasant situations, at caring for the ones I truly love, and at remaining in a god consciousness state/ frame of mind, at most times.

I am not so good at:
Forgiving when I´ve been wronged, although I do eventually forgive, it's extremely hard, for me to forget.
My greatest accomplishment is: My being the main part of the equation in which made the state of California spend multi, multi- millions of dollars changing California’s uninhabitable, filthy, rat, mouse and roach infested Death Row into a much cleaner, suitable and more sanitary place to live. Death Row is much cleaner now, than it was when I first arrived here. Death row had NEVER BEEN as clean as it is now, "PRAISE GOD", and inmates who unfortunately arrive here now, arrive at a well kept clean and sanitized death row. Again, "Praise God".

I am complimented the most about:
My prison advocating, and how I assist inmates properly address death row's ongoing malfeasance by staff and administrators alike.

What I like about myself:
The humbleness in which has come with my age, and my steadfastness in doing my best to stay and to remain in a God consciousness state/frame of mind, albeit I still have my short-comings.

"Harmless Error's" Article

Dear Sirs and/or Madams,

My name is Keith Allen Lewis Sr., P70532 and I am incarcerated, unfortunately, on San Quentin's Death Row. I, speaking for myself and my fellow inmates alike, would like to say that we deeply appreciate any and all assistance which you or your organization may be able to provide to us.

There is an issue that comes to mind at this particular time, that is the issue of what is called, "Harmless Errors"...this is a condition which the general public may not be familiar with at all. Harmless Error is misconduct which occurs before, during, after trials and particularly in all phases of Death Penalty cases. Not just in some Death Penalty cases, but in ALL DEATH PENALTY CASES. This misconduct is presented intentionally in front of and to the juries, but the trial courts, the appellate courts and even the United States Supreme Courts call these misconducts...Harmless Errors. So, in other words, these courts let evidence, testimony, arguments and other factors be introduced into the trials and to the juries that should not be introduced-----or they allow omissions of valuable evidence or information. Then all of these courts, in conjunction with each other, say, "oh, we made mistakes and there was some misconduct...however, the mistakes and misconduct were "Harmless Errors", therefore the conviction stands and you may execute the defendant".

I say unto you, on behalf of all the inmates of Death Rows throughout the United States and those that have been unjustly executed....In any death penalty trial, there is absolutely no room whatsoever for Harmless Errors!

How can the courts say that inenetional misconduct or mistakes are harmless???

How can the courts say that there is such a thing as a Harmless Error, when men and women's lives hang in the balance????

Death Penalty trials are not talking about the defendant doing (1) year in the county jail, or doing (5) years in prison...Our lives are at stake! Misconduct or mistakes, intentional or not, should absolutely not be tolerated at any time, during any court action, much less a Death Penalty trial!!!

Death Row inmates across this nation need support. We need concerned people, such as yourselves, and organizations or groups such as yours to speak with people at large, clergy members/religious groups and local and/or national politicians....we need you to vigorously demand that , Harmless Errors or not, "We will not tolerate any errors in Death Penalty trials!! We will not tolerate any errors in trials where a man's or woman's life is at stake...period!!!"

People need to understand that prosecuters are trained to pursue an alleged Death Penalty case with extremely vigorous methods. They are urged on by their superiors and the knowledge that if they are successful, it would mean future advancement for them in the justice system. These methods often mean using supposition, hearsay and committing as many harmless errors that it takes to secure an unwarranted conviction.

There may be some, who might not want to believe the message in this correspondence...However, this message is true. These injustices are occurring each and every day in courtrooms all across the United States of America!!

This is all very sad, but it is very true. Incarcerated individuals all over the nation, need all those who are concerned to go to the ballots on these issues which are addressed in this correspondence. You all must know, that without votes to correct these injustices, many people will continue to be wrongfully convicted and wrongfully executed!

May it be GOD's will that all who are concerned will join forces and come to the aid of all the wrongfully convicted inmates, especially those that sit on America's Death Row's...

"May it be GOD's will"

Sincerely and Respectfully Submitted,
Keith Allen Lewis Sr.
