I am a man on Texas Death Row, for a murder I didn't commit

Hello World, first I want to thank you for visiting my page and reading what I have to say about the unfair sentence I received.

I am a 37 year-old man who has been on Texas Death Row since 2012. That's 13 years being locked down 22-24 hours, everyday on Polunsky Unit.

You all might research my case and what the News reported about me before, during and after my trial. As a result, it always seems like the odds are stacked against me.
There is a saying that goes "Seeing is believing." To support that, I have proof on all my appeals and paperwork available for the public to see.

On this website, I will show you proof of the Injustice of our System, which placed me on Death Row for a murder I didn't commit!

What Happened?

In 2012, Steven Nelson was convicted of the capital murder of Clinton Dobson on March 3, 2011, in Arlington, Texas.

Dobson, a pastor, had been assaulted and then suffocated with a plastic bag, and his secretary, Judy Elliot, was badly beaten but survived.

A trio (Jefferson, Springs and Nelson) planned on committing a burglary. A laptop, cellphone, car, and credit cards were stolen from the victims (Elliot and Dobson).
Steven confessed that he had agreed to participate in the robbery, as the look out, but never assaulted the victims.

He entered the church twice to take a few items, but never interacted with the victims.
