   No he did not deserve to die - afterall he did not actually kill anybody - obviously he was no saint but from what I have read about his case I feel very sad about this man and what he went through to try and save himself - even if he did die 45 years ago.

   When you read the trial account, & the writngs
   of Chessman, you can’t help but conclude that
   both sides are telling the truth. He certainly
   didn’t deserve to be executed for the crimes he
   was convicted of. Regina Johnson crusified him
   from the witness stand. Caryl Chessman was either
   innocent, or if he was The Red Light Bandit, he
   didn’t know it. A case today could be made for
   there being 2 Caryl Chessman’s. 1 in prison, & 1
   oudside. I believe we’ll hear from him in 2007.

   Why 2007? Anything special about that year.

   In his 3rd book, “The Face Of Justice” he states
   he has placed a package that can’t be destroyed,
   and is to be opened 50 yr’s to the day California
   defeated the Death Moritorium. In this package is
   conclusive proof that he Is Not The Red Light Bandit. It will also name, not 1, but 2 Red Light
   Bandits. There are some who say this will be the
   middle of 2007. Chessman managed to smuggle out
   his manuscripts for books 2 & 3. It’s very
   possible he could have pulled this off.

   I do believe, Caryl Chessman will very shortly
   finally win his battle against Capitol Punishment.
   Capitol Punishment is Big Business. The Justice
   System has gotten Rich off of it. When taxpayers
   wake up to the fact that it costs 15 to 20
   Million Dollars to execute someone, I believe
   they’ll vote it out, all across the country.
   In 1955, Chessman wrote that Death Row consisted
   of cells 2434 to 2469. There were 20 to 30
   men on the Row at all times. The average stay
   was 1 year. There are now over 700 on the row in
   California, with an average stay of 20 years or
   more. Someone is making a lot of money off
   Capitol Punishment. They’ve just about priced
   themselves out of business. When Capitol
   Punishment ends, I’m sure Caryl Chessman will
   be credited with it’s demise.

Looking forward to hear your thoughts.
