Terrible Tutwieler

I write to Shonda Johnson in Alabama's Tutwieler Prison. I have written to her for many years and consider her a pseudo-sister. I do not believe she is guilty of the crimes she has been convicted of. Much like Darlie Routier, Shonda has been convicted solely on the basis of her actions and lifestyle.

But I digress. This post is about Christie Michelle Scott VIA Shonda Johnson. My long time readers know that I am inclined to be that epitome of American justice and actually believe someone is innocent until proven guilty.

I often believe the underdog because I dont quite trust that those in power have the purest of intentions. Heresay and accusations from every Tom, Dick and harry does not a guilty person make. However, when the heresay comes from the gals that live within feet of her  24/7 you tend to believe it.

I had asked Shonda about the rapes and harassment reportedly happening there in Tutwieler. She confirmed it and told me of a few women who have been pregnant and then beaten until they miscarried. She went on to say that since she had been there for so long it was easier to deal with but the newer girls were tormented to almost paralysis. Not just by the guards either but by inmates. One particular inmate, Christie Michelle Scott.

Christie was given life without the possibility of parole for setting her 5 year old autistic son on fire in his own bed the day after she took out an insurance policy on him. The judge overruled the jury’s recommendation and gave her death.
I was so surprised by that. I had read online about her many support groups and legions of believers and supporters. I relayed that to Shonda and I could almost hear her stifled laughter before I opened the envelope.

“That’s really hilarious some people say Christie is innocent. Everyone here says she’s shown her true colors by the things she does here. That’s one thing that makes us believe she did it. She does evil stuff like write letters requesting to get someone fired or in trouble and sign other people names to it. She touches and grabs in a sexual way at the new girls and scares them to death.”

“She admitted to all of us that she lied on her ex-husband and said he started the fire and she said to everyone that she waited for 30 minutes the night of the fire to tell her neighbor that her son was inside the house.”

Then just for good measure she threw in:

“I don’t know how true it is but rumor has it the fire fighters beat the crap out of her on the scene because they knew that it had been set from the inside. When we asked her about that she just laughed and shook her head.”

  1. I'd be really curious to know why you think that Shonda is innocent, especially after reading "like Routier she was convicted based solely on her lifestyle."

    Is your belief in her innocence based on the fact that she writes to you? And is it based on what she tells you in the letters? I HOPE you do this, but if you don't, please read the "statement of facts" sections of the appeals decisions sometimes. For Shonda, just google: Shonda Nicole JOHNSON v. STATE (2005). Same with Darlie: Routier v. State (2003)

    I only suggest this b/c your comment that these two were convicted solely based on their lifestyle is patently absurd.

  3. ummmm, yeah. I've read those particular cases inside out and sideways not to mention speaking regularly with them and their family members.
    The point is that I have read all that but just because that's what is written doesn't make it true.
    For those claims to be patently absurd would mean there is no validity which in fact there is. There are several reputable legal professionals in Darlies case especially that believe the way she behaved and her actions contributed to her persecution. Shonda is the same. He marriages tainted the whole trial.

    I dont give two shits about someones opinion who is to short sighted or just plain lazy to check beyond the headlines and the propaganda we are force fed by the government.

Darlie Routier Texas

I was contacted by a penpal of Darlie Routier's who gave me some of the most recent advances in her case to share with you all. I began writing to Darlie in December of 2005 and she is one woman whom I will never understand how she got behind bars. Really. You know what else? With all the information ALREADY out there about this case, in addition to the newly discovered info, I think if you can't see this poor woman's innocence, you may just be an asshole. So many legal flubs, so much question and police innuendo that turned out to be nothing. So many fingers pointed and road blocks thrown up, I am surprised this case isn't used in other countries to point to the clusterfuck we call a justice system.  I believe Darlie could have been released ages ago if the state had done the necessary DNA testing. Sadly, Texas has tried to stop it in every unconstitutional way they could pull out of a bull's ass. BUT- there is hope on the horizon. This from Camp Darlie ...

The Most Beautiful Girls to Ever Kill Their Own Mother

As human beings, we have trouble fathoming the idea of a young girl committing so atrocious a crime as murder. Much less, the murder of her own mother. The concept becomes even more inconceivable when it pertains to a beautiful young woman beautiful young woman with a loving family and the world at her fingertips. These girls aren't all women in prison now. Some have been released and disappeared into the mainstream. Scary, huh?  Nakisha Waddell     At age 14, Nakisha Waddell stabbed her mother, Vaughne Thomas, 43 times in their Virginia home. In court, she said she was tired of the years of fighting and just exploded. Her 15-year-old friend, Annie Belcher, helped her dig a grave in the backyard. The pair poured alcohol and nail polish remover on the dead woman and tried to ignite her to no avail.  They eventually mixed a crude concrete mixture and poured it on top of her and finished by covering her with sticks, leaves, and yard debris. She gives n...

Brenda Andrew Execution date

     Brenda Andrew is the only woman on Oklahoma death row. She is there for the murder of her husband by her and her boyfriend James Pavatt.      Brenda does not answer letters. It seems she may still have a bit of that pretentious attitude left over from her days as a respected deacons wife. Those days are over, hun.      There is no scheduled execution date for Brenda yet. Oklahoma lists its dates of execution for the prison she is in here .      Every time I read about this case I am utterly amazed at how stupid these two people were. She may as well have advertised their guilt on a billboard in front of the house. Both Andrew's and Pavatt's appeal were systematically denied without comment in 2008. The little Scorned episode "The Sunday School Killers" at the top of this post is about Brenda and James and its only $1.99 so its worth the money.
