I have learned over the pass few weeks, that people who sign petitions, sign them for a reason and that is they see something wrong and they want to right it. In my case people read my story, then they look on the internet and see an all together different story. And I guess that the story told by the courts and news papers are easier to believe than an ex-convict, a thief and hustler. And I can understand.

What I don't understand is why any American would want someone like this Solicitor to get away with a crime, such as asking the state to put me to death and him knowing that I had killed no one. He knew the truth and swore an oath to uphole the laws of this country and still tryed to have me killed.

I know what I have done with my life and it has been a total waste. I've stole, cheated and lied. I have never been involved in any violents. But lets say I got what I deserved and I know some of you feel that way by the letters some have sent to me. I paid for my crime, in fact over paid.

How ever do you turn your back on another criminal and let him walk scott free. or do you demand my case be investigated and All criminals get the justice they deserve?

This petition is not about me, its about a crooked Solicitor and a handfull of sorry Cops who believe they are above the law. If you do nothing, then you must believe as they do. If you believe no one is above the law, then please sign this petition. Thank you for your support and honesty. Paul

I was released from prison November 23, 2005 this was after spending more than twenty three years behind bars for a crime I did not commit.

I can not get the State of South Carolina to do an investigation into this injustice and make their finding public.

This is all I have ever asked.

I have openly stated that the Solicitor, who would later become Attorney General of the state, "conspired to put and innocent man in the electric chair" This statement has never been denied, only ignored.

I ask you, why would a person make such an accusation, knowing the conquenses of such a statement, if it were a lie.

I am now asking that all members become involved in my fight for the justice I have been denied of so many years.

Will you help? please click on my petition. Please pass it on, thank you.

U.S. Attorney Brent Gray could find no Civil Rights violations and is being promoted to the Civil Rights Department in Washington, D.C.


A false news report was release to local television fifteen hour after they knew it was false.


Witness intimidation to the point many would not testify —one witness received $40.000 in court for harassment.


Defense star witness hidden by law enforcement and lied to the court when they stated they were unable to find her.


Two known murderers and a third, who had shot two police officers; all three were given immunity for their testimony. All these people were housed together by a Sheriff of Berkeley County including a fourth witness for the state.


A woman named Trudy was over heard saying she was searching to find out how far Stoney could go in the courts before causing a mistrial.


At lease three tented jurors:
(1) One was seen leaving the Solicitors office about an hour before court.
2) Second, who stated they were guilty as the ace of spades before the trial began.
3) Third, the nephew of one of the investigating officers was the foreman of the jury. This officer sat in the court throughout the trial.


Prosecutor Stoney’s family helped Judge Fields with his college education.


Judge Fields asked the foreman of the jury to come to his chambers; this was early into the trial and is said to be highly unusual at this early point.


Judge Fields was seen passing a note to the foreman of the jury at the beginning of the penalty phase.


Stoney threatens the judge in the courtroom.


Four people had been charged with murder, only two were ever tried. One’s charges were drop after the trial; he had been kept in a room below the courtroom and was never aloud to testify.

The second’s charges were held over his head for more than twenty years, so he could not testify. Justice Toal recently dismissed his charges.


During the penalty phase of the trial, only one person was facing a death sentence, Paul Mazzell.


SLED Agent L.G. Faircloth tried several years to reopen this case, it was his and he did not close it. And would later testify in court that he believed that the wrong man was in jail. This man never lost a case, civil or criminal in court and retired with more than twenty years in law enforcement. In his efforts for justice, people from the Attorney Generals office, attacked him for his reason for testifying. The Attorney General, Charles Condon .


Tony Seagraves a former police office wrote Condon letters stating he was convinced that Paul Mazzell had not killed his brother and asked the case be investigated. Condon denied getting this letter and Tony sent a second attached to the first. This was to no avail.


All investigative files are lost both at SLED and Charleston County Sheriff’s office.


Police Chief M.C. Bellew was forced to resign when he refused to stop his investigation into this case.


States Star Witness fails the polygraph test. The first question was " do you intend to tell the truth" showed deception.


The defendant passed the polygraph test, Showed no deception.


Judge Patterson "stated this case has cost me the loss of sleep" but chose to do nothing.


Judge Shedd " warn of alternative ruling" and when it was over ruled, he did nothing.


In an affidavit,A Police Chief stated " I informed the Charleston County Sheriff's office of where the victims body was buried and who had killed him, this was within a few days of the murder" in 1979. The Chief did not realize Mazzell was convicted in 1983 of this murder and came forward in 2003 after reading an article in a local paper concerning this case.


When asked about this by Glen Smith of the Charleston Post, Condon could not recall Mr. Norris’s statement.


When Glen Smith asked Stoney about this, he was quoted "He was sure Mazzell was guilty of something"


There has been dozens of letters written to every politician in South Carolina asking this case be looked into. 99% of the letters were never acknowledged in any form.

Every member of the Senate and the Lt. Governor's office was sent the above information in a letter, on March 13, 2007 and as of todays date, there has been no response by anyone.

I ask all members of Care2 to please get involved and pass this on. Please sign my petition below.
