Mr. McMasters has the power to grant an Investigation into my case. I have been told Mr. McMasters is one of the most honorable men in South Carolina. With your help, I believe he will be willing to expose this injustice and bring accountability back to South Carolina.

Simple Investigation

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/485311112

If you believe, this person is incorrect.

 

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

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 know 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 helps Judge Fields with his college education.

Judge Fields ask 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 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 of 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 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 force to resign when he refuses to stop is 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, Chief Norris stated " I informed the Solicitors office of where the victims body was buried and who had killed him, this was within a few days of the murder" in 1979. Norris did not relies Mazzell was convicted 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 letter were never acknowledged in any form. Every member of the Senate and the Lt. Governor was sent on March 13, 2007 and none have answered as of yet.

Please take a moment of your time and read.

I have spent more than twenty-three years behind prison walls for a crime I did not commit. I was freed in November 2005 and I am still asking for the same thing I have since 1983 "A Fair and Honest Investigation" I have a Son and a Grandson that carries the name Paul Mazzell. These kids should not have to live their lives in the shadow of a lie created by a crooked solicitor and a few crooked cops.

Please sign this petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/485311112 I am 78 years old and as you can see, time is not on my side. Your signature will mean so much in clearing my name and will take less than a minute. If you feel this important to you, please ask your friends to take part and help me expose this horrible injustice for the victim’s family and myself. Thank you for your support and help to correct this awful wrong. Sincerely, Paul Mazzell
