Dear Mr. McMaster                                 May 17, 2007
 

I have been trying to get an appointment with you for sometime now and was told by Joy that it may be possible after you finished with your last court case. I have e-mailed and telephoned your office to no avail since that trial has been completed.


I know that you had no part in the injustice that was dealt to me more than a quarter of a century ago in Charleston, S.C.


However, I know that you are in a position as Attorney General of South Carolina to correct this wrongful conviction and clear my name. If I alone, were professing my innocents and saying these things, I could understand you ignoring what I have to say, after all I am an ex-con.


But, I am not alone Sir, I have nearly a dozen police officers and former SLED agents that will tell you " Paul Mazzell did not kill Ricky Seagraves". This includes the family of the victim, one of which is a former law enforcement officer himself, Tony Seagraves.
 

People like SLED agent L.G. Faircloth, a man that can boast he never lost a case, civil or criminal in a court of law and this was after serving more than twenty years in Law Enforcement.

These are your own people Sir.


There are at lease two police chiefs, and a assistant chief .

Even Chief Stewart knows and offered to bring agent from other areas of the state to investigate my case and this was not allowed by Charles Condon the then, Attorney General of South Carolina, But then how could he?


Sir I am serving a lifetime parole and I know the consequences of making the following statement if it were proven to be a lie.

I am telling you Charles Condon, former Solicitor of Charleston, South Carolina conspired to take my life in the electric chair. That he knew the truth long before my trial began, and then to have him block my every attempt to clear myself in years of appeals.


Mr. McMaster, I am pleading to you to do what is right and grant me a simple investigation. You are the person in power and you can make it right.

                                                Respectfully,

                                                   Paul Mazzell




He advised me to hire an attorney. this must be a new law in South Carolina. so if you see a crime, remember first hire an attorney and then report the crime.

Attorney General advised me to hire an attorney when I informed him of a crime. This must be a South Carolina Law. therefor if you know of a crime and can't afford an attorney in South Carolina keep it to yourself.

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

For more than a quarter of a century I have asked the people in Power in South Carolina for a simple investigation in a crime commited in 1978 that I was railroaded and convicted of. my pleas have fell on deaf ears. with the help of all care2 members and speaking as one this injustice can come to an end. 23 years in prison and freed on a lifetime parole in 2005 I am still trying to prove my innocents. I am free why would I still be doing this 25 years later.because I was innocent and am innocent. please read my profile and sign my petition. Thank You, Paul
