His
story
 Keith
is a black man, coming from a poor and numerous family. He is
charged with a killing made in 1994, but he has always declared
himself innocent. His sentence to death was due to inexperienced and
neglectful defence attorneys, as often it happens to people like him
who does not possess financial resources to pay out skilful lawyers.
He is on death row since 1997. His execution is scheduled on next
March 20th. He asks everybody not to stop praying for him and for
his three children.
