As of today, the 16th of October, 2005, I
have been in prison for over twenty-five years; my name is Tim
Leon. In 1980, I caught a man in the act of sexually
molesting a baby girl. I tried to report the crime and get
some help, but no one would listen. After trying in vain to
get help, there was a fight in which the man died
(details).
All of this happened three weeks before
my twenty-first birthday. Now I am over forty-five years old, and
have spent half my life in prison, never having seen a day
of freedom since then. I have never been in trouble before
(see my
early life); I know I used poor
judgment and would change the past if I could.
