Dear Governor Newsom, Dear Mr Governor Newsom, this is an open letter to Governor Gavin Newsom. It would be a bold move to exoner h Jarvis Masters, and it would not give him back the decades that he has lived at San Quentin after a grave miscarriage of justice. In this podcast, Dear Governor, myself, along with the community of supporters, want to introduce you and the Governor of California to the man who is Jarvis Masters. My name is Jarvis Pastors.
I have been an inmate at Saint Quentin ins ACU for or thirty years, forty years ship half for a long time. I clear, sometimes you just want to let that self go right and you want to keep it low. You know, you want like you know you don't want. You know what it is if you just see something different all of us. I have been an inmate at San Quentin's prison for almost forty years. I am certainly guilty of the crimes that brought me here, and I'm all in the mistakes I'm made, and I've paid my dues.
When I'm not guilty of the climate put me here theirth row for the last third years. When you put a moratorium on the death penalty. Governor Newsom made a call to our better angels because he said, when you know better, you do better. There are innocent people on death row. I cannot sign off on executing hundreds and hundreds of human beings before the penalty phase. Do you remember the moment when you heard the jury come back and say guilty. Yeah, I was really missed at that.
It became real. This is the story of one man, but it's not merely one man's story. I hope time to listen to my story, and I hope you have the heart to recognize the unjust reality of capital punishment. Somebody guilty, mayors have to be put to justify the execution of one innocent there. I'm Corny Cole and I'm host of Dear Governor, a new podcast from I Heart Radio about renowned Buddhist author Jarvis Masters, who has steadfastly maintained his innocence since he was sentenced to death almost
thirty years ago. From the confines of his nine by four cell. Jarvis will share his riveting life story how he has managed to maintain a sense of optimism in the most dire circumstances, and he'll provide the details of the bloody murder that landed him on death row. They said that I sharpened the weapon and sent it down to the guy who then made it into a toll
and spirit the guard. With newly disclosed evidence that bolsters Jarvis's claims of innocence, will the California Supreme Court exonerate him or reaffirm his death sentence. I'm waiting for the habeas quote is further to come in. I have been waiting twenty six years for it. Won't get anybody. I'll get through by far. You'll hear the testimony. You be the judge, dear governor. The podcast listen and subscribe on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. H
