My name is Gary Wade Williams, #938038.  I am currently housed at Airways Heights Corrections Center, in Airway Heights, Washington.  I am a White male, 51 years old.

I have been continuously incarcerated since June 1982 for 1st Degree Murder.  I am ACTUALLY and FACTUALLY INNOCENT of this charge.  I am an INNOCENT MAN, wrongfully convicted and have been incarcerated approximately 27 years.  My issues are quite complex and I will try and stay as brief as possible.

One of the numerous egregious constitutional violations, which took place during my trial is the following:

A Non-American Citizen was allowed to remain on my jury, and was instrumental in my conviction.  I fully believe this is a case of FIRST IMPRESSION.

During the course of my trial, a member of the jury acknowledged to the Court that he was a Non-American Citizen.  That, in fact, the JUROR was a JAMAICAN CITIZEN.  The Trial Court allowed the JAMAICAN CITIZEN to remain on the jury.  This is the only known case that I am aware of in American history.

It is my contention this issue is of such constitutional significance that it could not be waived by the trial court.  Due to the fact the JURY was UNCONSTITUTIONAL EMPANELED, the verdict should be VOID.  Therefore, this would deny the trial judge the AUTHORITY or JURISDICTION to sentence me.

Due to the aforementioned facts, a new Rule 32 brief could be filed in Circuit Court.  Since the VERDICT IS INVALID ON ITS FACE, THERE ARE NO TIME BARS.  In addition, since a MANIFEST INJUSTICE has occurred, the successive petition rule does not apply.

The Non-American Citizen is clearly one of FIRST IMPRESSION.  I believe that an attorney that could prevail on this issue could receive national attention in the media, if they chose to do so.  Please take a few moments of your time and research it for yourself.  Hopefully you will agree that I am correct.  I have researched the issue all the way back to the 1890’s.  There is no case law, State or Federal statutes that allow this to take place.  Never in the history of the United States has it happened.

A Non-American Citizen being allowed to serve on my jury has breached the very walls that SAFEGUARD our constitution.  It should shock the conscious of any American Citizen, to know that such a travesty of justice was allowed to happen almost 27 years ago; then continued to be ignored because of procedural defaults and the fact this defendant cannot afford competent legal representation.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
