Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, Florida CFO Jeff Atwater, Florida Commissioner Adam Putnam, Flor Office of Cabinet Affairs The Capitol Tallahassee, FL 32399 Dear [Attorney General Pam Bondi] [CFO Jeff Atwater] [Commissioner Adam Putnam] I am writing to ask you to recommend to Governor Rick Scott that Felix Garcia be granted Clemency. New evidence has made it clear that Mr. Garcia, a deaf man framed for murder, has been unjustly held in prison for more than three decades. Felix’s story of unjust imprisonment by Florida authorities has been put into the national spotlight by James Ridgeway, one of America’s premier investigative journalists, in an article for Mother Jones. It is time for you to act on this new evidence. In 2006, Frank Garcia, Felix's brother, finally confessed in court that Felix had nothing to do with the murder and armed robbery of Joseph Tramontana in Hillsborough County on August 3rd, 1981. Frank’s 2006 testimony stated outright that the crimes had been committed by himself and Ray Stanley alone, and that Felix "had nothing to do with it." During the 1981 trial, Frank, his sister Tina, and Tina’s boyfriend (Ray Stanley) conspired to lie under oath that Felix killed Tramontana. The three of them planned the crime together and then took advantage of Felix's deafness to pin the crime on him. There is overwhelming reason to believe that Felix Garcia, who entered jail in 1981 at the age of 19, is innocent. Frank’s fingerprints were found at the scene of the crime, while eyewitness testimony puts Felix five miles away, watching a movie and eating pizza at his girlfriend's house. Physical evidence proves this: Felix signed a receipt for a pizza that was delivered to his girlfriend's house at the time of the crime. Furthermore, Felix's girlfriend and her mother testified in court that Felix was with them that night.

Tallahassee, FL 32399

Dear [Attorney General Pam Bondi] [CFO Jeff Atwater] [Commissioner Adam Putnam]

I am writing to ask you to recommend to Governor Rick Scott that Felix Garcia be grantedClemency. New evidence has made it clear that Mr. Garcia, a deaf man framed for murder, hasbeen unjustly held in prison for more than three decades. Felix’s story of unjust imprisonment byFlorida authorities has been put into the national spotlight by James Ridgeway, one ofAmerica’s premier investigative journalists, in an article for Mother Jones. It is time for you toact on this new evidence.

In 2006, Frank Garcia, Felix's brother, finally confessed in court that Felix had nothing to do withthe murder and armed robbery of Joseph Tramontana in Hillsborough County on August 3rd,1981. Frank’s 2006 testimony stated outright that the crimes had been committed by himself and Ray Stanley alone, and that Felix "had nothing to do with it." During the 1981 trial, Frank,his sister Tina, and Tina’s boyfriend (Ray Stanley) conspired to lie under oath that Felix killedTramontana. The three of them planned the crime together and then took advantage of Felix'sdeafness to pin the crime on him.

There is overwhelming reason to believe that Felix Garcia, who entered jail in 1981 at the ageof 19, is innocent. Frank’s fingerprints were found at the scene of the crime, while eyewitnesstestimony puts Felix five miles away, watching a movie and eating pizza at his girlfriend'shouse. Physical evidence proves this: Felix signed a receipt for a pizza that was delivered to hisgirlfriend's house at the time of the crime. Furthermore, Felix's girlfriend and her mother testifiedin court that Felix was with them that night.

Nonetheless, during the 2006 review of Felix’s case, a judge denied freedom for Felix, statingthat he "couldn't discern the truth." His confusion rested on the one piece of physical evidencelinking Felix to the crime, a pawn ticket (for Tramontana’s pinky ring) which Frank asked Felix tosign because Frank told his brother that he "forgot his ID." Frank’s 2006 testimony, however,makes it clear that the pawn ticket is irrelevant.

In your consideration of whether to recommend clemency for Felix after 32 years of unjustimprisonment, please consider that at the 1981 trial, Felix was not given the properaccommodations due a deaf person. As a result, Felix understood very little of what wassaid. Worse, in the 30 years since then, Felix has suffered the physical and mental abusecommon among deaf inmates: rape, isolation, and neglect.

Please recommend that Felix Garcia be granted clemency. Please do not thwart justice bykeeping an innocent man in prison any longer. Let Felix have his life back.

Sincerely,

confessed to framing his brother Felix in writing and incourt, and yet Felix is STILL in prison seven years later.But what makes it truly, egregiously, outrageously horrific,is that Felix is functionally Deaf, and like other such menand women in prison, his Deafness has been denied -when not outright exploited - by our glorious justice systemfrom the day he was arrested. He has been deniedinterpreters and even batteries for his hearing aids,laughed at when attempting to communicate, frightenedinto a desperate suicide attempt by guards, and raped.This. Is. Not.

because it could have been one of my family membersbeing unjustly jailed. This is a complete failure of ourjustice system that should have been so blatantly obviousat the time, but somehow it wasn't. Mr. Garcia should befreed immediately based upon this new evidence and moreimportantly, due to the lack of him being afforded theopportunity and ability to defend himself against thesefalse charges. I stand with all those who support thatpersons who are Deaf or hard of hearing should never betried without the clear ability to communicate and defendthemselves against any and all claims made against them.To do otherwise is complete madness andunconstitutional.

for him while at polk ci. He had discussed this with him indetail and was very surprise to heat that it finally made hecourts. After listen to him and then reading up on Felix I feltthat I should support him. Must be bad to be in there forbeing guilty but being innocent that must must be reallybad.

Name From Comments768. Norma Jean

FlinchbaughRed Lion, PA He has rights as a person with a disability under the ADA.

It is hard to believe that an injustice like this is stillhappening in 2014. He should be released immediatelywith no more questions asked. He should also becompensated by the state for wrongful conviction andimprisionment. A deaf organization should make sure thathe gets a good job as soon as he is free. God bless youFelix Garcia.

769. Lucas Rasper Brooksville, FL There was no interpreter present in the court room. thiswould be like trying a person who did not speakenglish.outrageous! this is yet another example of ourdisgusting pathetic joke of a manure pile that we call theunited states justice system.the real criminal are the judgespolice,lawyers district attorneys, probation officers and theentire probation system. all forms of law enforcement are aabsolute moron fest.Each individual who chooses thededicate their life to this system is truly a foul person thatshould not hold any form of job where they have theopportunity to affect others in any way shape of form.

770. Jennifer Huber brooksville, FL how sad this is. I hope the judge and court can not sleep atnight. They are the ones who should serve 2 life sentencesand cover their mouths with duct tape and remove theirears and try to defend themselves alone.

Without an interpreter they can not communicate withhearing people, thus it is easy to understand how theycould be falsely incriminated.
