Family members and friends of 

Kris Helton say,

 "FREE KRIS NOW!" 

 Free Kris now? Why? Well, we believe that "fundamental    fairness" dictates that when an individual, like Kris, presents what the federal courts have repeatedly found to be "inviolable" and "persuasive" proof of his innocence, he or she should not remain incarcerated for the rest of his or her life -- or even be executed -- for a crime he or she did not commit just because his or her attorney failed or neglected
to comply with some purely procedural technicality. See Steve Marshall,
On Deadline: What others are reporting, Late legal filings a matter of life and death, USA Today, Mar. 13,2009, at 3A (reporting that the Houston Chronicle "said defense lawyers failed to meet federally mandated filings for six inmates who were subsequently executed and that three [other] inmates lost their federal appealsbecause of botched filings").

Afterwards, if you believe -- like us -- that an individual ought to punished for what he or she actually did wrong, not for what his or her attorney failed or neglected to do, you may offer your opinions, ideas, suggestions, help, assistance, and support by simply clicking on the Contacts category. greatly appreciate the fact that you did take a few minutes to carefully read this
Introduction while considering Kris' plight.
