RELEASE CLARENCE WILLIAMSON III AKA MARK HOWARD B60163
ABOUT RELEASE MARK HOWARD B60163
Wrongfully Convicted.
Mark Howard has been incarcerated for over 20+ years for a Cook County Jail Brawl that happened on September 17, 1998, where one inmate was murdered. Mr. Howard has tried on numerous occasions to prove that he did not have anything to do with the murder. He has requested that DNA be done on a food tray to prove he did not hit the victim with the tray. Division 9 of the Cook County Jail is known for brawls and these incidents are continuing to happen to this very day.
Another inmate who actually committed the murder; confessed and did a radio interview with NPR in 2014 stating he was defending himself when he stabbed the victim basically admitting his guilt. Mr. Howard was found guilty under the Accountability Theory Act. Mr. Howard has made continuous requests for DNA testing to be done to prove he didn’t hit the victim. The coroner report states the victim was not hit with any object that he died from a stab wound to the back.
Mr. Howard has been fighting the battle to prove his innocence for many years. His adult life has been taken from him by systemic racism. Since his incarceration, his father died in 2008, his grandparents passed within the last six months which has been a tremendous loss to him. Mr. Howard needs our help; and desperately needs the State of Illinois, the Governor of Illinois, and the Parole Board to grant him release time considered served. Kim Fox, the States Attorney needs to review his case and do assist with the resolution of this situation. He was wrongfully convicted, and we need to petition for his release.
We pray that the Illinois Governor, Parole Board, and States Attorney read our pleads and grant him release with an opportunity to live his life without being behind bars for an “Act” that needs to be reassessed in the State of Illinois.
