| Comments: | I just want to say after seeing all of this story, and listening to all of the perspectives, I agree that James is innocent of this crime. I am planning on writing some letters to see where I can get. What sort of world would this be if people we have never known did not show faith and compassion in us? James, wherever you are right now, I hope that you would keep in your heart, faith in people. There are those of us out there, that do not know you, that will fight for you in what ways we can. |

| Comments: | I have just seen your case on tv, I was astonished that so many people found you guilty when it was so obvious you were innocent. There are daily occurances all over the world where misguided and confused people confess to crimes they could never have committed, same as you when at a low and vulnerable point in your life, it is the responsibility of the police to prove that they actually did what they cofessed to. It's a shame but there are some areas and states in America 'Land of the free' (what a joke) which are still full of bigotry and narrow mindedness. Full marks for the TV producers for showing up the American justice system to be on a par with any of the other bad regimes in the world. Shame on America. |

I am sending some smoke and prayers up to the Creator for you and will keep in my daily prayers. I know that it is hard but keep your Spirit , You are Apache , you are strong , we are a strong people. It is just a matter of time before the truth will be heard and not on deaf ears , or a blind government |

| Comments: | Dear James:
I just watched your case on A&E's American Justice. It's very inspiring to see that there are people in the criminal justice system that are working on your behalf to see justice served. It saddens me that the state of Texas will not budge despite the fact that you could not have committed the crime. Having served as foreperson on 2 juries, I know that the opinions of forceful, passionate jurors sometimes overtake more discerning, intelligent jurors. Sometimes jurors simply go along with the others because they want to get back to their lives. Some just don't have a personal stake in the outcome, so they don't make the effort to really pay close attention to make the right decision. Some just don't STAND THEIR GROUND. It's a shame that if you are of modest socioeconomic status you are overlooked by politicians. Stay strong and know that there are people who support you. |

| Comments: | Hey Mr Reyos,
I cant believe what i just saw on A&E, it honestly did not seem like a guilty conviction.This is just unreal ,it really got me all riled up.I am sorry on behalf of the entire human race for what you have had to endure.The irony of it is that you had a full proof alibi, your confession was made under the influence of drugs and booze to even think that the case went to trial just goes to show how pathetic we are as a race. I know physically you are a free man but your soul seems to be still trapped by the injustice committed upon you.I hope everyone inlvolved is apologetic,even if not you but to God.God loves you and will explain what his purpose for all this was.Keep up the fight. |

| Comments: | Dear Mr. Reyos,
I know you know that a person's eyes are the mirrow to their soul; You look so gentle and innocent. I hope you are a believer in GOD because he is the only one that can break this wall of injustice. He can soften the hearts of all the criminals that put you there. If there was some way..... maybe e-mail...that we could all pray about this at one time, it would have a greater impact. It is ludicrous to put someone's life in the hands of twelve people that are all more than likely not followers of Jesus Christ. I pray that you have come to terms with your sexual orientation. Anyone with a half a brain would know that people are born this way; It's a flaw in the reproductive system of the human body..... no different than a genetic disease or being born blind or crippled. I don't believe that being born that way is the same thing that the Bible refers to sinful. All you have to do is take a look at Television today and see "Girls Gone Wild" to get the jist of what I'm saying. You are a tremendous human being and so is your father. I have faith that GOD can help you if it's his will. May GOD bless your soul. In Christ's Love, Joyce |

| Comments: | Dear Mr. Reyos,
Like so many others who have written to you, I have just now seen the A&E American Justice programme concerning your case. I am deeply disturbed that this injustice has continued against you, and can only offer my deepest sorrow, my thoughts, my prayers, and my support for you. My fervent hope is that your innocence will finally be recognised by those in authority, and that you will be completely exonerated, and the stain on your reputation removed. Until that time your character remains unbesmirched, your innocence unassailable. I remain, most sincerely yours, LaFiglia d'Aosta |

| Comments: | I was just made aware of this case by Scott Lomax, who responded to my email about my niece, Hannah Overton, who was wrongly convicted in Sept, 2007.
My heart is heavy with what I have learned about our justice system through Hannah's case and doing research on it. As one of Hannah's attorneys says, "in the war on crime, there is much collateral damage." Clearly Reyos' case is one of those. I hope the letters to the Governor have some effect. A group of over 20 pastors from Hannah's hometown petitioned the Governor to no avail. Those of us who are now aware of injustice in the system must continually raise our voices of concern and petition our legislators for more oversight of prosecutors, investigators, and judges. |

| Comments: | I have just watched James case on American Justice and am disappointed in the justice system for allowing this type of injustice. Why do politics seem to take precedence over justice. I hope and pray for James, and that, someday, he is found innocent - as he should be, according to the evidence.
Keep the faith James, Sincerely, Marlene. |

| Comments: | I was in shock by the time I had finished watching the American Justice profile of James' case. I kept waiting for the happy ending - for James' day of justice - and my mouth hung open when the episode ended without one. I am frightened by the apathy and ignorance that James has had to face and continues to face. Everyday that passes without justice for James Reyo is a shameful and embarrassing day for us all. I do wonder how the jury members live with their decision and I only hope it has been as painful for them as it has been for him. Their unwillingness to talk to American Justice makes me wonder how firmly they still uphold their own decisions. Their support for James now, although too late to save him from the hell he surely experienced while serving time, would certainly be an important step in the healing process for James Reyo and for all those who have been affected by his case. I give all my love to James, his family and all of his supporters. |

I am glad you are released. I pray you are declared INNOCENT by the ones who declared you guilty. You have many years ahead. Make them count. But know that even if you are never declared innocent...many know that you are...including Father Ryan. |

| Comments: | I have just fished watching your story on television and it really struck a chord. It saddens me that such a miscarriage of justice is possible; not just possible but altogether too common in the USA. Bigotry and homophobia can blind people to the truth, stealing someone's life in the process. I sincerely hope that justice will prevail for you and that you are wholly exonerated. Be strong and walk in Beauty. |

| Comments: | I also just recently watched the A&E story on James Harry Reyos. This was a TOTAL injustice of epic proprotions. I can't believe that Dennis Cadra, ADA, had the heart to look over the transcripts when he believed there might be a problem. Most men would have made him rot in prison before lifting a finger to help find someone innocent. He should be hailed a hero for trying to help an innocent man. I think that Senator Anne Richards just blew off this whole thing because it wasn't a popular topic for her to deal with and too many people (in gov't) might hassle her. I guess she never thought how many people would have admired her like Cadra, for doing the right thing. We teach our kids that making mistakes are not good but not fixing them and standing up for injustice is the only way to be and in this case the only people that didn't drop the ball were the defense attorney and Cadra. This man did a full 38 year sentence for something he didn't do. The jury must not have totally believed the prosecution since they gave the killer of Priest only 38 years and not Life. I hope they too are ashamed of themselves. I hope Reyos's conviction gets wiped from his record but even with that his life is screwed due to inexperience in the Police Dept and a Prosecutor just wanting to secure a fast conviction. |

| Comments: | Once again I watched the American Justice episode outlining your case. I just wish I was someone of influence, power or wealth so that I could somehow help you in obtaining your pardon. People need to know your case is a glaring example of a terrible and frightening problem that lies in our criminal justice system. I do know that everyone I know who has seen the episode or heard about your situation believes you are 100% innocent. |

| Comments: | I saw his case on the television and it made me wonder about the justice system. I am a believer that James Harry Reyos is innocent and that he did not have a fair trial. I also believe that the evidence was based solely on the fact that he called drunk and under the influence of drugs. If it were anyone else they would have pardoned them based on that information alone. I hope that he does end up with someone who can overlook that one phone call and he will be released and then can move on with his life... Best wishes for him and anyone who reads this.. |

| Comments: | Having just watched American Justice I was left aghast at how your case was handled.
I firmly believe that you are innocent and were caught up in the machinations of the "Justice system"-as well as some societal judgments and were wrongly convicted. I wish you well in your quest for exoneration. And all the best in your life, my friend. Raffie |

| Comments: | I just watched a rerun American Justice that was originally run in 2003, (wow, am I ever behind, huh?) I don't know what to say except that I fully believe in your innocence and hope some day the powers that be will fully exonerate you. You should not have had to pay for something stupid you did over 20 years ago, (making a false confession), as long as you have. Good luck in all your future endeavors, I wish the absolute best for you!! |

| Comments: | Dear James,
As I write these words, the A&E special airing your story is still being broadcast. I just couldn't wait for the program to end before reaching out. I actually feel hardpressed to let you know in light of all the adversity that you've experienced so far. I admire your tenacity and your resolve. Your innocence in my mind is beyond question. And in short. My thoughts and prayers are with you. That soon your innocence is declared, that you recieve a full pardoned by the state for their gross miscarriage of justice but that most of all, that the (dis-membered) wounded healer soon be soon made whole. Peace and blessings |

| Comments: | I just watched your story on A&E channel- I am so sorry your life ended up this way.
The evidence said you were 200 miles away- and there was NO way you could have made it back. The roads are tretuous, therefore you could not have driven 110 miles the whole way. And the evidence was all destroyed!! Who does that??? As for that, you should be free to live your life. How they can say you did this because you confessed IS to me very ridiculous. I think you have paid your debt - and then some. You Deserve your freedom!! Please remember there is much worse things than being gay. Being gay is nothing to be ashamed of. Good luck!! |

It's a shame that George Dubya "can't be bothered" enough to look into this, but god forbid he admit that a mistake was made by the great state of Texas!
Good luck and I wish you the best. Yours truly, A native american in Nevada. |

| Comments: | Here is are my questions James -
1. Did they ever test the hairs/DNA found at the crime scene with the hair/DNA of the mystery man who killed himself right before confession? 2. Did you ever identify the hitch hiker that you and the minister picked up. Did you ever see a photo of the mystery man who killed himself before confession. Because some speculate that the mystery man committed the crime I wonder if you were ever shown a picture of that person and if it he looked anything like the hitch hiker? I find it unusual that the minister just drove off without telling you he was leaving - perhaps the hitch hiker had threatened him. Also James - I wish you well in life - I pray that the years that the locus have eaten will be restored unto you. May you prosper and be in good health. Be proud of who you are. I will continue to pray for a full pardon. |

I truly hope, that the powers that be, right this wrong. I am saddened at how easily people can dismiss the truth, because of statements that are made under the influence of alcohol. I wonder if a straight white man, would have gotten the same deal. Good luck to you. |
