Letter to Illinois Prison Review Board

BOX 28, HQMC, OLA

To: Prison Review Board of Martin Ray Williams
Illinois State Board of Corrections
I am the grandson of Robert Jackson and a U.S. Marine stationed aboard Henderson Hall, Virginia. Once a year, I am forced to remember a man who participated in an unjust and unprovoked killing. Martin Williams assisted Donald Grant in the murder of my Grandfather, Robert Jackson in 1976. Then, Martin Williams called my Grandmother, Marybelle Jackson, at St. Francis Hospital to check on my Grandfather's status as he was dying. Martin Williams then had the audacity to brag about "doing something, but not getting caught by the cops" to a family friend that he had the misfortune to work with. Martin Williams was arrested after this family friend went to the police department. Last year, Martin Williams had the nerve to call my Grandmother from prison. Martin Williams has continually demonstrated that he has no regrets about his past, nor any respect for the life he ended and the family left behind.
Parole for Martin Ray Williams would mean needless suffering for another family; a family he has yet to scar with his brutality. He has done enough to warrant execution, yet he is close to parole this year and I am asking why? What is a human life worth to the State of Illinois in 1993? Apparently not as much as it is worth to the Jackson's, the Landrith's, the Morgan's, and the Finn's. Martin Williams is neither innocent nor sorry and above all he is not worthy of parole, let alone life itself. To parole Martin Williams is to condone the murder of my Grandfather, Robert Jackson. I promise you that if Martin Williams is paroled this year, the Illinois State Board of Corrections will see him again. This time it will be a different family and a different atrocity, but that is all in your hands. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES A. LANDRITH, JR.
