I Wrongly Confessed To the Murder
Shortly after my arrest, I did under extreme pressure to avoid the death sentence; I make a confession to the killing. I did not know was that the victim had been raped and what I said in the confession did not agree with most of the evidence. There was no DNA testing at that time that would have proven me innocent. This confession was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, one that has caused me to be wrongly incarcerated for a crime I did not commit.
I feel very definitely that Raymond Payne should have his DNA tested and given a change to prove his innocence.
