A Plea For Help
I am Daniel Perry, Dennis Perry's older brother, I am an ex red beret from the 82nd airborne. I used to be the gung ho "die for our countries cause" kind of patriot, But I have changed because of this ridiculous attack on my innocent brother. I trusted the system before I was let down by john johnson, amanda williams, dale wesling & others. Since then my whole life has changed. I no longer trust the government. I am not sure how we can help here but some old trusting feelings are trying to surface. If there is anyone out there reading these things and you have some sort of influence in these matters you must act with all diligence to free Dennis Perry. This attack on our family was just as devastating as it was on the Swains, and now the true murderer scoffs at the justice system that can't seem to catch up to him. We as a country have rescued many. This is no different. Dennis is only one of many. Please check with the Innocence Project. The people they have freed were REALLY innocent. Prosecutors have a 98% conviction rate in this country.That is too near perfect for humans. Some of them brag they could convict an innocent, and then they do it! If you are reading this and you are an official in Camden Co. and not involved with this kidnapping of Dennis Perry, do all you can to bring down the evil regime in your county. Corruption cannot be tolerated. We all know people in power never really pay for their evil doings behind closed doors, but we as responsible citizens must at least relieve them of their responsibilities and free the innocent. I thank God every day I was able to move away from there. bill smith's father, who was a good man, is now turning over in his grave! That's all I have to sat for now. I love you guy's for helping, but please remember when you lay your head down tonight, where Dennis is laying his. Time is of the essence. Thank you.

Abstract
On March 11, 1985, a double homicide of a preacher and his wife occurred. An African American couple from Camden County Georgia were shot and killed. This case gathered national attention when it aired on Unsolved Mysteries in 1988. Actual eyewitnesses had a sketch artist draw four different composites at the time of the shooting. Key evidence was lost. Two detectives from Camden County Sheriff's Office stayed on this case for over eight years. Within one year of issuing $40,000.00 from confiscated drug money, an arrest warrant for Dennis Arnold Perry was issued on January 13, 2000, for the murders. Is this a case of mistaken identity, or possibly political gain? The motive is weak; the evidence is weaker. The jury on February 14, 2003, handed down a guilty verdict of two counts of murder. Is there an innocent man behind bars? You decide.
A Horrible Tragedy of Murder and Justice
On March 11th, 1985, Harold and Thelma Swain, from Camden County, Georgia were brutally murder. Harold Swain was a Preacher at the Rising Daughter Baptist Church. In the evening of March 11th, he and his wife were holding their usual Monday [Tuesday¹] night missionary meeting with at least eight other people. At approximately 9:15 p.m. One of the woman had to leave to go pick up her daughter from work. As she entered the vestibule area, a young white man, with light colored shoulder length hair, told her he needed to speak to someone, the man then pointed to Mr. Swain. When Mr. Swain entered he asked the young man what he was doing there. There was a scuffle heard from the sanctuary and Mrs. Swain went to see what was going on. The witnesses heard gunshots, then ran and hid in Harold Swains office. They attempted to call the police, but the phone lines had been cut. After twenty minutes passed, and not hearing anyone, the very frightened women felt it was safe enough to leave and summons help. When the police arrived, they entered a gruesome scene. Harold was shot four times, three times in the chest and once in the head. Thelma was shot in the upper right chest has she entered the vestibule (Shweid, B. 2003).
Harold and Thelma Swain, married over 43 years, were pillars of their small community. They were known for being happy, kind, sincere, and always there to help someone in need. Mr. Swain was a spokesperson for the black community, and stayed very active in the rural area. The citizens of the community could not understand why two wonderful people were gunned down in cold blood.
The first and lead detective to arrive on the scene was Joe Gregory, from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation(G.B.I.) He was able to get a detailed description from the lady who first left the church. The other women gave a description also, but had only got a glimpse of the man from a distance. The sketches had contradictions. One eyewitness told police he was wearing glasses. There were two pairs of eye glasses recovered from the scene. One pair was confirmed belonging to Harold, the other pair of glasses were never matched to anyone. Could the glasses belong to the killer? The other evidence found at the scene was a piece of hair, a shirt button, a Pepsi bottle, out in the parking area of the church; key evidence for the case to follow, except the Pepsi bottle turned up missing (Sloan, 2003), and blood splatters (thought to have belonged to only the Swains, so no sample was ever taken though it was obvious there was a struggle that ensued.) 3 Bill Smith, the newly appointed Sheriff to Camden County, had said he was a close and personal friend of the Swain's for a long time. Because the Rising Daughter Baptist Church was located in a rural area of Highway 17, in Waverly, GA, transients would stop in for a hand out, but never wanting to hurt anyone. At first glance that is what the detective thought. The eyeglasses found were not in good shape showing the person who owned them could not afford to fix them. More suspicions aroused when it was obvious Harold Swain was shot in such a way, that it looked like the young man that entered the church, knew exactly who he was. 2 (Unsolved Mysteries, 1988).
Another Theory developed. On July 5th, 1985 an officer made a routine traffic stop in Telfair County, Georgia. When the officer approached the car he discovered several weapons, including a . 25 caliber pistol similar to the one used in the slayings of the Swains. One man in the car was Donnie Barrentine. 4 Donnie's name was mentioned during the investigation of the murders; witnesses at a party in 1985 heard Mr. Barrentine. bragging that he could play God, and he could give life or end life if he wanted to just like he did to the black preacher and his wife at a church in Georgia. (Wilkes. 2001.) When confronted, he finally admitted making this statement; however, according to Donnie; he said a lot of things when he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol and stated he was not serious.
Donnie Barrentine was requested to be present in a line up. The woman at the church who saw the man that shot the Swain's, was unable to pick anyone out of the line up; however, she had no doubt in her mind that the same boots Donnie Barrentine was wearing were identical to the ones the man was wearing that night. The murder charge against Donnie Barrentine was never pursued. He was found guilty on weapons charges, and served time in prison for those charges brought against him. Because most of the witnesses at this particular party were drug addicts, alcoholics, and a known prostitute, their stories were deemed not creditable.
One year later, and still baffled by the case, Joe Gregory was going through some old files. Suddenly he came across a composite of a man that was a suspect wanted in Kansas for an armed robbery of a church. The description matched perfectly to one sketch given by the witnesses. The chances of that happening was extremely rare. When they contacted the Kansas police department, the police had no information to give to the G. B. I. Agent, all they could say was that he was a known transient. This lead was followed but they could never find the man so nothing ever came of this information. Three years later, Detective Gregory decide even if the killings were planned or premeditated, the crime still pointed to the transient (Unsolved Mysteries, 1988).
After the Unsolved Mystery show aired in 1988, and a reward of $10,000.00 was issued leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who committed the horrendous crimes, they received hundreds of leads regarding the Swain's murders. A lady by the name of Jane Beaver 5 called saying her daughter had dated a boy that resembled the composite sketch shown. The person she was referring to was Dennis A. Perry. According to sworn testimony given by now retired Detective Gregory at Dennis's trial in February 2003, all leads were followed and Dennis was excluded from the suspect list. He lived in Atlanta, Georgia at the time of the killings (Gregory, 2003). It was years later before any new developments would arise.
Dennis Perry's grandmother lived very close to where the Swain's were killed. In fact, she lived and still lives in a very small home in the African American Community of Camden County. Her neighbors on all sides of the street are black, and considered friends of their whole family. Dennis stayed with his grandmother for a while, where he was in fact dating Ms. Beaver's daughter; Carol Ann. He later moved to Atlanta with his mom, where he worked for a construction company. An older gentleman Mr. Charlie Williamson drove Dennis to work everyday because Dennis had no car. * Mr. Williamson was a construction worker at the same place Dennis worked back in 1985. When Mr. Williamson entered the courtroom in February 2003, the jury saw a frail, older looking man that had two or more strokes over the past fifteen years. He had retired from the construction industry. Witnessing the courtroom proceedings it might have been hard to go back in time when this man was healthy and strong from being on a construction site for many years. This was Dennis' alibi. Mr. Williamson under oath stated he drove Dennis to work the day after the shootings, and the day before. This would have prevented Dennis from being there because of the distance between Atlanta and Waverly Georgia. You must wonder how this man could have remembered such a thing. The mind is a box and people will always remember things.(Williamson, 2003)
According to Ms. Beaver's testimony and sworn affidavits,Mr. Swain's name was never mentioned by Dennis but she presumed it was Harold Swain Dennis was talking about. She also stated under oath that she contacted the police on several occasions after the Unsolved Mysteries show, but it was not until 1999 when someone finally took her seriously. This is when Sergeant Dale B. Bundy was assigned to the case full time. Seized drug money was allotted for the sole intent to put a man behind bars. Ms. Beaver also showed a picture [one picture] to one of the eyewitnesses. She went to the church and told them that Dennis was the father of her grand baby. There was never a baby. The boy in the picture with Dennis, was his baby brother (Umphrey, 1999). This issue was briefly mentioned at trial. When the eyewitness saw the picture, she nearly fainted because it did resemble the man who killed the Swain's. The fate of Dennis Perry was in Ms. Beaver's hand. Ms. Beaver also became Camden counties personal detective. Fifteen years later, and a one and a half second glance at the young man in the church, four different composites, no evidence, no murder weapon, and if the motive was money, why was there $300.00 left in Harold Swain's pocket? There is just too many unanswered questions.
On January 13, 2000, also Martin Luther King's birthday, a possible connection that this was a big election year for Bill Smith, the sheriff of Camden County, and the black population vote would keep him in office, Dennis Arnold Perry was arrested in Jacksonville, Florida for two counts of murder, a crime that carries a life sentence, or the death penalty, in Georgia. Mr. Dale Westling the attorney representing Dennis said, "It's the same set of eyewitnesses" he said. "If you couldn't identify someone 15 years ago, you sure can't now. (Jackson, Wakefield) Cathy Crier from court TV has done reports on eyewitnesses. On a recent show they did a test on eyewitnesses, two out of twelve people knew what the man was wearing seconds after he ran by them. She stated she wished every judge in America would see this and exclude eyewitness testimony. (Winphrey, 2003)
One must admit that the sketch does slightly resemble that of Dennis A. Perry, at the age he is today; however, the composite also looked like Donnie Barrentine, the transient from Kansas, and probably thousands of other men who are 5' 6" to 8''s tall, a slight build, with blonde sandy colored hair, in their early to late twenties, wearing or not wearing glasses. The hair, which forensics could finally do a DNA test on in 2001, did not match Dennis. Unfortunately, it did not match any of the other people's DNA. The defense attorney for Dennis, Dale Westling, called to have several other peoples blood drawn. The eyeglasses were also proven not to be Dennis' through an eye examination, and the examination of the lens's of the glasses. The Pepsi bottle, which may have left crucial evidence, was lost.
Dennis Arnold Perry's trial lasted one week, as the Judge had intructed the jury before it even began. Besides Jane Beaver's testimony, Sergeant Bundy, along with two other Jacksonville police officers stated that Dennis confessed to the crime (Testimony 2003). After several hours of questioning, Dennis refused to say anything without his attorney present, when leaving to go back to the jail, Sergeant Bundy told the other officers Dennis had something to say. When Dennis described to them what "he thought" might of happened, a robbery gone bad, The detectives took that has a confession. When they asked him to put it in writing, Dennis stated that they were putting words in his mouth (Testimony, 2003). The interview ended. You would think the detectives in with Dennis during this interrogation, especially on a double homicide that happened fifteen years earlier, that they should have been recording or video taping this entire interview. Even writing down a few notes would have been a good idea.None were ever taken.
With most circumstances described in this paper, and one week of hurry and get this trial over. Dennis Arnold Perry was found guilty of two counts of murder. The same day he was found guilty, Valentine,s Day, he was sentenced to twenty years. The death penalty conviction was over rode because he agreed, under pressure from his Attoerny's, after his guilty verdict, not to appeal this case. He was not allowed to speak to his family and get their opinion.The lawyers, told him, " you'll fry if you don't take this deal." Dennis, after years of of fighting and now loosing somehow, lost all hope and gave them what they wantd. He sighned their waiver under complete duress.
Dennis Perry is now serving his sentence in Autry State Prison in Pelham, GA. Dennis has already been in prison for over four years. Having his case in court again could take another five years. Unless someone out there listens and helps to set an innocent man free.
We can all hope that in our lifetime we do not look like someone that committed a horrible crime. If we end up in a position like this, then we better hope that we have millions of dollars to get a fair trial. If not you may end up in the same position Dennis is in.

Dear Rep. Mac Collins:
As a constituent, I applaud your vote in favor of HR 5107, the Justice for
All Act of 2004, which passed the House by a vote of 393-14. This bill,
which is the most significant crime bill of the 108th Congress, will help
make sure that the criminal justice system accurately identifies and
convicts the real perpetrators of heinous crimes and that innocent people
are not wrongly sentenced to death.
As you know, HR 5107 is a compromise bill which combines the Advancing
Justice Through DNA Technology Act (HR 3214/S 1700) with many provisions
from a victims’ rights bill that already passed the full Senate. HR 5107 is
a critical step in the right direction, and it balances the needs of all
participants in the criminal justice system — including those accused or
convicted of violent crimes and the victims of such crimes and their
families — by reducing the risk that the innocent are convicted while the
guilty remain at large.
HR 5107 will help prevent injustices demonstrated by the story of Kirk
Bloodsworth and the Hamilton family. In 1984, Kirk Bloodsworth was falsely
convicted of the rape and murder of nine-year-old Dawn Hamilton and served
nine years in prison – two of them on death row – for a crime he did not
commit. After fighting for years to prove his innocence, Kirk was
exonerated in 1994 by DNA testing. Even though Kirk was exonerated and
released from prison, a cloud of doubt followed him and the murder and rape
of a child remained unsolved, leaving the Hamilton family and the public
wondering if the perpetrator of this horrible crime could still be walking
the streets.
Ten years after Kirk Bloodsworth was exonerated, the same DNA evidence that
cleared his name provided a positive match that identified another man as
the perpetrator of the crime. On May 20, 2004, Kimberly Shay Ruffner
pleaded guilty to the murder of Dawn Hamilton, finally bringing some sense
of closure to the Hamiltons, and to Kirk Bloodsworth and his family.
Both Kirk Bloodsworth and Dawn Hamilton's family members were victims of
our broken criminal justice system. The Justice for All Act of 2004 is a
good first step toward addressing the problems that put Kirk Bloodsworth on
death row while a child rapist and murderer remained at large.
Thank you again for your support of HR 5107, which is an important step
forward for victims of crime, who want to be confident that the system
accurately identifies real perpetrators, and for innocent people, who might
otherwise be sentenced to death. P.S. My brother is an innocent in prison.
The state of Ga. has DNA that exonerates him, it was not allowed as
evidence in his court case! Please Help us!

2nd Letter
This is another letter written by Daniel Perry to government officals
(Judicial Power)
I would like to inform you of some things about what our forms of justice in this country has come to. We definitely convict innocent people and MOST are swept under the rug. And believe me, the real reason for this is because the government has too much power and a lot more money. Prosecutors brag about how a guilty person is easy to convict, the real challenge they say is to successfully convict an innocent person!! Can we all try to do something about this? Did you know that the Medical Examiners office is controlled by the District Attorney (prosecutor)? That the DA can fire him or cause him grief. It seems we must rely on complete honesty from the DA in charge right? We demand convictions from the Prosecutor and he is an elected official!! I think this sounds like a conflict of interest for anyone who just happens to be innocent and for whatever reason is caught up in the system. This is just one detail that seems to go unnoticed in this war on justice. We are convicting people like crazy in the name of justice, If you don't believe this look in the prisons. And believe it or not we are making Innocent Americans serve time. Prosecutors and detectives can keep their jobs if they get enough convictions. Are you getting this?
Do you know anyone that was wrongly convicted? No? For now I will give you a small list of a few. Keep in mind these people are on this list because of obvious mistakes Prosecutors, Police Detectives and the Judges make. Remember these are innocent bystanders: Frederick Daye-10 years served of a life sentence, Troy Webb-7 yrs. of a 47 yr. sentence, Charles Fain-18 yrs. of a death sentence, Hector Gonzalez-6.5 yrs. of a 15-life, Earl Washington-17 yrs. of a death sentence, A. B. Butler-16.5 yrs. of a 99 yr. sentence, Kevin Byrd-12 yrs. of a life sentence, Neil Miller-10 yrs. of a 26-45 sentence, Ray Krone-10 yrs. of a death sentence, Anthony Robinson-10 yrs. of a 27 yr. sentence, William Gregory-7 yrs. of a 70 yr. sentence.
I could go on with many more names but for now I will tell you that there are, I suspect, hundreds or maybe thousands of COMPLETELY INNOCENT people being held against their will right now in our American prisons! We do have innocence projects operating in a limited way today but they are held back mainly due to lack of interest by the American public and therefore not enough money and personnel to even get the attention a wrongly convicted person needs. And due to the media everybody thinks this guy is guilty see and should be left there and forgotten. Even if there is someone working on your case and there's D.N.A. involved, half of the cases you must sue the prosecutor for the right to see the evidence. Now do you see something wrong with this picture? The prosecutor should not control the evidence unless he has something to hide. It should be made public knowledge right? Well, I'm sorry Mr. American citizen you don't have that right!! Only about half of the states have passed laws giving inmates access to the evidence. There is federal legislation (not yet passed) that would guarantee post-conviction DNA testing in all states. But in 75% of the cases where DNA would determine guilt or innocence the evidence is lost or destroyed by the police or someone with the evidence. It seems that evidence care should be big business. Well, we all know who controls the evidence and it is not the Presumed Innocent. It is the same guy who must at all costs get a conviction to keep his job. Human nature alone says this guy is either perfect or he's going twist the truth or lie eventually to gain a conviction. I for one believe this is one of the main reasons that otherwise free and innocent people are horrified when they are CONVICTED. I hope they do not try to kill themselves and I hope they wait for us to do something about it.
Please help, we are in a race against time!! I will attempt to alert whom ever will hear this. When you vote please find out how the candidate feels about this subject. Because I believe this subject of Innocent Americans being attacked by the system is greater than national security!! I am sending this letter to all politicians that would receive it. If you would please take me seriously and send this letter to anyone by e-mail or otherwise we will reach the American public sooner. And as for the politicians who have received this letter consider yourself on notice in this matter and do something now or your going to be looking for a new job!
Sincerely,
Daniel Perry

Letter to Officials
The following, is a letter that Daniel wrote and sent to the Govenor,State Representitives and News Officials on behave of Dennis. We should all take example and start writing. Someone will take notice and help us.
* April 3,2003 *
To whom it may concern,
When I think of prisoners of war I think first of the poor guys that were unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But the POW's I'm thinking of were not in the wrong place, they were doing something that is gallant and brave. They are hero's. We must never forget them. You say, how could we ever forget them? Well, I don't think we will. We will do everything in our mighty power to gain their release, won't we? Even if we have to go half way around the world and spend 100 billion dollars doing it. I know first hand about these things because I was an 82nd Airborne Paratrooper and had to leave my comfortable place in the United States in service of my country. You see these POW's are innocent and deserve to be released. Can you imagine their horror? Can you try to think what you would do if you were in their place? It's kind of hard to do that, isn't it? You may think you can, but you can only try to convince yourself you would know. But you wouldn't know. These guy's and girls are thinking of their whole life and if they did everything they thought they would do. Is that not what you would think of? You would also think "oh my God in heaven please hear my prayers, please let me live!" "Let those one's trying to gain my release be successful in all their efforts." I promise you these are their thoughts!
You may be wondering what my point is in saying all of this. You see, I don't want to lose your attention. Prisoners of war are very important to us because we care, but what if we didn't care? Or worse yet, if we didn't know there were prisoners somewhere? I would say that there is something terribly wrong. Wouldn't you?... I thought so. I know of at least one prisoner that not very many people know about. He wasn't in the wrong place at the wrong time, he is gallant and brave though. I for one, will never forget him. He is a prisoner of a different war. The War of Justice. This is a war that is ongoing and has its own casualties. If you think you care you may need to think about that first, because it take's a lot of effort to get involved.
This man I'm speaking of is a man that was railroaded right to where he is like a lamb to the slaughter. He trusted all of us in the War of Justice to rescue him. But have you ever seen one of those movie's about one of those southern town's where everything seems to go their way? If you think that's only a movie or that's a thing of the past, you may need to look into this case of a prisoner of war, because apparently these things still happen. If I've lost your interest by now you may be one of those that is naive enough to think that these things could never go on, well it does in the case of Dennis Perry.
Dennis was accused of a double murder that happened 18 years ago. He was cleared in the very beginning by Joe Gregory, the investigator for the GBI, there was a picture line up of 12 people which included Dennis. It also included a guy that had bragged about doing the murders. The eyewitnesses of the murders picked the guy that was bragging, not Dennis. But Mr. Gregory did not stop there in trying to clear Dennis. He checked to see if Dennis was at work that day. Joe called Dennis' supervisor, he told Joe Dennis was at work pouring concrete until around 6 PM that day. Dennis worked in Atlanta. The murders happened in south Ga., 6 hr. away, about 8:40 PM!!!
After the witnesses picked the guy bragging, the sheriffs office, headed by sheriff Bill Smith, mysteriously let him go! Not only that, they also lost the picture lineup. In fact since then, the great sheriff has lost all the evidence related to the murders except one hair, which excludes Dennis 100% as a possible suspect! When asked on the witness stand how and why he no longer had any of the evidence his reply was quote unquote "I DON'T KNOW "!!!
During the 5 months before the trial, Dennis was offered several deals, the last being manslaughter eligible for parole in 40 months. The 40 month finished the day that Dennis was convicted! He would not take any deals! Yet he was convicted without any evidence in an 18 yr. old murder.
Bill Smith is still the sheriff in this town. I guess you should be very careful if you happen to pass through Camden Co. Ga. especially if you look like someone he wants to target for one of his unsolved crimes, he must be reelected you see! Ha Ha!
You see this largely unseen War of Justice going on in America was began long ago in order to protect our citizens, but it seems that it has actually overtaken some of our own, much like the war we are seeing now on our televisions, the difference being the amount of attention and care our politicians and citizens are showing in this war in our court system.
We do have innocent citizens in our prisons and I can prove it. There may be more than you think! If you thought for one minute I was telling you the truth you would be very angry, wouldn't you? I assure you if you would spend the time to do some checking you would find out. But why would anyone concern themselves if they didn't actually know the person they thought was innocent a prisoner somewhere? Do you personally know the POW's that were captured?... You see there is never a question about, will we do something about that, and there shouldn't be. You may not know Dennis, nevertheless a small amount of checking would let you know Dennis IS an innocent, brave & gallant POW.
I am asking for some attention in this matter of POW's in our own country, and I will send this letter to many important people, maybe some of your own constituents, I will keep a close record of who I send this to as a point of reference in the future so everyone will see who had an early warning of these atrocities that are going on in our courts.
Please spend your time and money to investigate this matter, just one innocent life is worth it! If you don't think so just ask Jessi Lynch!
I'm sorry for being so forward and assuming in this matter, but you see I've done some checking already, and I firmly believe there are more than 7 American POW's being held somewhere tonight!!!
Sincerely,
Daniel F. Perry Jr.

Tamarawwjd@aol.com
P.S. If you care about this matter contact me, we'll talk!
Now, if that doesn't get someone to listen then there are a lot of dead,uncaring souls in this world. We pray that isn't true. We pray for an ear,an eye,even a small voice.Someone to help us set Dennis free from this horror he has to live day in and day out.
We all have our seperate lives, as we've always known them. Oh yes, some of the family has past on. Dennis wasn't able to be there. He has had to miss out on so many..Birthdays,Anniversaries,Baby Births, Weddings and such.Yet the rest of us go on, day in and out. Forgetting that it is a priveledge to be FREE. Help us, set Dennis FREE.
