"THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EGREGIOUS EXAMPLES OF WRONGFUL
PROSECUTION I HAVE EVER SEEN."
**STEPHEN GRIMES, FORMER FLORIDA STATE SUPREME
COURT JUSTICE, in the Tampa Tribune**

An innocent man has spent over 36 years in prison, wrongfully
convicted of a murder he did NOT commit.

THIS BLATANT CASE OF INJUSTICE INVOLVES:

Coerced perjured testimony by convicted felons (unlawful in MANY states)
offered deals and freedom in exchange for their lies...

Corrupt Tampa police detectives with personal vendettas who arrested
Charlie three years after he was dropped from the investigation, possibly with
orders from 'above'...

The ONLY eyewitness that stood face-to-face with the shooter who swears
to this day that Charlie WAS NOT the person that shot Steve Bluffstone and actually
gave a physical description to police that does NOT match Charlie (SEE CASE FACTS
PAGE FOR A POLICE REPORT DESCRIBING THE SUSPECT)...

A cover-up by local police/and other officials with knowledge that the victim
was left lying bleeding for at least 45 minutes while negligent officers shot at and
chased a 'witness' to the shooting. The ambulance attendants were not allowed to
assist or transport the victim to a hospital until ordered to do so by the detective
who arrived on the scene; the direct result of this was the death of the victim nine
hours later from massive blood loss...

Corrupt prosecutors, cut from the same cloth as Mike Nifong of Duke University
Lacrosse Team infamy and Bill Peterson of Ida, Oklahoma as described in John
Grisham's non-fictIon book 'The Innocent Man', abuse their authority and public
trust by withholding exculpatory evidence, coercing perjury from convicted felons,
and granting "immunity from prosecution for murder" to the criminals actually
implicated in the crime - all in the name of adding another 'conviction' to their
career records (SEE 'CASE FACTS' TAB). These prosecutors (MARK OBER, et al...)
brought Charlie to trial 5 YEARS after the crime was committed. Two of the men
given immunity never spent a day in jail for their part in the crime...(SEE CASE
FACTS TAB)...

“Why is this INNOCENT man in prison?”
...is the question asked by intelligent and respectable people
who have closely examined the case of Florida prison inmate
Charles P. Norman...

"TO BE WRONGLY ACCUSED, WRONGLY CONVICTED, AND WRONGLY
IMPRISONED IS UNIMAGINABLE."
***(PAST) FLORIDA GOVERNOR CHARLIE CRIST***
TAMPA TRIBUNE, APRIL 4, 2008

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE IF
POSSIBLE...
CHARLIE IS GRATEFUL for his many
supporters that have made this
website possible showing their
unshakable belief that he IS innocent.
Most innocent prisoners languish in
prison with no advocates to be able to
take action on their behalf. Our
thoughts and prayers go out to those
prisoners AND their families who are
also victims of an out-of-control
judicial system.

"Persons accused of a crime under our
system of justice occupy a well-known
position at law. For conviction, the state must
prove them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
In Charlie's case, there is not merely
reasonable doubt. There is overwhelming
doubt...
"A better case for executive clemency
would be hard to find."

A Rare Plea For A Florida Convict"
