The following is from
a letter, dated December 15, 1990, from a friend of James', regarding his
artwork and the case against him.
"I am enclosing nine
photos of James' paintings, also his bio and copies of a few of his eighteen
copyrighted poems. Since 1979 James has been on Death Row in San Quentin.
He was convicted then of the murders of two white women. James is afro
american. He was 26 then and now is 37. (45 years
of age in 1999) James appealed his death sentence
and got a new trial. The 1979 jury was improperly instructed that they
should vote for the death penalty cause the governor could commute his sentence
to life and they would not necessarily have the killing of James on their
concience. The real murderer is now in Indio, CA, re testifying against
James. His name is Fred Anders. He is 44 years old, he is the
brother of Sheila, Sheila was 19 then and had left home to be with James.
Her family was outraged. Sheila is white. Fred so hated James
that he accused him of murders that he himself committed. The women
were murdered in an Indio Citrus grove, the weapon was a rope which the police
found part of in Fred Anders coat. When asked how it got there, he said,
"I don't know".
James has a very difficult attorney who does not want any publicity
done on the case. His attorney is also returning to the court after
having lost one death penalty case, the only one he tried. Today began
the second week of the trial.
James has done over 30 acrylic abstracts and also has 18 copyrighted
poems. His poems and paintings maifest many concepts, all woven around
the dream of equality and freedom. They are part of the beginning
wave of revolutionary art, such as the art that you are pursuing and have
developed. If you can be of help, of course all will be appreciated."

Mr. James Anderson
PO Box C11400
San Quentin Prison
San Quentin, CA 94974
Dear Mr. Anderson:
I am writing to let you
know that as of today I am officially no longer the mitigation investigator
in your case. I am sorry it took so long to be in contact by phone;
however, I needed Mr. McAlister to have any necessary information so that
he and CAP may continue their legal work on your behalf. I have referred
Mr. McAlister to other investigators from Ohio and he will be pursuing
those options. I encourage you to provide him with any relevant information
about your life that you think might have been helpful for a jury to hear
in your case. I beleive this may be helpful in lieu of an investogators
trip to San Quentin. Anything you will be able to do to help the next
investigator will be well worth the effort I'm sure, Mr. McAlister can use
any assistance he can get at this juncture.
I am glad we had a chance
to speak to you. While this was an unusual turn of events (from my
point of view) I believe we have made some progress. There is much
that could have and should have been done in your case. I wish you
much success in forthcoming court dates. I have also notified your
brother and sister of the transfer of your case. Best wishes for a
successful outcome. Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Coconis, MSW
Mitigation Investigator
