        or asked any questions about Michael's character. I did not even know that the trial
        was being held. If I had been asked to testify during the punishment phase of

       "My name is LaTisha Carmichael. I have personal knowledge of the matters
       contained in this affidavit and I do swear that they are true and correct. I have
       known Michael Perry for many years. I have always known him to be a hard worker
       and helpful. He helped raise his nieces and nephews, and helped his mother with
       her house. After he graduated from high school, Michael got a job as a truck driver
       and did well at that job. I know he had problems in the past but since 2009 I saw
       him go to church and work on the Usher Board. He wanted to turn his life around.
       He also helped me when my father was very sick in the hospital. He would go visit
       with him and play dominoes and try to cheer him up until he passed away. I was
       not contacted by Michael's trial attorney prior to his trial or asked any questions
       about Michael's character. I did not even knowthat the trial was being held. IfI had
       been asked to testify during the punishment phase of Michael's trial in his behalf I

       BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared Michael Wayne

Perry, who being by me duly sworn, upon oath deposes and says:

       "My name is Michael Wayne Perry. I am the Defendant in this case and I have
       personal knowledge of the statements made in this affidavit and I swear under
       oath that they are true and correct. Charles Roach was my attorney in my jury trial.
       Mr, Roach ney^rialked to.„me,pniorto                                                           ,,
       asked me about the case. I did not even know that it was going to trial until the
       day of the trial. My attorney never asked for the names or information about
       anyone who could testify for me on punishment. If he had asked or talked to me
       about itI knew of several people whowould have testified for me. One wasa pastor
       at my church who could have testified about my work there, and how I went to
       bible school and retreat. There was also people I had worked for and an apartment
       manager where I lived. I was never asked for those names or I would have given
       them to Mr. Roach and information on how to find them. He didn't seem interested
       in.gettjng anything from me except a guilty plea.I believe these people would have
      /testified that I was a hard worker who held a steady job as a truck driver, that I was
    J-active in church work and helped out there with the Usher Committee, and that I
     \was-a good tenant at my apartment. I believe my sentence might have been less if
     •tfre jury/had heard some evidence from witnesses for me. My attorney should have
       at least tried to find some of them. He didn't even try to put on a case for me or
       find out ifI had any witnesses to put up."

                                                                                          # wn&qa

       Michael get along well with the people of our church, and I know that he was
       gainfully employed as a truck driver for years. Michael attended Bible School at the
       church and was an active participant in class. I believe he demonstrated a sincere
       belief and a genuine love for God and people. He would always help out at the
       church when he could. He attended the men's retreat and the brotherhood
       fellowship. He also ushered on our Usher Board. I believe Michael was trying hard
       to turn his life around and he attended the noon prayer meeting every Tuesday
       until his arrest. I believe he deserves mercy. I was not contacted by Michael's trial
       attorney prior to his trial or asked any questions about Michael's character. I did
       not even know that the trial was being held. If I had been asked to testify during
       the punishment phase of Michael's trial in his behalf I would have been happy to

        talked for a very short time. At that time the attorney did not ask me for arty
        information about people who might testify about Michael's character during his
        trial. I didn't even know about the trial until shortly before it was held. I asked the
        attorney to call me back but he never did. If the attorney had asked me for the
        names of people who could testify for Michael I could have given him several
        names including our church pastor and apartment manager but I was never asked
        to give any information like that for Michael's trial. I believe there was information
        and witnesses that could have testified in Michael's behalf if they had been
        contacted by the attorney prior to the trial."
