Dustin Higgs is a Maryland based artist on Death Row for a crime he did not commit -

He was convicted and sentenced to the federal death penalty as an accomplice to the 1996 murders of Tanji Jackson, Tamika Black and Mishann Chinn. It was the first federal death sentence handed down in Maryland in the modern era.

Dustin was not the person who actually shot the three women. Nor was he an accomplice. In fact, it was Willis Haynes who pulled the trigger, and he was sentenced to life in prison plus 45 years after a separate jury spared him the death penalty for the crime. With the resumption of federal executions in 2020, Dustin's life is at serious risk.

He is sentenced to be excecuted on Jan 15. 2021. 3 days before MLK Day and just 5 DAYS BEFORE THE NEW FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION IS PUT IN PLACE

do you remember me?

look, look what’s here. i thought i’d lost this, but it’s been here all along.

i’ll have nothing to do with it. do you hear me? not a thing to do with it.

you slept all day. you needed it.

home is someplace to go back to when you’re tired of being out living.

you all right, honey?

it’s our home now. nobody else’s. ours.

you never expect things. you forget that things can happen, but they do. 

nobody calls me that, shitface.

it’s here, there’s something underneath the house that’s scratching to get in.

you bastard. 

i’ve been thinking. i want to talk with you.

you take a nap this afternoon. you’re really wiped out. 

that’s when my wanting changes shape, from pointed, sharp, direct, and so near to the surface and the almost-said, into the soft, almost unsayable and numb.

i woke up when you wanted a glass of water. i held your sweet warm head when you drank. you slept through it all and were dreaming again by the time i left your room. 

hey, come on, isn’t this the part of the movie when we’re supposed to say, “this is the life”?

the loneliest i ever was, was when i was with you.

it’s like when you’ve been shouting and shouting and shouting in a nightmare and you think you’ve been awake, but it’s all been in your sleep and then you finally shout aloud.

now don’t cloud up and rain.

do you remember this?

all i ever wanted was one good, loyal love.

we’re sorry, the number you have dialed has been disconnected. please check the number and try again.

did my mother look at me? or hold me? did she carry me?

well, everyone likes chocolates.

there’s no again, no going back. you learn to live with what you have. you learn how to forget.

you can do it. just try to reach me.

the dream i’m having is of home.

hey, it’s no big deal. don’t make it such a big thing.

all of this happened only moments ago, but i think of it with the kind of sadness you feel for something long, long ago that you can’t have again but you tell yourself you’d really want to if you could.

just like me a little, you only have to be my friend for a while.
