AFFIDAVIT
I, Leon Douglas, having been du1y sworn or affirmed, do hereby depose and say:
My name is Leon Douglas, De# 541168. I am currently incarcerated at Madison Couectional Institution.
On June L2009. I testified in Broward County in the case of Marek v. State in regards to my knowledge of an individuall knew as Raymond Wigley.
During my testimony I was asked to describe Wigley, and I described him as best as I could remember.
I have now reviewed a transcript of my testimony. In the transcript, I am attributed withdescribing Wigley as a black male. I am sure the transcript is inaccurate. I am well aware that Raymond Wigley was a white male. I cannot imagine ever describing him as a black male unless I misspoke. I know that if asked what was Wigley's race, I wou1d have stated he was white.
Prior to my testimony I identified Raymond Wigley's photograph to both Investigator Daniel Ashton and Attorney Linda McDermott. The photograph was of a white male who was the Raymond Wigley that I knew.
