I started corresponding with prisoners on Florida's death row in 1997. I followed the lives of other death row prisoners in other states in the USA and Max Soffar was one of them.
Max apparently 'confessed' to the crime but there was no evidence to tie him to it except his own confession.
It seems there is a certain Paul Dennis Reid who may have been the real killer but Max does not have time on his side to experience the joy of being found innocent as the investigations and such drag on.
His story is sad and his impulsive behaviour caused him only trouble in his youth but I would say that, now he is dying, one could see them as mitigators to set him free.
