TAMPA - A death row inmate set to die in 48 hours sent a final plea for his life to ABC Action News.

Amos King has been on death row for 25 years, longer than anyone else in Pinellas County. In 1977, King was convicted of the brutal rape and murder of Tillie Brady from Tarpon Springs.

Last December, Governor Jeb Bush stayed King's execution, largely due to an Action News investigation raising questions about Brady's autopsy report. Action News investigator Mike Mason exposed several cases where former medical examiner Joan Wood wrongly accused men of murder.

Because Wood performed the autopsy on Tillie Brady, Amos King sent Action News a tape-recorded plea for help, insisting Joan Wood got it dead wrong on his case too.

"My lawyer referred to Dr. Wood's work in my case in 1981 as voodoo pathology," King said.

In his reports, Mike Mason exposed major flaws in two of Wood's autopsy reports, which led to fathers being wrongly accused of killing their own children.

Dr. Joan Wood's apparent mistakes were the center or a series of ABC Action News investigations late last year.

King's attorney, Peter Cannon, said he hopes the reports will once again help convince the governor to stay King's execution.

"We saw that there was a pattern that was emerging. We had suspected there was something wrong with Dr. Wood's findings, but what we saw after your stories was a pattern of misconduct and incompetence by a public servant, and she shouldn't be trusted by anybody," said Cannon.

Since our reports, two former medical examiners have reviewed Wood's autopsy of Tillie Brady and found problems including "convenient loss of physical evidence," like Brady's rape kit test results. There was also inconclusive DNA testing, most recently in the last few months.

"The now infamous former medical examiner Dr. Wood committed perjury repeatedly in both my initial 1977 trial and 1985 re-sentencing trial. I'm to be executed on her testimony February 26, 2003, at 6 p.m.," King continued. "The judicial system has failed. No just execution can be had on missing evidence. I'm an innocent man."

Mike Mason is set to interview King on Tuesday. He has not been allowed to give an interview on-camera for more than a year.
