A prosecutor said he would oppose the motion for a new trial for Robert Nelson Drew because the co-defendant’s con fession contradicts previous statements. A jury in Houston convicted Drew, 24, of capital murder in the Feb. 21, 1983, stabbing death of Jeffrey Leon Mays, 17, of Birmingham, Ala. Drew was sentenced to death by injection. A hearing on the motion for a new trial for Drew was sched uled for April 13. Drew, meanwhile, remains on Texas death row near Hunt sville. A co-defendant in the case, Ernest Purleaswski, 33, of Chi cago, originally was charged with capital murder but pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of murder after Drew was convicted. He received a 66-year sentence. Ronald Kube, an associate of New York civil rights lawyer William Kunstler, who rep resents Drew, said Purleaswski signed an affidavit March 28 in which he admitting killing Mays and exonerated Drew of any wrongdoing. “I alone committed the mur der of Jeffrey Mays,” the affida vit said. “Robert Drew did not assist me in any way. I will tes tify that I alone committed the murder of Jeffrey Mays... Rob ert Drew is innocent.” “My only concern in this mat ter is to clear my conscience by preventing an innocent person from being executed for my ac tions,” Purleaswski’s statement said. “What’s incredible is that Drew was sentenced to death, which could have been carried out,” Kube said. “It’s lucky that we got this four months after his trial rather than four years.” Assistant District Attorney Eric Hagstette said the state would oppose a new trial for Drew because Purleaswski has changed his story. “This is different from what he’s said in the past and he’s given us two statements in the past,” Hagstette said. Hagstette said the state could not prosecute Purleaswski for Mays’ death because he has al ready pleaded guilty to a re duced charge in the same case. The law prohibits a person from being tried twice for the same crime. “We cannot touch him. He has nothing to lose ... he might help Drew, but it just rings false to us,” Hagstette said. Prosecutors claimed Mays, who was traveling to Houston in search of work, was killed after he gave Drew and Purleaswski a ride along Interstate 10. Drew was picked up in Layafette, La. Purleaswski was picked up in Beaumont. JN THE UNDERGROUND Sbisa Basement Popcorn Special Friday 3/30/84 - Thursday 4/5/84 450 for a 16oz. bag OFFER GOOD TO THE LAST BAG ‘The Best Food.
