Statement

While most people spend their 20’s discovering themselves and settling on plans for their future, I have been in prison battling to overcome a wrongful conviction. Throughout this entire ordeal I have maintained my innocence and conducted myself with dignity and patience while the slow wheels of (in)justice turn. I am now in my mid 30’s. With the support of my wonderful family and dear friends, I am closer than ever to my freedom.

As a poet and artist, I draw on my memories of the past, point of view in the present, and dreams for the future. It is a constant communication with time and space interpreted in a language which can be described as the “calm in the chaos”.

A former vandal of the graffiti scene, I have always attempted to create art for one purpose – to claim my EXISTENCE!!! I am a son, a brother, an uncle, and a loving friend. Those who know me well know that I am also a fighter who refuses to live any way other than OUT LOUD!

Let my art speak to you and you will hear my voice.



Eduard Ramirez Exonerated on 11/30/2023

Eddie Ramirez endured 27 years of incarceration in PA for a crime he did not commit. There was no physical evidence that connected Eddie to the crime. The DNA found at the scene of the crime was not Eddie’s. Eddie’s constitutional rights were violated because the Prosecution withheld from the Defense multiple pieces of evidence which would have benefited Eddie’s case.

Eddie steadfastly fought against the injustice he was experiencing. With the support of his family and friends who stood by him throughout his struggle during the past 27 years, Eddie Ramirez has won the freedom that was stolen from him in 1996.

The Court vacated Eddie’s sentence and the Philadelphia D.A. declined to retry the case. Eddie is exonerated.
