Members phkrause Posted September 8, 2011 Members Posted September 8, 2011 Last I knew is that he did get out a while ago. And if I'm not mistaken he's been writing for our magazines, even before he was released. Quote phkrause Read Isaiah 10:1-13

Guest Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Did he get converted in prison, or was he already SDA? Quote
Members phkrause Posted September 10, 2011 Members Posted September 10, 2011 Did he get converted in prison, or was he already SDA? If I'm not mistaken he already was an Adventist. Quote phkrause Read Isaiah 10:1-13
Guest Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks pk. And he didn't do the murder? Quote
Members phkrause Posted September 10, 2011 Members Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks pk. And he didn't do the murder? Yes, according to him, needless to say I believe him. And not because he's an adventist. I have his book "Beyond Prison Walls" its really good. Its been many years since I've read it. I probably should read it again to recall all the details. :) Quote phkrause Read Isaiah 10:1-13
Moderators John317 Posted September 10, 2011 Moderators Posted September 10, 2011 He was SDA before he was convicted of murder. Then he was released until he was convicted again at his second trial. While he was out, he appeared on 3abn and told his story. I haven't heard that he was released since his second conviction. I would think that if he was released he would have appeared on 3abn again. Does anyone here know for sure? Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

But can't say for sure. Quote phkrause Read Isaiah 10:1-13
Moderators John317 Posted September 10, 2011 Moderators Posted September 10, 2011 This is unrelated to the murder charge. It concerns his earlier conviction for illegal wiretapping. Quote: Jeris E.

Have not heard that he has been put back into prison since than. But can't say for sure. I think 1992 was before his second trial, pk. Does it say anything about his second trial? I know that he had a second trial sometime in the middle to late 90s, and that he was convicted at that trial. I don't know what happened to him after that. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Moderators John317 Posted September 10, 2011 Moderators Posted September 10, 2011 Doesn't Jeris Bragan say that he took the blame for the murder of a business partner because he believed his wife actually committed the crime? That's what I seem to recall but since I never read his book, I don't know any of the details. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

He does mention that the prosecutors had it in for him. So maybe its from this charge of wire tapping. Like I mentioned to Richard I probably need to reread the book.

Moderators John317 Posted September 10, 2011 Moderators Posted September 10, 2011 Sure did, and convicted both times. That's a fact. What I'm trying to do now is find out whether he is still in prison after that second conviction.

LifeHiscost Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Speculation is that his wife killed the guy and he's taking the rap for it? BTW, ClubV12, your signature needs some expaining, IMO. Righteousness by faith, simple as ABC. The acronymn ABC refers to Ask, Believe, Claim. When those are put into practice, the works come as a natural outworking of the inward presence of Jesus through the Holy Spirit. "To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Colossians 1:27 NKJV Pardon the interruption. Quote Lift Jesus up!!
Members phkrause Posted September 10, 2011 Members Posted September 10, 2011 Speculation is that his wife killed the guy and he's taking the rap for it? You mean "took" the rap. I don't buy that, and really haven't heard that either. Quote phkrause Read Isaiah 10:1-13
Moderators John317 Posted September 10, 2011 Moderators Posted September 10, 2011 After Bragan was released in 1992, he became the interim pastor of the SDA church in Jackson, Tennessee. During that time he came and preached several times at my dad's church in Parsons, Tennessee, just down I-40 from Jackson. Bragan said that he took the blame for the killing of his partner because he beleived his wife was guilty. His wife had phoned him and said that the partner was badly hurt. When he got there, he found his partner dead, and immediately believed his wife had done it. So without thinking, Bragan changed some things to protect his wife, but in doing this, he left his DNA and fingerprints all over the scene. Later his wife turned state's evidence and testified that Bragan had committed the crime. Meantime, another prisoner who was with Bragan in prison told the court that Bragan had confessed to him that he'd killed his partner. Bragan claimed that the District Attoney was out to get him and that the prisoner had been bribed by the District Attorney to lie about him. Bragan's second trial had been between 1992 and 1998, probably about 1995.

Moderators John317 Posted September 10, 2011 Moderators Posted September 10, 2011 You mean "took" the rap. I don't buy that, and really haven't heard that either. Do you still have his book? I've never read it but would be interested to know what he says in it about why the police arrested him for the crime. What does he say, for instance, about his wife? Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
