On top of that, "I don't trust the media," he wrote to Rovere in a letter shared with Fox News Digital. "They will twist and distort whatever I say. Even of late they twisted my words concerning some changes in New York's parole law which, in this instant, had nothing to do with me."
"They riled up a victim with a false information and a distortion, thus creating the victim needless grief and pain, and more," he wrote. "This was not the first time. If the media wishes to know what I've been doing with my life, all they have to do is visit the website which has probably over a thousand pages of my prison writings and various videos, interviews and more, which viewers could easily access.
