Texas Moratorium Network

Texas Moratorium Network Texas's highest criminal court harrassing anti-death penalty lawyers.

www.law.com
Two years ago, David Dow and the Texas Defender Service were embroiled in a controversy after a thwarted last-minute attempt to file pleadings for a death-row inmate. Now Dow and Katherine Black, his TDS co-counsel in a different death penalty case, have been ordered to appear before the Court of Cr...

Texas Moratorium Network We are having a drawing for someone to win a phone call from Sister Helen Prejean, author of "Dead Man Walking" and one of the world's leading advocates for abolishing the death penalty. Invite your friends to become a fan of the Texas Moratorium Network Facebook page and to enter the drawing, which will be held on Dec...ember 15. It is free to enter. The second place prize is a signed copy of the book "Mortal Justice: A True Story of Murder and Vindication" by Jeanette Popp and Wanda Evans, which tells the story of Jeanette's daughter Nancy's murder, the wrongful conviction of two innocent men Chris Ochoa and Richard Danziger, their eventual exoneration, the subsequent conviction of the real killer, and Jeanette's long activism against the death penalty, including a jailhouse meeting with the real killer and her successful efforts to prevent him from being sentenced to death.

Texas Moratorium Network invites you to enter the Texas Moratorium Network drawing for a chance to win a phone call from Helen Prejean.

Texas Moratorium Network We have submitted a Public Information Act Request to Governor Perry's office to find out how many people contacted Perry regarding Robert Thompson's execution. It should take them ten days to respond.

I am still astounded and saddened by both Thompson's initial sentence for his crime and the actual execution. It is the death penalty which makes me ashamed to be a Texan

He should not have the power to reject the boards recommendation the law should be changed so no governor has the power to make a decision when its someones life on the line only a judge in a court should be able too.

To do the right thing, Perry would have to show that he has a heart, but that wouldn't help him win the primary.

Heart-breaking that politics (once again) leads directly to an innocent man's death.

Hello to whoever you may be. I have such great respect for you. You just won't give up and I would like to express my gratitude for that. I wonder how Perry would feel if it was his son or daughter lying on that gurney. No one has the right to take the life of another. Only God decides when it begins and when it ends. It's quite arrogant of Perry to think he has that very same right. Execution is murder.

Texas Moratorium Network No word yet regarding clemency for Robert Thompson. Perry is probably waiting to hear what happens at the U.S. Supreme Court, since if the Court stays the execution, then Perry does not have to decide on whether to accept or reject the recommendation for clemency from the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Contact Perr...y and urge him to accept the board's recommendation and commute the death sentence to life. 512 463 1782 or 512 463 2000.

Don't let Texas execute someone without the Governor receiving phone calls or emails protesting the execution. In the past, we have done public information requests and discovered that for some executions, very few people call to protest, so it is important to call every time. They keep a tally...
