Four Inmates scheduled for execution in September


Four death row inmates are scheduled to be executed in September.  The first
execution is scheduled for September 12th, with two the following week and
one in the final week of the month.  Those scheduled for execution include
one man who suffers from severe depression among other mental illnesses and
another who faced police beatings until he signed a confession.

Daryl Holton, who is scheduled to be executed by the state of Tennessee,
suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and severe depression.

Farley Matchett claims he killed in self-defense but was beaten by police
until he confessed to the crime, is scheduled to be executed by Texas on
September 12th.

Read more about these and the other cases below -- and ACT!

Do Not Execute Daryl Holton!

Daryl Holton suffers from several mental illnesses, including severe
depression.  Several mental health experts testified at his trial that he
has symptoms for other illnesses, such as schizoid personality disorder and
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from his service in the military during the
First Gulf War.  One psychologist even stated that the act of murdering his
children may have been directly related to his depression.

Holton has stopped the appeals process, which is consistent with the actions
of a person who suffers from severe depression and other mental illnesses.

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Phil Bredesen requesting that he stop the
execution of Daryl Holton!

Do Not Execute Farley Matchett!

Convicted for killing a man during a dispute about money, Matchett maintains
he was defending himself, and he confessed to the crime only because of
police brutality he endured while in custody.  Furthermore, his counsel may
few objections during the trial, and allowed him to be incarcerated for 19
months prior to any trial ever beginning.  His counsel also only called two
witnesses during the punishment part of the trial and did not follow proper
mitigation steps in order to defend his client properly.

The case of Farley Matchett demonstrates the use of the death penalty
against the poor who cannot afford proper counsel.

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Rick Perry requesting that Farley Matchett's
execution be halted!
