Four Inmates scheduled for execution in November

 

Four inmates are scheduled to be executed in November.  The first execution
is scheduled for Nov. 1, with three final executions scheduled to occur
throughout the month.  Those scheduled to be executed include one man whose
trial ignored several mitigating factors in the sentencing phase, and
another man whose sentence relies upon contradictory eyewitness testimony.

 

Donell Jackson, is scheduled to be executed by the state of Texas on Nov 1,
even though he maintains he had no intent to kill his victim.

 

Charles Nealy is scheduled to be executed on Oct. 18 by the state of Texas,
despite the fact that two witnesses admitted influence on their testimony of
identifying Nealy as the killer.

 

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

 

 

Do Not Execute Donell Jackson!

 

While Jackson testified that he killed Stubblefield, several mitigating
factors exist.  Jackson had a record of juvenile delinquency, and he
ultimately dropped out of school due to excessive absence.  Two experts
testified during the sentencing phase of the trial that Jackson has a
learning disability, which may contribute to his lack of education.
Furthermore, all of Jackson's appeals have been denied, including a request
for a state-funded polygraph test. 

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Rick Perry requesting that he stop the execution
of Donell Jackson!

Do Not Execute Charles Nealy! 

 

The state of Texas should punish Nealy for his involvement in the murder of
Jiten Bhakta.  However, since no one could correctly identify him as the man
with the shotgun without confusing him with the other man or being told by
the police that Nealy was present, this should not be a capital punishment
case.  The influence of outside factors in two men's testimonies and the
confusion of the thirds does not make a sound case for the state against
Nealy.  Executing Nealy will not prevent any future crime that a life in
prison cannot prevent, and his case demonstrates that people are put on
death row without being absolutely positive of their role in a murder.

 

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