Do Not Execute Percy Walton!

 

Although Percy Walton pled guilty to the shooting murders of three people, a
group of mental health professionals diagnosed him with severe chronic
schizophrenia.  He has told people that he looks forward to his execution so
that he can resurrect dead family members.  Walton has suffered from mental
illness for years, and he now has no idea that his execution is imminent.
Executing Walton would be the same as execution a person with mental
retardation, in that he has makes no connections between action and
consequence. 

 

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Tim Kaine requesting that he stop the execution
of Percy Walton!

Do Not Execute Angel Nieves Diaz! 

 

Angel Nieves Diaz was convicted in the murder of a bar manager in Miami, but
no one witnessed the crime.  Diaz maintains he was out of the state at the
time of the murder, and his girlfriend has admitted that she testified
against him after being coerced by the police.  Also, Angel Toro, who
allegedly was with Diaz during the crime, received a plea bargain and is now
serving a life term.  Diaz represented himself at the trial, even though he
did not speak English at the time, and the trial jury was influenced by the
heavy security surrounding Diaz during the trial.

 

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Jeb Bush requesting that Angel Nieves Diaz's
execution be halted!
