Sign Petition To Save My Father From Execution 09-27-2007 (Link Below)
Please click on the link and help me save my father from execution on September 27, 2007. Please sign the petition to Alabama Governor Riley. Governor Riley can halt this and demand the DNA evidence be tested and that a jury be allowed to view the evidence that can prove my father's innocence. A jury has NEVER been allowed to view this evidence. He is innocent!!! The following are facts in this case.
LIFE OR DEATH!! STATE OF ALABAMA KILLING INNOCENT MAN SEPTEMBER 27, 2007.
PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MY FATHER THOMAS ARTHUR FROM BEING EXECUTED FOR A CRIME HE DID NOT COMMITT !!!!!
1. NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE TO LINK HIM TO CRIME. HIS CONVICTION WAS BASED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY ON THE TESTIMONY OF A CONVICTED MURDERER AND ADMITTED PERJURER.
2. DNA EVIDENCE AVAILABLE THAT THE STATE OF ALABAMA REFUSES TO RELEASE TO MY FATHER FOR TESTING AT HIS OWN EXPENSE !!!!!
3. TWO EYEWITNESSES GAVE STATEMENTS THAT SAID HE WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE WHEN CRIME COMIITTED
4. 3 PREVIOUS TRIALS WHERE JURY WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO VIEW ALL EVIDENCE
5. SWORN STATEMENTS FROM JURY MEMBERS STATING IF THEY HAD SEEN ALL AVAILABLE EVIDENCE , THEY WOULD HAVE VOTED DIFFERENTLY
6. THREE OTHER PEOPLE ADMITTED TO TAKING PART IN THE CRIME, TWO OF WHICH WERE FOUND AT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME WITH BLOOD ON THEIR CLOTHES. THEY WERE NEVER TESTED FOR GUN POWDER RESIDUE TO SEE IF THEY FIRED THE WEAPON THAT KILLED THE VICTIM. THE BLOODY SHIRTS HAVE NEVER BEEN RELEASED TO THE DEFENSE FOR DNA TESTING. ONE OF THEM WENT TO PRISON FOR THE MURDER AND WAS RELEASED 10 YEARS LATER AFTER CHANGING HER TESTIMONY FROM SAYING MY FATHER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MURDER TO THAT SAYING HE WAS RESPONSIBLE. NOT TO MENTION HER DEFENSE ATTORNEY THAT REPRESENTED HER WHEN SHE WAS FOUND GUILTY WAS NOW THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND WAS THE ONE THAT OFFERED HER A RELEASE FROM PRISON FOR HER TESTIMONY AGAINST MY FATHER.
7. MY FATHER IS BEING EXECUTED WITHOUT EVER RECEIVING ANY STATE OR FEDERAL REVIEW OF HIS TRIAL AND DEATH SENTENCE. THIS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT EVERY UNITED STATES CITIZEN IS ENTITLED TO.
8. ONLY ALABAMA REFUSES TO PROVIDE DEATH ROW INMATES THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY TO ASSIST THEM IN POST-CONVICTION PETITIONS. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY IN ALABAMA IF YOU ARE ON DEATH ROW DURING THE APPEAL PROCESS. YOU ALSO DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN UPDATED LAW LIBRARY TO ANY RESEARCH. SO BECAUSE OF A PETITION HE WAS FORCED TO FILE ON HIS OWN WAS FILED LATE, HE HAS BEEN TURNED DOWN FOR THE RIGHT TO THE REVIEWS THAT WILL PROVE HIS INNOCENCE.
9. APRIL 27, 2007, HE FILED AN MOTION BEFORE THE STATE MOVED TO SET AN EXECUTION DATE, SEEKING THE EVIDENCE COLLECTED BY THE STATE OF ALABAMA FOR DNA TESTING AT HIS OWN EXPENSE, A RAPE KIT, BLOODY CLOTHING, WIG, HAIR SAMPLES. WE COULD HAVE THIS EVIDNECE TESTED BEFORE THE EXECUTION DATE OF SEPTEMBER 27, 2007. THE STATE OF ALABAMA REFUSES TO ALLOW THIS EVIDENCE TO BE TESTED. MOST STATES NOW REQUIRE THE DNA EVIDENCE TO BE TESTED FOR THOSE COVICTED OF CRIMES, BUT NOT ALABAMA.
10. IN SHORT THE STATE OF ALABAMA WILL EXECUTE MY FATHER BEFORE HE IS PERMITTED TO PRESENT A COURT WITH REASONS WHY HIS CLAIM OF INNOCENCE SHOULD BE HEARD AND BEFORE HE HAS EVER BEEN ALLOWED TO PRESENT EVIDENCE PROVING HIS INNOCENCE. EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT BEING DENIED.
.
WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR LEGAL ASSISTANCE. WE ARE ASKING FOR HELP IN BRINGING THIS INJUSTICE TO THE PUBLIC'S ATTENTION. WE ARE ASKING THAT THE PUBLIC CONTACT GOVERNOR RILEY IN ALABAMA AND DEMAND A NEW TRIAL ALLOWING MY FATHER THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW ALL OF THE AVAILABLE EVIDENCE.

Most assume he had three trials and must be guilty if he was convicted of the crime three times. However, sworn statements from several members of the jury state "if I had seen ALL of the available evidence, I would not have found him guilty" It does not matter how many trials you have if the State does not allow the defense access to all evidence. If a jury is not allowed to view all evidence including statements from TWO eye witnesses that place my father 75 miles from the murder, witnesses that saw someone else that day, fingerprints that did not match him, hair that did not match his, the fact the two people at the crime scene with bloody clothes were never tested to see if they fired a gun, a rape kit results never given to defense (wife of murder victim claimed she was raped by the person that killed her husband), DNA evidence testing now available is not being allowed on multiple items collected by the State of Alabama. PLEASE HELP ME SAVE AN INNOCENT PERSON!!!! IF I CAN BE ALLOWED THE DNA TESTING ON THE ITEMS THE STATE OF ALALBAMA HAS, AND THE ABILITY TO SHOW ALL EVIDENCE IN A NEW TRIAL, I CAN PROVE HE IS INNOCENT. IF THE STATE OF ALABAMA IS SURE ENOUGH TO KILL HIM, WHY NOT LET US DO DNA TESTING ON THE ITEMS AND ALLOW ALL EVIDENCE TO BE SHOWN TO A JURY?
