Reginald Blanton Was Railroaded To Texas Death Row

Target:
The Texas Board of Parole and Pardons, Rick Perry
To The Board Of Parole and Pardons, Texas Governor Rick Perry, The Courts, Judges, Lawyers, and Taxpayers of Texas, and All Concerned People Worldwide

This petition is to bring awareness to the wrongful conviction of Reginald Blanton, Texas death row inmate. Reginald was railroaded to Texas death row for a crime he did not commit.

The trial was shoddy, and false testimony was used to get a conviction. Other factors in the trial include, prosecutorial misconduct, perjured testimony, ineffective assistance of counsel, mitigating evidence, insufficient investigation and actual innocence.

Reginald's court appointed lawyer did not try his best to help Reginald. He did not have a jury of his peers, there was no eyewitness and no murder weapon was found. Because of his street gang affiliation, Reginald was "guilty" before he ever went to trial. There was reasonable doubt, and this alone should have thrown out his guilty verdict.

We the undersigned are asking that this case be looked over, and a new trial be presented to assure that he receives justice.

Our legal system is *supposed* to be based on the supposition that individuals are innocent until proven guilty, right? "Beyond a reasonable doubt", correct? And everyone is supposed to be entitled to a fair and just trial by a jury of his/her peers??? What has happened to the principles on which we base justice? When did ethics leave the courtroom altogether? There is much more than reasonable doubt in this case, and the very least the judicial system can do to make up for the errors herein, is to grant Reginald Blanton a second FAIR and JUST trial - that's what the "justice" department is there for ... or am I somehow misunderstanding the definition of "justice"?

Great nation indeed that cannot give justice and fairness to its own people while trying to give those to the rest of the world! When will one be too many? Reginald Blanton is innocent! But the hatred blinds them from even seeing the truth!

The death penalty should be abolished, too many people do not get a fair trial, especially if they are poor and can't afford a good lawyer. Public Defenders have too many cases to give anyone the time it takes for a fair trial.

One of the reasons I think the death penalty should be abolished is that mistakes can be made, and innocent people can be killed for crimes they didn't commit.

Just wondering how you would feel if it was you sitting there or one of your loved ones. Don't think you have the right to treat people like this - you lack the moral power and the wisdom to act this way. This man is innocent. But justice is pronounced by you as 'just-us' and all you want is money. And then you call yourselves proud to be American.

It is wrong to kill any man, but to kill an innocent man is murder ..Reginald Blanton should never be executed. This man needs to live!
