We the undersigned are fighting for Thomas Arthur to be allowed DNA testing that could conclusively prove his innocence. We are asking that Alabama Governor Riley order DNA testing of evidence that includes blood, hair and semon was recovered and still exists, but it has never been tested!!! DNA testing of the evidence evidence can conclusively prove Thomas Arthur is innocent and was never at the crime scene, as he has proclaimed for 25 years. Yet the State of Alabama not only REFUSES to DNA test the crime scene evidence--but it is refusing to allow Arthur to have the evidence DNA tested at HIS EXPENSE!!! Is the State of Alabama refusing because they know Thomas Arthur is innocent--then it is not seeking to execute him---but to LEGALLY murder him. We are asking that Governor Riley allow Thomas Arthur a new trial so that he may present ALL of the evidence that can prove his innocence. There are two eye witnesses placing Arthur 75 miles away when crime was committed. The DNA evidence will prove if the two women found at the crime scene fired the weapon that shot the victim. It can prove Arthur did not have sex with Judy Wicker prior to the murder, it can prove blooded shirts might have another persons blood on it. The semen can be put in an FBI data base to se if another person could have committd this crime. No physical evidence links this man to the crime!!! 20 years on Death Row is a crime, but to be executed for a crime you are innocent of is something you will have on your conscience for ever Governor....Governor Riley, hear our voices , we demand the crime scene evidence be DNA tsted, and that you immediately order an investigation into this case by the Alabama Bureau of Investigation. You can go to http://www.thomasarthurfightforlife.com/ and see the circumstantial evidence and the DNA evidence from the court records. You decide which proves absolute innocence or guilt.

Nobody has the right to take away the life of another person, guilty or not guilty. Capital punishment is just as unacceptable as any crime
Capitol Punishment is not the answer!
I do not believe in capital punishment, there is all ways the chance an innocent person will be executed and we can't take that chance.
Capital Punishment is wrong. No one knows for certain if they have the right person. It is also cruel to anyone
Capital Punishment must be eradicated in the USA and around the world.
Abolish it. Too many innocents to make it a sound punishment.
I am passionately against it, no exceptions!
It's the worse cruel thing
i dont think we should use capital punishment anymore, we do not live in the dark ages, this is the 21st century for goodness sake.
Capital Punishment is murder. It is immoral and hypocritical. There is no need for it and should not be used in ANY situation.
I like it.
I agree with capital punishment... No one has the right to take the life of another.
I don't believe anyone should be killed for something they aren't even sure he did. Plenty of innocent people get sentenced to prison. Where will it stop?
If this man did murder, then he is entitled to die for the crime. Should he be innocent then the conclusion is obvious. "As you have done to the least of these..."
I believe capital punishment is warranted, but too many innocent people are dying because of idiot politics and corruption.
I'll be honest, I'm half & half on this one. If there is UNDENIABLE, IRREFUTABLE evidence that the person committed the terrible crime, and that ALL methods of proving their innocence have failed, and they are COMPLETELY guilty, then yes, I agree with the death penalty. BUT if there is any irregularities, or unresolved issues, and not each and every stone possibly has been turned, then no, in Canada the last 2 people excuted were proven innocent after their deathes. And since DNA testing became available and a proven science, there has been countless convictions overturned, and innocent people walked free, but had their original convictions been followed through, and the death penalty enforced, How many innocent people would have been put to death.
In certain cases I support it. However it should only be used when a person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt with the evidence to prove it.

I believe that if there is dna to test it should indeed be used in court for testing to prove weather or not someone has a chance at a fair trial. If the DNA testing is done and it does not match the person that is on death row, that person should be free to go immedeiately pending the results. Don't put someone that is totally innocent on death row with out going over every little peice of evidence possible. I believe that capitol punishment should be given only to people that have commited the crimes, not to the people that haven't even had the chance to prove their innocence. It's just crazy! |
contrary.
I honestly believe that no one is powerful enough to determine whether someone should live or die, except GOD.
Thats enough. 25 years on death row is a crime in itself!
I am not opposed to the death penalty if the case is proven, and not based on circumstantial evidence regardless how compelling it may be.
I personally believe capitol punishment is wrong in all cases. It makes no sense to try to show it is wrong to kill by killing. I also feel that continuing to execute people while so many other countries have stopped makes our country look backward and foolish in the eyes of the world.

I understand the whole situation! I am also fighting for freedom for a 16 year old sentenced to die in prison who is innocent of any involvement. I think the judges who are committing innocent people to prison need to be sentenced to prison! DA's and Prosecutors need to be "FIRED"! DNA in alot of courts is not admissable evidence, but should be allowed! Many times men have been sentenced to prison and spent many years in prison to find out later through DNA testing that they were innocent and wasted most of their lives in prison! What is wrong with America today? If this man is innocent then he should be freed! I think Capital punishmnet should only be allowed in the violent acts that can't be justified in any way! Such as the killing and rapes of innocent little children! Killing a human being in the most violent way, that cannot be justified in any court of law! |
What the hell, you people with your punishment, everyone who ever has punish somebody just punish himself, what devil does punishment??
i do not believe in an "eye for an eye" in that case everyone's eyes would be pulled out of it's sockets. capital punishment does not help decrease the crime rate. why kill a criminal? all it does is let them out the easy way, and who wants a killer to get the easy way out? not me!!!
