Thomas Arthur Deserves New Trial !!!!

Target:
People interested in preventing the execution of an innocent person.

  We the undersinged are asking that the State of Alabama grant Thomas Arthur a new trial. We are also asking that additional DNA collected at the crime scene be tested.  July 10, 2009 DNA test results that were ordered April 15, 2009 in Jefferson County Circuit Court by Judge Pulliam, were turned in tho the Judge. She has issued the test resluts as "sealed" and has issued a Court Order to the defense and to the state that the test results not to be disclosed under any circumstance.  Hair and finger prints found at the crime scene did not match Thomas Arthur. No physical evidence links him to the crime.  The states key witness, Judy Wicker, the wife of the murder victim, Troy Wicker stated under oath multiple times Thomas Arthur beat her up and raped/had sex with her after killing her husband.  DNA testing was done on the panties Judy Wicker was wearing the morning of the murder. Judy Wicker was found guilty of murdering her husband for insurance money and in previous sworn testimony (7 sworn statements) that Thomas Arthur had nothing to do with her husband's murder.  After spending 10 years in prison for her husbands murder, Judy Wicker changed her testimony to testify against Thomas Arthur in exchange for her early release form prison.  We are asking that Thomas Arthur be granted a new trial and that the additional crime scene evidence be DNA tested.  For complete information surrounding this case go to http://www.thomasarthurfightforlife.com/

DNA TESTING SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN ALL CAPITAL MURDER CASES. WHY NOT PROVE THE CASE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT??

AS LONG AS DNA TESTING HAS BEEN PROVIDED AND PROVEN, THEN CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS FINE. LET THE MAN HAVE A NEW TRIAL AND GOD WILL NOT CONDEM YOU TO HELL FOR ETERNITY, MR DA IN ALABAMA!

DNA should be considered especially in a capital murder case. Since I am a certified paralegal, perhaps one of the attorney's that is familiar with the appeal process, will get the ball rolling. Certainly, they will consider filing appropriate motions requesting the judge set aside his original ruling and consider the new evidence. I have seen a l0t of total miscarriages of justice, and as far as I am concerned it stinks. see Harrington VS. State of Iowa (suggestion)

On capital punishment I am for keeping someone alive and locked up for their life, I feel it would be more punishment that to grant the relief from their agony by cutting their stay here on earth short. Only6 god has the right to make that decision. Jerry Thacker Chandler, Indiana

Sloppy police work and corruption within our "judicial" system has resulted in the incarceration and execution of TOO MANY INNOCENTS!

All such cases should be tested to the fullest extent possible. The cost and impact is small compared to the execution of an innocent person.

It is wrong consider the sad state of our criminal justice system.

I agree that DNA should be used in all capital cases. Given the consequences if found guilty, there needs and should be a higher standard.

While I believe in capital punishment, I am against it in this country as I do not trust the system to do the right thing. Too many cases have been found out later to wrongly convicted (State of Illinois). The judges are more interested in protecting themselves and fellow judges than they are with justice (see the Terri Schiavo case). Only in America can you take two of the most despised professions, lawyer and politician, combine them and you're forced to call them "your Honor."

I think using DNA testing is very helpful in exonerations and in convictions. However, I am concerned about those who have been wrongfully convicted and DNA testing does not play a role in getting their convictions overturned, such as the case of Edward P. Contereras K58078 as seen on www.americaswrongfullyconvicted.com

There should be absolutely no doubt about a person's guilt before execution is considered. Executions cost the states more money than incarceration for life. There muse be some way to override procedural laws when it is clear to all that a person is innocent. Thomas Arthur deserves a new fair trial!

DNA testing should be done. They say if you did it there will always be some thing left behind, if they are competent to obtain and secure the crime scene. But there are problems with that too, cause it may have been some one you knew and visited their house, but you never killed them.We have a very flawed judical system and a lot of lazy, ignorant people in the positions.

Against capital punishment!!! Just as they want to put some one to death for a murder, they themself becomes a murderer and try and justify it. Well you can't hide from God and the truth or those of us who know the truth, that they are too now a murderer, they should put them self to death now!! HUH!!!
