Free autistic Kimber Edwards

Kimber Edwards, an innocent autistic man who falsely confessed to hiring someone to kill his wife was about to be executed, but his sentence was commuted to life in prison with the possibility of parole since he is autistic. Also, Orthell Wilson the man who killed Edwards' wife had confessed to acting alone and that he falsely stated that he was hired. People with autism are often easily manipulated, especially during harsh interrogation methods into confessing. Why should an innocent autistic man spend the rest of his life in prison because of a false confession? It's unjust and wrong. he should have been freed as soon as Wilson confessed the truth. Even though governor Nixon commuted Mr. Edwards' death sentence to life in prison without parole, it is was still known that the man was autistic, and the real murderer had confessed o acting alone upon learning that an innocent man was being sentenced to death because oh him.
Here is the articles and video that discuss Edwards' case http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-execution-missouri-idUSKCN0RW2F220151002#2lsJETiCV0IZ0Sd4.97 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3252579/Advocates-say-man-facing-execution-Missouri-innocent.html

To Jeramiah Nixon governor of the state of Missouri;
I am writing this petition to request that you pardon, or at least grant a retrial for Kimber Edwards, an autistic man Who falsely confessed to hiring a hitman to murder his wife. The murderer later confessed to falsely accusing Edwards of the murder and likely the only reason Kimber Edwards confessed to the murder was because of his autism and his susceptibility to harsh interrogation procedures which are very difficult for people to autism to go through. Mwny autistics who go to jail end up going through false confessions because of their disability. So I ask you, taking this into consideration can you please pardon Edwards or these grand every trial where he will be given a fair trial that will find them not guilty take into account that the real murderer had confessed to the crime.
Articles that talk about how Edwards was frames for murder and a YouTube video where Wilson Orwell confessed to lying about Edwards commiting the crime.
