REASONS THE DEATH PENALTY IS UNJUSTIFIED, WRONG, UNWARRANTED AND UNFOUNDED: #1. IT IS ONLY G O D ' S RIGHT TO TAKE A LIFE. TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT & AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO JUDGE OR PROSECUTOR IS GOD!~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #2. MANY DECISIONS, SOMETIME OR SOMEWHERE IN THE PROCESS ARE MADE BASED ON A PERSONS RACIST/PREJUDICED VIEWS, FINANCIAL STATUS & PERSONAL AGENDA'S.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #3. THIS IS A DECISION THAT CAN N O T BE CORRECTED!~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #4. SOMETIMES FAMILY MEMBERS, GUARDIANS, EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS,POLICE, WITNESSES AND/OR STRANGERS LIE ON PURPOSE BECAUSE OF PERSONAL AGENDA'S AND/OR PAST HISTORY ISSUES THEY'VE HAD OR TO HIDE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE SO INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #5. THE COURTS/JUDGES REFUSE TO HEAR CRUCIAL TESTIMONY, ACCEPT EVIDENCE, REFUSE TO LET A D.N.A. TEST BE ADMISSABLE OR OTHER PROOF OF SOMEONE'S INNOCENCE OR PARTIAL INNOCENSE.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #6. THE DEATH PENALTY CAN'T AND WILL NOT STOP OTHERS FROM COMMITTING CRIMES/MURDERING AS VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE. AS I LEARNED AT THE BEST CRIMINAL JUSTICE COLLEGE IN THE U.S. JOHN JAY COLLEGE; 90% OF CRIMES ARE COMMITTED BY PEOPLE ON DRUGS. PEOPLE ON DRUGS ARE NEVER DISCOURAGED AS THEIR MINDS AREN'T RIGHT. *INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING ISSUES AFTER THE FACT, STOP THE FLOW OF ILLEGAL DRUGS FROM COMING INTO THE U.S. PERIOD!~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #7. COURTS BELIEVE POLICE BEFORE ANYONE ELSE EVEN WHEN AN OFFICER HAS A HISTORY OF CORRUPTION, ABUSE, NEGLECT AND ANYWAY IT'S A CONFLICT OF INTEREST MANY TIMES AS THE D.A.'S GET MOST OF THEIR CASES FROM THE SOMETIMES RACIST/PREJUDICED UNETHICAL POLICE.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #8. IT'S AN EMOTIONAL DECISION.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #9. OUR LAWS ARE AGAINST INHUMANE AND TORTUROUS TREATMENT OF ANYONE.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #10. YOU'RE CREATING MURDERERS AS THE EXECUTIONER THEN BECOMES A MURDERER.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #11. MANY PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS WHO WERE DENIED CARE EARLY IN LIFE AND AFTER ARE PUNISHED WHEN THEIR MEDICAL ISSUES ARE NOT ADDRESSED. SOCIETY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY INSTEAD OF PUNISHING THE SUFFERING!~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #12. INCOMPETANT &/OR UNCARING LAWYERS DO SLOPPY WORK.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #13. POVERTY CAUSES THE LACK OF BEING ABLE TO CONDUCT PRIVATE INDEPENDANT INVESTIGATIONS WHEN NECESSARY, RECOVERING D.N.A. & OTHER EVIDENCE NOT RECOVERED DUE TO CORRUPT OR SLOPPY POLICE/INVESTIGATORS, GETTING GOOD COMPETANT COUNSEL.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #14. DUE TO POVERTY ETC.; EXPERTS IN A DEFENDANTS DISABILITY IS NOT FINANCIALLY AFFORDABLE WHICH CAN SIGNIFICANTLY EXPLAIN THE BEHAVIOR AND REASON WHY SAID DEFENDANT DID WHAT SHE OR HE DID AND SAY LESSENING OR DISMISSING CHARGES.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ #15. WHERE THERE IS NO JUSTICE, THERE CAN BE NO PEACE BECAUSE A CRIME AGAINST ONE IS A CRIME AGAINST ALL!!!! EVERYONE PLEASE SIGN AND FORWARD THIS PETITION TO ALL THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW. ALSO, LIKE MY FRIEND NORMAN SIEGEL HAD ME DO: S I G N AN AFFIDAVIT WITH THE CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION IN YOUR STATE THAT SAYS "IF ANYONE KILLS ME DON'T GIVE THEM THE DEATH PENALTY!". THAT'S A WAY TO DISCOURAGE YOUR STATE FROM ENFORCING THE DEATH PENALTY.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ ~~~~~~~Respectfully and Sincerely, Ms. Victoria Mary Stong /R&B & Soul Singer, Humanitarian,Peacemaker,9/11 Family Member of John Charles Jenkins,Former Vol. 1st Responder on 9/11 & W.T.C.

I have a very dear friend who is locked up on P.A's death row for 23-24 hours a day. She is such a valuable person with so much to give. What happened to rehabilitation?

Sentencing should equal the crime. Some violent offenders who should be in for life are let out after serving 5 years, others who are guilty of non violent offenses are in for life. This needs to change.

I pray that inmate Melvin Griffin gets the enjoyment of life that he came into this world to have. It sorrows me to have to put up with some of the laws of men, that they themselves think themselves to be higher than any other. It is a prejudice thing in many cases with the laws of men. God abides neither in their hearts, nor their lives. I've read Melvin Griffin's story, and I believe that he is innocent and should get a fair chance. How can one take away one's life by giving him life or half of his life in a locked cell, not considering that the lives of all is in the hands of the Almighty God. A person may as well depart this life of their own and die in a case such as this, if he's never going to be free again to enjoy the outdoor world that God allowed him to enjoy. Murder is being committed in the court houses, and truth and justice needs to be served. A man's life is being takened away, a child's life is takened away, and it's all because the law of God is not abiding in the hearts of those who are ruling with a hot iron. They themselves are not without sin who judge. The laws of men are not pleasing in some cases. They themselves are disobedient unto the law. Taking away a man's life is like taking away his soul; He doesn't have the ability to fulfill the works of God, being cast away. A child's life takened away is the same, though he doesn't have the enjoyment of life that the outdoors brings unto a youth. An adult took advantage of a child and acted upon the physical being of the child, causing his life to be put to a shame. He should not have been called his friend.

I believe that every child should be givened a chance to learn truth and justice. If the law of man continue to add fault unto every man or child who is guilty of a crime or who has been involved in a crime, without teaching him the law and giving him another chance, than there will be the whole or at least the half of all american young people in jail, who was not saved and delivered unto the truth, because the words and laws of God upon their lives are not abiding. The law of man needs to be in accordance with the law of God, in order for men of every catagory to be delivered.

A civilization can be judged by the way it treats its prisoners. If we are inhumane to our most vulnerable (children and prisoners), then we are uncivilized.

God created all men to be equal, and for all men to have fair justice, but when evil men have corrupted the ways of God by obtaining their own laws and setting false judgements upon another, giving men time for crimes that they didn't mean to commit or for crimes that they didn't know was wrong because they were too young and hadn't been taught neither the ways of God, nor the ways of man, and the laws of man gave lesser sentences for one who committed murder than it did for another who committed also murder, which was not equal at all, than it causes God's laws to be abolished by the ways of man's thinking toward their own laws that they have created for the pleasure of their own evil Hearts. God's laws shall not be Abolished. Therefore if the words of God says to set righteous judgement upon the earth, and the ways and the laws of man has set unrighteous judgement upon man, than he to who judges in the courts of the law, will have to pay for his disobedience unto God's words, who will set the greatest judgement upon All.
