Petition to Commute the Death Sentence of Marvallous Keene

Target:

Governor Strickland of Ohio

Sponsored by:

Julia Przybysz - Intercommunity Justice and Peace Center

We the undersigned, urge Governor Strickland to commute the sentence of Marvallous Keene. Mr. Keene is scheduled to be executed on July 21, 2009. In 1998, Mr. Keene was sentenced to death for multiple murders committed in late December 1992. There are mitigating factors that exist in Mr. Keene's case that warrant consideration by Governor Strickland. These factors are: Mr. Keene's youth, clean record, mental disorders, his remorse and confession, and the repeated, traumatic loss of father figures from his life.

Governor Strickland should commute the death sentence of Marvallous Keene.

Enough already. Everyone has an angry day, on some days they might wish to hurt someone. The difference is that you take a moment to realize that while your emotions are real, if you kill someone your actions are not. Marvallous should die, plain and simple. He can be redeemed in the next life if God sees fit.

Marvallous Keene has already been transferred to the death house as I write... Governor Strickland, you have denied clemency last week and Keene did not appeal. You will therefore have authorized the 1000th lethal injection execution and you shall be remembered for that 1000th execution in the USA since 1977.

A guy is pointing a Gun at me in a Robbery- I WANT HIM TO THINK ABOUT THE LETHAL INJECTION HE MIGHT GET IF HE ENDS MY LIFE.. HOW CAN YOU DENY THAT THERE MIGHT BE A deterrent factor.. you can't .. to do that you'd have to be in the head of a killer.. I SAY the Deterrent Factor is REAL and we NEED IT! PLUS- I hope it Hurts like hell

The death penalty in this case does not seem consistent with mature and cold blooded defendants as in other cases. This man who was a "boy" at the time was evidently not given similar cosideration as others.

There are other variables not considered. Marvallous' "victims" were known racists. Was it really such a horrible loss?

Honor the life of this man's victims but supporting life: Commuting this death sentence to life shows tremendous courage in the face of the reflexive retaliation of the death penalty. Life supports life and sends the message of life. Lead by example and commute Mr. Keene's sentence so that healing might truly begin.

Would someone please change the date of execution on this petition. Keene will be dead for three days according to your petition. The execution date is July 21, not 24.

I SAY "NO" FOR DEATH PENALTY! NOBODY HAS ANY RIGHTS TO TAKE AWAY ANYBODY�S LIFE! NEITHER FROM HUMANS OR ANIMALS! KILLING IS NOT THE SOLUTION! THE SOLUTION IS EDUCATION! LOVE AND RESPECT ALL CREATURES: HUMANS AND NO-HUMANS!

S�il vous pla�t Monsieur le Gouverneur Strickland commuez la sentence de M. Marvallous Keene. La peine de mort n�est pas une solution, m�me si je compatis sinc�rement au chagrin des familles et des proches des victimes. Elle cr��e au contraire une autre famille de victime, celle du condamn� � mort. Mais le plus important, elle va � l�encontre des droits des hommes.

Everyone makes mistakes...Yes, his was bad. But everyone deserves another chance. Those lives can't be replaced, but killing someone else won't change that. Him AND Laura appear to be great people. Give them ONE more chance. Don't murder someone for a mistake.
