David Clayton Hill was convicted and sentenced to death on October 31, 1995, in South Carolina for murder. David has spent eight years on Death Row awaiting his execution. David’s legal appeals are now over and within a matter of days South Carolina will issue a death warrant for his execution. South Carolina breeched David’s basic human rights on several counts, including: denial of a fair trial; excessive delay in carrying out his sentence and; will employ lethal injection procedures outlawed in the United States for the euthanasia of animals. The Death Penalty is not the answer. Murder is wrong, but the death penalty does not make that wrong, right. Please sign the petition to grant David Hill clemency and support the upholding of basic human rights.

Stop the Death Penalty - Save David Clayton Hill!

We, the undersigned, ask you to abolish the Death Penalty in South Carolina, starting with David Clayton Hill, a man on South Carolina’s Death Row. No governor in the state of South Carolina has commuted a death sentence since it was reinstated in 1976. We ask you to take a stand and break that cycle.

Two wrongs do not make a right. As a nation, that condemns murder, it is hypocritical to then use execution as a just punishment. A nation should condemn murder, by all individuals and entities. The Death Penalty ends up teaching our children that murder is okay, that it is justifiable.

We urge you, Governor Sanford, to take a stand right now to “do the right thing.” Grant clemency to David Clayton Hill, and show your state and the rest of the world that you do believe in protecting human rights and that the killing must stop.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned.
