Michael Land was convicted in the May 1992 killing of 30-year-old Candace Brown. Hikers found her body in an abandoned limestone quarry on Birmingham's Ruffner Mountain. The state's high court said that it has scheduled the execution of Michael Jeffrey Land for Aug. 12. While we can not excuse or forget the crime that Michael committed nor can we forget the victims family in this case, we do feel that by executing Michael will not make the world safer, it will not ease the pain of the victims family. It will only create more victims. Please sign and show you are human.
We the undersigned urge you to grant Michael Land clemency. We feel that having an IQ level below 70 is enough to say that he is of a level which classifies him as mentally retarded. Under US Law any person who has an IQ of 70 or under should not be executed.
Please we urge you with the powers which the State of Alabama have invested in you to grant this man clemency.
Many thanks
