Letter to Governor Mary Pallin of Oklahoma

Unjust execution of Richard Glossin

Put a stay on an unjust barbaric execution

The following letter was sent to Gov Mary Fallin of Oklahoma by e-mail but did not get through. Phone calls to her home gave an answering machine reply that the content was full.

Dear Mary

You have the unbelievable power to stop an unjust execution and give a
chance to a proper defence team to fight the injustice for the first time.

With that power comes responsibility

Please change your mind and grant a stay to Richard Glossin who, you
must know by now was stitched up for the murder of Mr Van Treese, when
they interviewed Justin Sneed and hid the video of the interview.

What a shambles of a prosecution on which to justify the taking of
innocent human life. No fingerprints, no DNA evidence. Only the word
of the killer prompted by State interrogators.

Poverty is not a crime. Richard's poverty denied him a proper defence.

The death penalty is utterly barbaric. "We think you're guilty by our
standards, therefore we kill you" is a motto worthy of Jihadi John and
his Isis clan of murderers. Please don't join them.

With best personal wishes
