The Hon. Governor Bob Riley

Dear Governor Riley, I would like to ask you to stop the execution of Leroy White, scheduled for January 13th, 2011.

We are about 500+ friends on Facebook plus 330 Members on Facebook of PHAD and very concerned about the Deathpenalty in Albama.

1. The jury deliberated for only 20 minutes to convict and voted 9-3 to recommend a life sentence. The judge disregarded the recommendation.

2. Alabama ought to delay all executions to allow for a thorough study of its capital punishment process and consider the serious objections raised as to how it administers the death penalty.

3. Alabama executed five people in 2010 and was third in the nation for number of executions.

4. According to Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, capital punishment is growing more infrequent nationally, but in 2008 Alabama sent more people to death row than any other state!

5. Alabama is notorious for its unique law that allows a judge to override without limitations the recommendations of a jury for life in a capital case and order death instead of life without parole.

6. Alabama is also notorious for failing to guarantee legal representation for inmates appealing their capital convictions and we are the only state with no state-wide public defenders’ office.

7. Income and race are factors and a number of caveats in recent post conviction DNA legislation limit accessibility to DNA testing.

With best regards ....................
