Repost from National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty:
This is it. We have only days to save an innocent man’s life.
Please send a letter to Governor Strickland today asking him to grant clemency to Mr. Keith, who is scheduled to be executed on September 15, despite new evidence of his innocence.
Sadly, this morning, the Ohio Parole Board unanimously recommended against clemency for Kevin Keith. To learn more about Kevin Keith and get involved, please visit kevinkeith.org.
Statement from Attorneys for Kevin Keith in Response to Today’s Parole Board Recommendation Against Clemency:
The Governor’s ultimate responsibility is to ensure that no human being is executed in Ohio absent absolute certainty. In Kevin Keith’s case, too many questions remain unanswered, and his execution should not proceed as planned.
On Tuesday, September 28th, 7 PM, at St. John’s United Methodist Church, 2140 Allandale Road, Austin there will be a panel discussion about capital punishment featuring three individuals who view it from very different and unique perspectives.
