Rocky Meyers uit de Verenigde Staten zit al drie decennia in dodencel na gebrekkig process
Eis dat de gouverneur van Alabama Rocky gratie verleent.
Voorbeeldbrief
Aan: Governor of Alabama
Dear Governor,
I urge you to use your power to grant clemency to Rocky Myers and commute his death sentence.
Rocky Myers’s trial was flawed, with inconsistent testimonies and allegations of police pressure. One key witness against him later recanted his testimony, stating that he had lied. The overwhelmingly white jury recommended a sentence of life imprisonment, yet the judge sentenced Rocky Myers to death. This practice is now illegal in Alabama.
Rocky Myers was burdened with ineffective legal representation and abandoned by his post-conviction lawyer, meaning he unknowingly missed deadlines for appeal. He also has an intellectual disability. Please do not let Rocky Myers be executed.
Yours sincerely,
