URGENT ACTION - STOP THIS EXECUTION:
February 16, 2010 is the date for scheduled execution of Martin Grossman. 
Amnesty International USA has adopted it as an urgent action case. 
 
Martin Grossman, now 45, is scheduled to be killed by the State of Florida on February 16th at 6:00 pm for a crime he committed when he was 19 years old. There are serious questions about the quality of his prior legal representation and compelling mental health evidence that was never presented to a jury.

FADP (Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty) is joining with other organizations calling on Gov. Crist to halt the execution and grant Martin Grossman a clemency hearing to consider commuting his sentence from death to life in prison.

Please click here to sign the petition.

Remember the Death Warrant that Gov. Crist signed a few months ago for Paul Johnson? Johnson had many appeals still pending, but reportedly in response to a petition, Gov. Crist ordered his execution to be carried out anyway. On January 14, following a court-ordered stay of execution, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that Johnson’s death sentence be vacated due to “previously undisclosed prosecutorial misconduct” at his previous trials.

Petitions matter. Truth matters. Justice matters. YOUR voice matters!  Time matters!

Please Take Action NOW!
