FADP Update

NO STAY!!! We are very sorry to report that, in an unusual move and in a divided opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals has lifted the U.S. District Court‘s stay of the execution of John Ferguson. The U.S. District Court had issued the stay in order to hear arguments on Friday that Ferguson is incompetent to be executed. It is now possible that the execution of John Ferguson could proceed as previously scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 6pm ET unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes. We will send out an update as soon as more information comes in. Here is the latest news.   Please TAKE ACTION!!! PLEASE contact Governor Rick Scott and ask him to convene the Board of Executive Clemency to commute the death sentence of John Ferguson to Life in Prison with No Parole, because he is incompetent to be executed. Gov. Rick Scott  – Phone: 850-488-7146  Email: Rick.Scott@eog.myflorida.com   In response to the Eleventh Circuit order, Ferguson’s attorney, Chris Handman, said:  “We are disappointed that a divided panel of the Eleventh Circuit vacated the stay of execution entered by Judge Hurley who had concluded that Mr. Ferguson’s case raises important constitutional issues that merit full consideration. We are hopeful that the Supreme Court will reverse this decision because there is no evidence that Mr. Ferguson has a rational understanding of the reason for, and effect of, his execution. A man who thinks he is the immortal Prince of God and who believes he is incarcerated because of a Communist plot quite clearly has no rational understanding of the effect of his looming execution and the reason for it.”   Please remember: Letters-to-the-editor of your local newspaper reach thousands.   Please support the Florida statewide coalition effort to end executions.

AND NOW A LETTER, GRACE WROTE TO ME:

Dear Sir/Madam 

I do not live in America, and again, time is running short for Bobby Hines, please fwd my appeal for Clemency to your Governor for Bobby Hines, scheduled for execution 24 Oct 2012. Other inmates before him were ‘ready to go’, but Bobby isn’t ready to go, he wants to live. Given his sad and abusive childhood, which will not be difficult to prove with your States records, it only requires time. He had only 19 years in the free world, in which he had no love nor decency of a human being deserves. He deserves Clemency. He only asked to be able to live in that prison society. A hope and plea to live. Thank you. (Its urgent!) Grace ….
