TOLEDO — 4:37 p.m., Jan. 15 —A man whose death sentence for killing a postmistress was commuted to life in prison said he will keep pressing Ohio’s governor for a full pardon.

John Spirko, who was moved off death row last week after 23 years, said Tuesday that he’ll fight for release “till my last breath.”

Gov Strickland may not get to see emails, or they can be deleted easily.

This campaign for John Spirko wants to use the old fashioned way................actual letters, to be sent to the Governor. He can ignore a few but he cannot ignore thousands and this is what we need done. We need mail going into that office by the sackload.

John Spirko is an innocent man who has spent 25 very long and hard years in prison -- 23 on death row -- for a crime he did not commit. There can be no joy in the commutation of an innocent man's sentence to life without parole. The positive thing about Governor Strickland's commutation is that the State will now not execute an innocent man and that we can, and will, continue to fight for Mr. Spirko's complete exoneration and release.
