Ohio Innocence Project director Mark Godsey is every convict's fairy godmother-and his ability to get post-conviction DNA testing is his magic wand.  

On Friday, despite the fact that we have two issues before the court, the Missouri Supreme Court set an execution date of Aug. 27. For those of you who would like to do anything to help try to prevent this state from killing my husband, your help is welcome and there are some fairly simple things you can do.

Dear Friends,

I have just read and signed the petition: "SAVE JEFF WOOD FROM THE TEXAS EXECUTIONER!!".

Please take a moment to read about this important issue, and join me in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference. We are trying to reach 5000 signatures - please sign here:

Once you have signed, you can help even more by asking your friends and family to sign as well.

Thank you! Karen

Even those not generally a fan of Penn & Teller politics,you may find this is pretty interesting. After the first two minutes or so (which contains the requisite Penn & Teller strong language), the potentially offensive material subsides and there's not much else that could be considered vulgar. Contains some video interview snippets of Dudley Sharp, Mark Klaas, Rick Halperin and others.
