Re: Intervene Execution

Dear Governor Taft,
I am writing you this letter in a plea to intervene with the execution of John G. Spirko Jr.only until the DNA testing is complete and a full investigation can be done to bring allthat were involved in this murder to Justice.

In doing this perhaps the DNA will prove who the real people are that killed Betty Jane Mottinger. It might even prove that Mr. Spirko did do it with the others or perhaps that he did not. At least all of our conscious can be free of knowing the truth and not wondering if Justice has or has not been done to the fullest in this case. Please let all that can be done - be done, so all the hard work my husband did to find all the murderers who murdered his wife, Betty Jane Mottinger, will be brought to Justice.

Governor Taft, I pray that this would not ever happen, but what if the following would happen. What if all that were involved in this murder were not punished or even looked into. They would know that they got away with murder. What would stop them from murdering again. No one cared enough to even try to catch them the time they were involved with the murder of Betty Jane Mottinger.

What if they murdered again and maybe this time it was someone that you treasure and love with all your heart. Later you found out it was one of these men that killed Betty Jane and no one tried to bring to justice when they had the chance and they killed your loved one. Then how would you feel and how could you live with that for the rest of your life?

By not giving the time to have the DNA and a full investigation happen in Betty Jane?s Mottinger?s Murder Case, that is what you are asking us to do. You are asking us to just turn our heads and let them go to murder again and again with no Justice being brought to them.

Please think about what you are asking us to do.

Please give us faith in the Justice System.


Sincerely,
Connie Mottinger
