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.

The 43-year-old spoke briefly to a crowd of between 30 and 40 journalists after landing at Edinburgh Airport shortly before 6pm.

He told them: "It's good to be back home.

"It feels great. I'm glad to be back. I would like to thank everybody who supported me all those years."
