Urgent Action: Dennis James Skillicorn

Thursday, 14 May 2009

 

Dennis Skillicorn is scheduled to be executed in Missouri on 20 May. He was sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of Richard Drummond in 1994.

On 23 August 1994, Richard Drummond stopped to help three men whose car had broken down just outside Kingdom City, Missouri. The three men, Allen Nicklasson, Tim DeGraffenreid and Dennis Skillicorn, had earlier burgled a house, and after they got into Richard Drummond's car, Allen Nicklasson pulled a gun on him. At gunpoint, Drummond drove his car to a secluded rural area, at which point Nicklasson led him into a field and shot him twice in the head. The body was found eight days later.

Act Today: Please help the Howes

Wednesday, 22 April 2009

 

We really need people to email, Fax, write and telephone Alex Salmond, The First Minister of Scotland and The Justice Minister, Kenny MacAskill MSP regarding the Howes Family.

Brian and Kerry Howes face being extradited to US from Scotland when they have NOT committed a crime in Scotland. This couple have 4 children and another baby is due any day now. ALL these children will be taken into care and probably adopted if these people are extradited for something that is NOT A CRIME IN SCOTLAND. The children will suffer terribly since they have no other family to look after them if their parents are sent to Arizona.

A SCOTS mum facing extradition to the US still doesn’t know when her fate will be decided — despite being due to give birth in just 10 days.

Mum-of-four Kerry Howes, who has been diagnosed with severe depression and post traumatic stress disorder, appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh on Friday but a hearing date was not set.

It means the 31-year-old faces a home birth without knowing if she will soon be taken 5000 miles away and thrown into jail.
