John Spirko Case.
As a concerned person and a citizen of Scotland, who has watched the State of Ohio for over ten years with it's broken "justice" and death penalty system, I am appalled at the way The Parole Board and more so AG Petro are totally disregarding all the evidence in the case of John Spirko.
We are told that the appeals system is there for a safeguard against innocent people being executed.
This is the biggest lie ever told in Ohio.
Ohio's parole board has recommended no leniency for John Spirko, no delay in his Sept. 20 execution date so that a federal judge in Toledo might have adequate time to sort out troubling questions about his guilt.
We need people from all over the world and ESPECIALLY OHIO residents to READ this article which is one of many on the denial of clemency of John Spirko an innocent man on Ohio's Death Row.
We need people to CALL, WRITE, FAX and EMAIL the Gov of OHIO and as many people as possible at that EVERY DAY from NOW on. John Spirko has 21 DAYS left to live and he has not had his case looked AT PROPERLY.He has endured 23 years on death row for a crime the evidence shows he did not commit.
All the details of how to contact Gov Taft are below the article.
LET GOVERNOR TAFT KNOW THAT WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THE EXECUTION OF AN INNOCENT MAN. PLEASE PASS ON TO ALL YOUR CONTACTS AND GROUPS!!!!!!!!!!
Death sentences in cases later proven to be wrongful convictions typically have this in common: Prosecutors insisting, often for years, that the defendant was guilty and death was a just punishment.
