Help stop the racially motivated execution of Reggie Clemons in Missouri!
Reggie's case is unknown in comparison to Mumia Abu Jamal's case, and he really needs your help now. This is a 1991 case that was prosecuted without any physical evidence. Reggie Clemons was only 19 years old when charged with two co-defendants in the murders of two white women. The case involves serious police and prosecutorial misconduct, and Reggie's attorney was inadequate and later suspended from practicing law.
I know you've heard the story before, but with different names in other states. The defendants are black and the victims are white, and neither received justice. Prosecutors in the Reggie Clemons case managed to stack the jury, dismissing black jurors. What followed was the usual show trial run by the judge with prosecutors' assistance as the defense attorneys fell asleep at the wheel.
Reggie has been on death row in Missouri for 17 years now and still maintains his innocence in the murders. Please at least look at the information from the case – it will take you less than 30 minutes. Amnesty International USA has just released a report on this case May 11, 2010. After you read the report, please email this letter to the Governor of Missouri by clicking here.
