Armband Alert: 11/05/09: Oliver, TX
Please wear a black wrist band tomorrow, 11/05/09, in silent protest of the execution of Khristian Oliver by the state of Texas. Mr. Oliver will be poisoned for the 1998 murder of Joe Collins.
Khristian Oliver was sentenced to death because the jury was swayed by unconstitutional “external influences”. The Christian Bible was circulated among the jurors as they deliberated Mr. Oliver’s punishment, with passages underlined that demanded death for this kind of crime. Subsequently jurors have confirmed that they were influenced by the passages. This is clearly a violation of Mr. Oliver’s federally guaranteed constitutional rights. Texas must not execute Khristian Oliver.
Thanks for all you do to abolish the death penalty in the United States of America!
