URGENT – PROTEST PENDING EXECUTION



Just when we think the Attorney General’s office has violated every standard of evolving human decency they pull something new that is even more repulsive.

An execution date of August 5 has been set for James B. Hubbard. He will be murdered by lethal injection including the agonizing pancurium bromide.

MR. HUBBARD IS 74 YEARS OLD IS IN FRAIL HEALTH. HE SUFFERS FROM ULCERS, PROSTATE CANCER AND COLON CANCER AMONG OTHER FRAILTIES. YOU WOULD THINK SIMPLE DECENCY WOULD DEMAND MERCY. BUT NOT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE.

PLEASE CALL THEM AT (334) 242 – 7300 AND LEAVE A MESSAGE OF PROTEST WITH THE SECRETARY

Other prisoners at Donaldson wanted to send a petition to the Governor. (The first time we have known of this happening). Donaldson mail room intercepted the US mail. They have never before interfered in the mail in a situation where a case was involved. Clearly they just do not want to Governor to get petitions or protests, direct from prisoners.

You may object to Steven Bullard (205) 436 – 3681. Leave a message with his secretary.

BELOW IS A COPY OF A LETTER YOU MAY SEND TO THE GOVERNOR BUT PLEASE ALSO BE SURE TO CALL THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE AND PROTEST VERBALLY. ENOUGH PHONE CALLS DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

PHONE : GOV. BOB RILEY (334) 242- 7100

Dear Governor Riley:


Re: Execution of James B. Hubbard

If ever a person deserved clemency it is Mr. James Hubbard. We urge you to grant clemency to this 74 year old man who is critically ill. It is not a question of death penalty per sepraventricular ectopy but one of mercy, compassion and simple decency.

There are many questions still unanswered in his case, among them are competence of trial counsel, degree of guilt, and possible exculpatory evidence.

My Hubbard is a very sick and elderly man. Among other things he suffers from ulcers, prostate cancer and colon cancer. To even consider execution under such circumstances is a sin.


Please show mercy, and simple human decency.

Signed

:shake: I cannot believe how heartless these people are if they continue to carry out this unspeakable act of cruelty against someone so old and ill. They are really sick in mind and heart, if this happens. Their violence knows no human bounds.I really pray that it will not come to pass.

My god, what is this world coming to. This has me angry and depressed, what a horrible thing Alabama is doing. 74 years old, and dying, and they are still determined to kill him.

I agree this is appalling, execution is draconian, and barbaric, but this execution lacks any sense of human decency. .:mad:
