EMERGENCY: STOP THE TEXAS EXECUTION OF FRANCES NEWTON ON SEPTEMBER 14!
FRANCES IS THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN SCHEDULED TO BE EXECUTED BY TEXAS IN MODERN HISTORY.
NEW EVIDENCE AFFIRMS HER INNOCENCE.
Please join the online campaign to STOP THE EXECUTION OF FRANCES NEWTON! She is scheduled to be executed by the state of Texas on September 14.
On September 14, 2005, Frances Newton, AN INNOCENT WOMAN, is scheduled to be executed by the state of Texas.
If the jury had known the facts that are presently known, they would not have found Frances guilty nor given her the death sentence.
The dubious motive, unrealistic timeline, the police's refusal to follow important leads, and most of all, her incompetent counsel, all point to the compelling evidence that proves Frances Newton is innocent. She has been on death row for 18 years, and you have already granted her a 120- day stay. But on the basis of new evidence, Frances needs to finally have her day in court. We plead to you in good conscience to STOP THE EXECUTION OF FRANCES NEWTON.
