Sign the petition to pause the execution of Tony Carruthers and allow forensic testing
Pamela,
On May 21, the state of Tennessee plans to execute Tony Carruthers even though they refuse to run simple fingerprint and DNA testing that could prove his innocence.
This case has every red flag we've seen in wrongful execution cases:
No physical evidence linking Tony to the crime
Conviction based on paid jailhouse informants
Crime scene fingerprints and DNA don't match Tony — but the state won't compare them to the actual suspect
Tony has severe mental illness and was forced to represent himself at trial
One of the people responsible for the murders said Tony was not involved and pointed investigators to a different man. Police have that person’s fingerprints on file. They refuse to compare them.
Governor Lee has the power to intervene. He must issue an immediate stay of execution, which will give time for the courts to order fingerprint and DNA comparison testing and to ensure Tony has proper legal representation given his mental illness.
