Please join Sister Helen Prejean, DPF President Mike Farrell, and TCADP in urging Collin County DA Greg Willis, Gov. Greg Abbott, and the Texas Ct of Criminal Appeals not to kill Ivan Cantu this Wednesday, February 28. [Unfortunately, his execution was carried out.]
Ivan was convicted of the 2001 killing of his cousin, James Mosqueda, and Mosqueda’s fiancée, Amy Kitchen. But there is so much wrong with the case against him, including false testimony, evidence withheld by prosecution, and key witnesses later recanted. Even jurors support his appeals, believing they did not hear all the evidence at trial.
Mike has more about this case and the very real risk that Texas is about to kill an innocent man here.
Thank you for all that you do to end state killing.
