California - Stop the Execution of Kevin Cooper
From Amnesty International:
Kevin Cooper is scheduled to be executed in California on February 10, 2004. He was sentenced to death in 1985 for a quadruple murder committed in 1983. Cooper maintains his innocence of the murders, and the jury that sentenced him struggled to pass a death sentence, apparently due to residual doubt about his guilt. The jury never heard available mitigating evidence. On January 30, Governor Schwarzenegger denied clemency to Kevin Cooper.
Please urge Governor Schwarzenegger to reconsider his decision not to grant clemency to Kevin Cooper. To take action, click on this link or paste it into your Web browser:

Amnesty International has the deepest sympathy for the victims of violent crime and their families. However, the death penalty only serves to create more victims and perpetuate a cycle of violence.
Thank you for taking the time to protect human rights.
Sincerely,
Online Action Center
