| 1354 | rosemary ferguson | Justice matters. Honesty matters. Grace matters. And above all, given our judicial system and its vagaries, innocence matters. Thank you for keeping us informed so that we can speak to such matters. rosemary Ferguson, O.P. |
| 1355 | Anonymous | It is a matter of justice. Race should not enter into it. |
| 1356 | Helen | As an American, i believe that innocent peole have the right to a fair trail as well as justice in the face of doubt. Let us stand up for what is right and just. |
| 1357 | Ethel Detz | Innocence matters because I feel too many people are on death row because they were harrassed to make a confession or were incapable of understanding the charges. We are sometimes too quick to convict and do not get all the facts. |

| 1359 | Anonymous | In our country justice in the courts is of primary importance. |
| 1360 | Elise D. Garcia OP | Our justice system is built on the presumption of innocence. If compelling evidence of innocence is ignored, we have lost the justice in our system of "justice." |
| 1361 | Gretchen Kresse |
| 1362 | aneesah mcnamee | a human being should not loose their life for something they did not do! where is the justice? |
| 1363 | Joan Mary | I believe in the dignity of each human person and the right to a fair trial that upholds the truth that one is innocent until proven guilty. |
| 1364 | Anonymous | Troy was wrongly convicted. He should not die nor remain in prison. |
| 1365 | Jeri Renner, op | Simply stated, it is the right thing to do, and it is a matter of justice |
| 1366 | Patricia Johnson |
| 1367 | Evelyn Piche | We live in the United States of America and our Constitution protects the innocent. One is innocent until, without a doubt, the person is proven guilty. Look at the facts of this case. Anybody can say anything about anybody, and create some superficial circumstances, yet the truth is the truth. |
| 1368 | Jane Zimmerman | I feel that too many people are falling through the cracks of our justice system through incompetency and bias. |
| 1369 | Theresa McCall | Its justice. |
| 1370 | Evelyn Montez |
| 1371 | Sharon Beckmann | Our whole justice system is based on
"Innocent until proven guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt." If we do not honor our laws...we do not honor ourselves nor do we honor our laws. |
| 1372 | Mary Nolan | Of course innocence matters! There can be no justice when the falsely accused are not defended. Bearing false witness is a heinous crime that can not be allowed to condemn an innocent person.
Also, the death penalty should be abolished. Killing by the state to show that killing is wrong is not only immoral but illogical. |
| 1373 | Ann P. Remkus | The main goal of our justice system ought to be truth and the protection of the innocent. Have we veered from that noble principle? |
| 1374 | Joanne Peters | Innocence matters because without it life is not worth anything. We have to respect even the notion that this life may be brought to an end because of human error and since we have alternatives, life in prison without parole, we have to err on the side of life. God will judge the rest. We are suffering a loos of innocence in our society and to survive as a human race and not become wild we have to do everything to protect life especially if there is even a shadow of doubt. |
| 1375 | Anonymous | Too many innocent people are serving time for crimes they did not commit. Our justice system should focus on real rehabilitation, rather than punishment to innocent folks. |
| 1376 | Anonymous | Seven of nine Eye witnesses have admitted that their
testimony was false |
| 1377 | Mary Assenmacher | All people are Innocent until Proven guilty |
| 1378 | Catherine McKILLOP |
| 1379 | Maria G. Browne | I believe it is wrong to condemn anyone to death when there is any reasonable doubt as to his guilt. |
| 1380 | Jean Birney |
| 1381 | Nancy Jurecki | It is our duty, as citizens of the world, to protect what is right and those who are innocent |
| 1382 | Anonymous | Innocence matters to me because justice matters to me. Never, in any country, should an innocent person be executed, especially in the U.S. where we claim "liberty and justice for all." |
| 1383 | Anonymous | Please reconsider this case. |
| 1384 | Pat Dulka | Because justice, dignity oy of person matters to me. |
| 1385 | Rosario Martin | We are all children of God and have a right to life. If this person has not been justly tried and convicted he does not deserve the death penalty. Under the Constitution he has been illegaly tried. |

This many deserves a hearing after so many recanted their testimony. Please consider the possibility that this many may or is innocent.
Christ died as an innocent victim. Do we need more sacrificial lambs? |
| 1389 | Theodora McKennan | it is unjst to condemn someone when reasonable doubt existsl |
| 1390 | ester jackson | because its Justice if it does!!! |
| 1391 | Anonymous | Innocence matters because it is a quality each of us is entitled to expect, it is free and it is a gift from a loving God. |
| 1392 | Melissa McIntre | Where is Justice? |
| 1393 | Mary Soher, OP | We must scrutinize our justice system that was developed on the innocent until proven guilty. One challenge of ensuring justice is to find where systems can and are corrupted and fix the problem. |
| 1394 | Eunice Drazba | There needs to be actual evidence of a crime. anything less is not allowable. Seek out the real perp by hard police work and not pre-conceived ideas. |
| 1395 | Thomas Cleary | Because if troy did not commit and 7 people have recanted then all I can say is what the fuck. |
