1354 rosemary fergusonJustice 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 AnonymousIt is a matter of justice. Race should not enter into it.
1356 HelenAs 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 DetzInnocence 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.
1358 Gerry Megel
1359 AnonymousIn our country justice in the courts is of primary importance.
1360 Elise D. Garcia OPOur 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 mcnameea human being should not loose their life for something they did not do! where is the justice?
1363 Joan MaryI 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 AnonymousTroy was wrongly convicted. He should not die nor remain in prison.
1365 Jeri Renner, opSimply stated, it is the right thing to do, and it is a matter of justice
1366 Patricia Johnson
1367 Evelyn PicheWe 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 ZimmermanI feel that too many people are falling through the cracks of our justice system through incompetency and bias.
1369 Theresa McCallIts justice.
1370 Evelyn Montez
1371 Sharon BeckmannOur 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 NolanOf 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. RemkusThe 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 PetersInnocence 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 AnonymousToo 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 AnonymousSeven of nine Eye witnesses have admitted that their testimony was false
1377 Mary AssenmacherAll people are Innocent until Proven guilty
1378 Catherine McKILLOP
1379 Maria G. BrowneI believe it is wrong to condemn anyone to death when there is any reasonable doubt as to his guilt.
1380 Jean Birney
1381 Nancy JureckiIt is our duty, as citizens of the world, to protect what is right and those who are innocent
1382 AnonymousInnocence 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 AnonymousPlease reconsider this case.
1384 Pat DulkaBecause justice, dignity oy of person matters to me.
1385 Rosario MartinWe 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.

1388 Ginny King, OPLife is precious. 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 McKennanit is unjst to condemn someone when reasonable doubt existsl
1390 ester jacksonbecause its Justice if it does!!!
1391 AnonymousInnocence 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 McIntreWhere is Justice?
1393 Mary Soher, OPWe 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 DrazbaThere 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 ClearyBecause if troy did not commit and 7 people have recanted then all I can say is what the fuck.
1396 Barbara Kelley
1397 Judith A Nelson
1398 AnonymousIf he is innocent why have him put to death?
1399 Marian CastelluccioEveryone devserves to present their case for innocence!
