This is absolutely disgusting. It's not like she murdered anybody. Surely a long hard prison sentence, is enough for justice to be served. In the west we show so much compassion to people from poorer countries. where is there compassion. barbaric!

Too much collusion in this case by those wanting a deal with the prosecution. Stop the insanity and stop the death penalty.

Ashli

Regardless of guilt or innocence, Linda deserves a fair trial and this is something she has been denied. Before there is a haste to execute her, there should be a haste to ensure she has a fair trial. Key witnesses that led to her conviction have spoken out about being intimidated into testifying against her, and her defence was horrific.

Lynn Szweda South Bend Indiana

At the end of the day weather you are for or against the death penalty one thing is for sure. Sooner or later no matter how many argument are made, moral or legal, no matter how many bleeding heart rally's are held by all the fools that believe she is innocent a needle will glide in like a airplane landing on a runway into a vein of this lying sociopath master manipulator and there isn't anything anyone is going to be able to do about it. The U.S. Constitution says the death penalty is appropriate for specified HEINOUS murders.

Harry Griffiths

She should be released

Qianhong Zhou

No one has the right to take away other people's life, and no one is sinless. Death penalty is rooted in irresponsibility, indifferece and hatred. Death penalty only contribute to cycles of vicious violence but it does not bring peace and true justice. Please free Linda and respect her.

Julie Watt

No one should face the death penalty especially innocent people

I have just watched the documentary about Linda & quite clearly the state of Texas did nothing to give her proper representation. Her council was totally inadequate he didn't even bother to meet with her other than a brief 15 minutes he's clearly only interested in making a quick buck for little or no time or effort. The British government should step in now & speak to the President requesting a new trial & proper representation.

I do not think this is a question of guilt, but more a question of a legal system which is meant to provide a fair trial for ALL! In 2016 the Catalogue of errors which are clearly evident in this case should not be allowed. We should not keep overlooking these injustices.. Linda in the very least should be allowed a re-trail where she is provided with a defense team that is actually trying to defend her... I feel for the victims family and understand their need for 'Justice' but I am sure that is exactly what they would want and nothing more in honor of their loved one. Something needs to be done about this system and the unfair treatment of particular groups of people.

Des Flanagan

I believe this lady has been framed, she's not received a fair trial, the lawyer was hopeless, the DA was rascist, sexist, and now sacked, she is a British citizen and the British consulate was never contacted, also her EX lawyer did no background work on behalf of her defence, she worked for the DEA, she was raped and framed, I'm not forgetting the poor innocent victim, god bless her soul, but this lady is innocent at the end of the day and I think America should wake up to this miscarriage of justice, what a total disgrace the American legal system is, SHOCKING, pray for the release of Linda carty and also pray for the poor young lady who was murdered in 2002, and also this poor victims family, release Linda carty. Just watched her documentary in Scotland, disgusted.

Her bad lawyer and dismal life spiralled her into this situation which she had no control over. She was even a informant for the authorities trying to get out of this life she found herself in, they were not even asked to testify for her, what a rubbish lawyer, she was not given a fair trial. Justice!!! Justice!!! Beyond reasonable doubt is IT IS NOT! A real travesty! Is she can sit in this predicament anyone can, by these standards. BEYOND A SHADDOW OF A DOUBT, I THINK NOT!!!!

Bridget Doman

I have just seen the programme about Linda Carty and do not believe she should be put to death. I also believe she is innocent of the charges. Any good prosecutor could make a completely innocent person look guilty by his/her rhetoric in court and the way in which the evidence is presented, no matter how questionable it might be.

totally unjust and whitewashed case full of flaws free her

Britain clean up your act and act for your citizens and Texas, I'm shocked that your 'legal system' is so medieval! You're 2 only paces away from ducking people in ponds to determine innocence! Why isn't someone preventing incompetent lawyers from practising? I was totally amazed and disgusted to hear about this case. I'm not convinced of guilt or innocence, but the state killing Linda Carty or anyone for that matter, is plain WRONG!

Simon

Not the first time American justice system hasn't informed the UK because they know if they do, the accused will get stellar representation at court.

Carmen Padilla_Yanez

Seems to me the only crime she committed was being poor. Everyone deserves a fair trial and this was a travesty. America the land of the free. If you're white and rich maybe. A tragic situation for both families. Everyone please keep up the fight for Linda and for justice.

Hayley charles

This lady has suffered a difficult life already and Britain were not notified and her defender was appalling

The Death Penalty should not exist in the 21st Century. What does it solve? Does it bring back the victim? No. Also, as has happened in a lot of cases, the person, after they have been put to death, has been found to be innocent - there is nothing that can be done at that point as they are dead. There are so many issues in this particular case that show that Linda Carty should not be on Death Row and her original defence lawyer should NEVER be allowed to represent anyone ever again.

I watched the tv program 'British Woman On Death Row' tonight 28/07/2016 and truly believe that Linda Carty was wrongfully convicted of a crime she did not commit. She should be granted a re-trial with what evidence there is left (some was destroyed or disappeared) and any new evidence that has come to light. She should also be FREED and heavily financially compensated for all those years she was robbed of locked up for a crime she is NOT guilty of. DON'T make the fatal mistake of executing an innocent woman, find the real culprit(s) and bring to JUSTICE those corrupt members of the Prosecution Team GOD BLESS Linda Carty and her family, we BELIEVE in her and will continue to ask him for his DIVINE intervention because he also BELIEVES in her.

Please let Linda Carty have a re-trial as her first trial was a complete farce!. This woman was defended by a so-called lawyer who gave her only 15minutes of his time prior to trial, how can anyone defend some who is up on a Capital Murder charge with only spending 15 minutes with them, and this is a forward thinking nation! it's disgusting!. Plus this woman has helped the DEA as an informant. The American justice system is all wrong!. The British Prime Minister Theresa May should be fighting for this woman as she is a British subject, Linda should not be on death row, and why would Linda steal a baby that's not even from the same ethic culture as her own, if she did would that not look pretty strange!, I think the whole case was so badly mishandled and the reason they will not allow a re-trial is because the judge that tried this case would look like a total ass!. Linda deserves a re-trial with proper professional representation not an idiot like the one that defended her the first time, she should be represented by a British Lawyer who deals in international law. Please give her a chance.

With my heart & more importantly, my mind, I appeal to The US judicial system to look at this trial again. Are you prepared to execute a person when it is clear that the person has been totally 'non represented' by your legal system? To the British Government: I was appalled by the suggestion that it was too late to get involved in the case for Linda Carty. To suggest that that you've taken measures to stop this happening again completely acknowledges that this case is wrong. She is going to be excecuted & you CAN do something. Every member of the British and American systems, Please have the courage to stand up for true justice. If this woman is not afforded a retrial then everyone of us should hang our heads in shame. It will be our souls that God will struggle to rest.

The British government must act.. a re trial should be done and Texas should stop killing innocent people and making us black people scape goats.

They need to step up and do what's right.

Kathryn Hart

After watching the documentary I feel that Linda had a very unfair and raw deal in this matter. Her lawyer should be held to account for what he didn't do to help her and how can it be right that she is on Death Row but the guys that committed the abduction of the Mexican lady and her baby (and probably caused the lady's death) took a deal to get a lesser sentence by having Ms Carty accused of murder. The trial was a disgrace. The British government need to step up and help Ms Carty. She is a British subject. I am outraged that help has not been given already.

Donna Sidders

She did not receive a fair trial and had an alleged useless defence team

Tracy

I feel she should have a retrial with a decent lawyer.

I am fundamentally opposed to the death penalty anyway. However with scarce evidence placing ms Carty at the scene of the crime she deserves to have evidence reviewed at the very least

Stacey Mitchell

Get more signatures! It's awful

Free linda now , she has suffered. Enough. I truly. Believe. She is incent

Laura

The trial was unfair and no one should be faced with the death penalty after the life you had to suffer. I pray you get home to your daughter and your grand children your not a risk your just a mum

julie wright

An eye for an eye is NOT the way to go, we'd have a lot of blind people. There's no need to punish her family this way, their lives are in limbo and they haven't committed a crime. Come on Amber Rudd, show that the UK cares about true justice and intervene.

This lady should not endure the death penalty, surely the doubt relating to evide nce against her should be enough for a reprieve.

No-one should be subject to the death penalty. It shows just how messed up America is, this is no suitable punishment for a woman who has been mis-represented.

The death penalty is always wrong, but in a situation where a person has had inadequate representation at trial it is criminal to carry out such a sentence.

The death penalty is abhorrent and stands to be a stain on human history. We as Brits abolished this inhumane practice years ago. We must not and cannot stand by and watch as one of our own is put to death by a country so young as the U.S

Her murder will solve nothing and she's not even being given a chance of another trial. There was no proper evidence, how could you decide to kill her?

Linda Carthy has mitigating circumstances which would exclude her from being on death row ( she had been raped and gave bith to the unknown rapists child which she gave up,). She had a useless attorney. He didn't even contact The British Athorities as was his duty when she was on trial. She was accused of murder which she could not say anything about because this is what innocent people are like, they don't know what happened. Bless you Linda

Martin Owen

Never have I seen such a miscarriage of justice along with an inept level of misconduct lack of knowledge & total incompitance by Linda Carty's Lawyer. This Lady's case is the worst case of a miscarriage of Justice in the U.S. The Judicial system in Texas is bordering on a kangaroo court style of convictions. Especially in this case, I'm appalled at their lack of common sense and their inability to see that this is an innocent lady. Please I urge people to look at this case then you will clearly see that this is an innocent woman. She should be given more than clemacy, she should be released and allowed to return to her family.

Paul Johnson

Disgrace on how this lady is in jail

Jade Marks

Amazes me the gullible people who think this killer is innocent. Linda Carty is a killer. No amount of signatures is going to stop justice from being served.

Linda has NO mitigating circumstances that is diserving of mercy. It’s too bad Texas doesn’t duct tape a garbage bag around her head and throw her in a hot trunk for hours like Linda Carty did to Joanna Rodriguez. Linda Carty is a killer. I’m amazed at how many people can deduce this killer was unjustly convicted just because of an hour long TV show. It doesn’t change what Linda Carty is...a killer. Texas denied any further appeals on 2 September 2016 and her death warrant is going to be signed soon. God bless Joanna Rodriguez and her family. Shame on everyone who sides with a killer.

Jade Marks

Innocent woman...?...Linda Carty is a killer. Linda Carty is a drug dealing lying manipulating con who killed Joanna Rodriguez for her baby because she was an infertil cow who couldn’t give her childless boyfriend the baby he wanted and he left her. Linda’s death warrant is soon to be signed. Justice for Joanna Rodriguez and her family!

Linda Carty is a killer and is going to be executed for the heinous murder of Joanna Rodriguez. GOD BLESS JOANNA RODRIGUEZ AND GOD BLESS TEXAS

Then your a very poor magistrate because Linda Carty is a lying manipulative drug dealing con who murdered Joanna Rodriguez for her child. Too bad Texas doesn’t duct tape a garbage bag around Linda Cartys head and shove her in a hot trunk to suffocate to death like Linda did to Joanna. As a magestrate you should know how to read trial transcripts. Shame on you liberal ex magestrate. The only way guilty killer Linda Carty is leaving Texas DOC is in a body bag.

WHY were others who knew about the circumstances not brought forward.. WHY was the British Consul not notified of the accusation and trial of this lady and WHY has she been kept on death row all these years with out recourse to a proper appeal? Time for the US government to look at this [and possibly other] case. This needs resolving one way only and needs resolving NOW, not months or years ahead. FREE THIS LADY NOW.

Just another example of indifferent due process in America. Human rights or civil liberties of Non US citizens needs to be protected by the governments of their own respective countries. The USA has always nationalistally ensured this for its own citizens abroad (I might add if not at home)! But like so many other issues, that which is advantageous to the USA is not reciprocated to the rest of the International Community. Enough is enough. Collective action from all other nations in unison. Wished to say more.

Barbara Shepard

Shocking outcome of a trial based on the testomony of 2 men who admitted to being involved in the crime and made a deal to accused linda of murder in exchange for getting a lesser sentence for themselves. The refusal to appeal for a retrial looked to be based on refusal to be open to the possibility that the original trial was flawed and defensive attorney inadequate. This case needs to be reopened and the sentence overturned whatever the outcome due to her troubled history. As a British citizen she should have been affordable protection from this shambles of American injustice.

No way would a mother who had a child & gave up a child of a rape up then take a pregnant woman to cut out her child with blunt bent edged SCIZZORS -these two guilty men took her car, used her phone in it, after robbing a house took a witness who was pregnant & put her in the boot causing her to suffercaite. Both lied saying she plotted it so they could save there skins by testifying against an innocent party! This poor woman has suffered enough for being a victim of a car & phone theft in Texas

She deserves at least some mercy and compassion - not the death penalty. She is on Death Row at this time.

My Opinion: Inoccent & Free Her at once!

It appears that this woman had the worst representation in the U.S as her defense council. She was convicted on the word of two criminals who traded her for a lighter sentence for themselves. Her defense lawyer, never called her former CIA boss who said later that he would have spoken up for her, there were many unexamined, extenuating circumstances that might have given her at the very least 'life' as apposed to the barbaric death penalty. Guilty or innocent, she deserves a fair trial.

Linda Carty needs a fair trial! I simply can not imagine that in either case that the death penalty will solve any wrong doings this woman may (or most likely, may not) have done!

Her guilt or innocence is unimportant. She was not provided with a suitable defence. Her life should be spared as a British citizen firstly, but secondly as a human being .

Don't take this woman's life - no one deserves to be treated like this. I was shocked to see how flawed Linda's trial was so that is an additional injustice. All involved in the trial should have the decency to admit their mistakes.

Fair trial!! Her life matters, and at the very least, she should be retried and given a fair trial. Don't embarrass us, Texas. Please.

Death row because of criminals' say-so? That's not American justice. The world watches this disgusting travesty.

She did not have a fair trial due to her lawyer. There is no reason for saying no to a re trial. This poor woman!

Marilyn Bloch

I do not believe in death penalty because evidence can prove innocent decades later.

Davis Lupton

There is with out a dought,reasonable dought! If this is carryed out, the ones responsible will be commiting MURDER!!! They will be judged by God.

Virginia Rawls

This is a travesty justice has not been done in this case!! She is 100% innocent her case is full of holes!! There is nothing but circumstantial evidence in a Capital Murder Case how in the world does anyone convict someone based on the unsubstantiated confessions of three convicts and limited physical evidence WITHOUT DNA!!!!

Crystal Fresquez

This woman deserves a fair trial. She was not given any of the legal representation she deserves.

Anne-Marie McInnis

This person has the right to a fair trial. And I condemn her being executed prior to having one. It should be illegal to have her on death row until that is done. A fair trial for Linda Carty please!!!

Mick ONeill

After listening to the documentary about Linda Carty where it stated her lawyer failed her and the men involved were promised jail sentences to say she did the murder and all that statement be true and she is executed then surely the state of Texas is is also guilty of murder, she should be reprieved.

Dianne Hamilton

Linda deserves a second chance at life.

I'm signing because its hard to trust the American judicial system in particular when the defendant is a minority.

Merciful Father, we ask your blessing on all we do to build a culture of life. Hear our prayers for those impacted by the death penalty. We pray for all people, that their lives and dignity as children of a loving God may be respected and protected in all stages and circumstances. We pray for victims of violence and their families, that they may experience our love and support and find comfort in your compassion and in the promise of eternal life. We pray for those on death row, that their lives may be spared, that the innocent may be freed and that the guilty may come to acknowledge their faults and seek reconciliation with you. We pray for the families of those who are facing execution, that they may be comforted by your love and compassion. We pray for civic leaders, that they may commit themselves to respecting every human life and ending the use of the death penalty in our land. Compassionate Father, give us wisdom and hearts filled with your love. Guide us as we work to end the use of the death penalty and to build a society that truly chooses life in all situations. We ask this Father through your Son Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen

David Lamb

She did not get a proper trial. Her defense attorney is a disgrace. I believe she is innocent.

Joseph Leese

I pray for her. I condemn the system in which she is trapped.. Regressive.. Evil and politically charged machine that aims to target minorities... Social problems are ignored... Whilst the so-called judicial system... Consumes and consumes those who are either innocent or without the chance for betterment.. The USA was founded in blood and governs itself with blood.. I call that regressive! I pray for your freedom Linda.

Richelle Veronica Lorraine Turner

End the death penalty

Sara Coburn

poor representation should not happen

Theresa Devine

This woman’s defence appears to have been woefully inadequate. It will be state murder if she is executed. Please reprieve, in the name of justice.

I believe linda is not guilty clearly there was corruption going on as per the others who testified against her but later testified They were scripted to say that. Normally i would never judge character but the jury and the court was in the wrong here.

Thomas Norrell

The US Justice System did not inform the British Embassey or Government that Linda had even been arrested, nevermind the completely inadequit representation at Court. She was not afforded proper legal representation by the Court and none of the diplomatic rules normally applied in such instances, were followed. It seems the US Justice System is above all other Justice Systems - in other words it is un-democratic and a farse. Linda Carty's official British Lawyers have been ignored by the US Justice system and therefore Linda should be removed from Death Row as a mark of respect for proper justice. Listen to her own Lawyers, not the Court-appointed Lawyer who has never ever won a single case. The entire case has been a frame-up by the US Justice System from the start and Linda Carty should be removed from Death Row immediately.

Sharon asher

I believe Linda carty is innocent and shouldn't be executed and freed from death row immediately she is a,lovely caring lady who shouldn't be on death row at all I wish Linda all the best and I Hooe she is freed really soon and not executed for her sake and also fur her daughter and Linda's family and friends sake too if she were toi be executed it would be devastating for Linda's family friends and supporters I Hooe by signing this petition it goes some way too stop Linda being executed and freed from death row

I do not agree that Linda should get the death sentence!!! They have unstable evidence, given to them by the man who was also convicted. She has been in prison for so many years now. I’m not sure if she has killed Johanna or not. So I don’t believe she should be given the death sentence!!

Anne Zabel

Nobody should die by law

Dallas Texas

I truly believe Linda is guilty of letting three felons borrow her cars to commit this crime. I believe she was framed. I pray to God that she be delivered if she is truly innocent. Please God. And may the victim REST IN PEACE.

Christina Cruise

I disagree with Linda's conviction and ask that the court, will overturn her death penalty case and grant her a new trial on the merits. It is unconstitutional because she didn't have a fair trial from a jury of her peers, racial bias contributed to her conviction, and the prosecution case against her was based entirely on the unreliable testimony of prior convicted felons as key witnesses, these key eye witnesses were offered time off their then current sentences as an exchange for a perjured testimony, lastly no DNA evidence linked Ms.Carty to this heinous crime. The criminal Court system favor finality over fairness.

Obvious the 3 men were involved in the killing. I don't understand why she lent them her car when she barely knew them but that doesn't make her a murderer.

Thomas B

She definitely didn’t kill that poor woman, she doesn’t deserve to be on death row releasing her is the only just action by a civilised society.

Howard Pearson

Definitely didn't receive a fair first trial as no defence team working for her and advising what to say or not at particular moments

It is blatantly obvious that Linda Carty didn't commit the act of murder. She was blatantly obviously not given a fair trial. The Prosecutors who asked the other culprits to lie in court on testimony should themselves be put on trial for perjury of the judicial system and for perverting the course of justice in a supposedly democratic country. Free Linda Carty with compensation
