On April 17, 1996, Frederick Carter and his accomplice took the life of Lawrence Leon during the armed robbery of his Birmingham, Alabama restaurant. Carter, the one who shot and murdered Mr. Leon, already had a long criminal record. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, which allows him to be considered for parole. His accomplice was convicted of Capital Murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Mr. Leon, a life-long Birmingham resident and popular business man, was active in his community and church. He was a loving husband to Joann; father to Fran, Phil and Rosie; and devoted grandfather of six. Please help our family and friends voice the outrage against the consideration of parole for Frederick Carter, a menace to society, who committed this violent crime. Speak for Mr. Leon- please sign our petition to keep this murderer behind bars.

I am spending my afternoons sending these signatures directly to the parole board members. Post this link on your Facebook pages and text three friends who remember the impact my father had on our city. We need to ensure they see the scale of this opposition before they make their final decision.

This man is a menace to society. How is he even being considered for parole?? Keep this murderer behind bars where he belongs!

Keep him locked up. He took a life and should never get to walk free again. My heart goes out to the Leon family.

Thinking of the Leon family today. Justice for Lawrence needs to be served. No parole for a murderer.

Absolutely not. He took a father and grandfather away from his family. He should stay in prison forever.

Never get out. He did the crime now he does the time.
