This petition is designed to bring awareness to the case of Rudy Medrano who is on Texas Death Row. Rudy was sentenced to death under the Law of Parties. Texas is the only state that sentences people to death under this law. Rudy was never at the crime scene. Rudy did not conspire to kill anyone, and had no knowledge that a murder would occur. Under the Law of Parties, juries can convict and sentence people to death based on the fact that the defendant should have anticipated that a crime would occur. Rudy could not have anticipated that murder would occur because he was not involved in the conspiracy to commit the crime and was never at the crime scene.Rudy was unfairly sentenced to death in Texas. The petition will be given to the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole and Governor Rick Perry in an attempt to save Rudy's life.

This man has always claimed his innocents. Since I met him at the hidalgo county jail . I have visited him on death row several times. An In justus has been done to this man and his family. Our prayers I believe have been answered. The truth coming out. This mans must be release.

I pray the signatures needed for this petition exceed its goal, but most importantly I pray that Rodolfo 'Rudy' Medrano be granted a second chance; a fair & just hearing.

I know Rudy since we were in Elementary school and he is a very smart, intelligent, and caring person!! Never did I think he would end up in such an unfortunate situation! He deserves to have his case reviewed give him the opportunity to prove his innocence and take him out of death row!

Rudy is a great person. He doesn't deserve bring on death row. He shouldn't be paying for a crime he didn't commit. He was not there. His biggest mistake was hanging around with the wrong crowd which happens to the best of us.

I understand there is a punishment needed but he was not involved in the shooting he was not the trigger man nor was he around nor was he aware of what was guna happen death is not what should be done there plenty who should be up for that but where are they on probation or walking with a slap in the had.
