Linda was not given a fair trial. Over the course of her entire life, she has been failed by society, the state of Texas, the legal system and her 'Lawyer'. I believe, regardless of Linda's innocence, she deserves to be given another lifeline and a fair chance to fight her case.
Given the current evidence and the clear list of failures, Linda's involvement in the unfortunate events that led her to death row become questionable. And the prosecutions evidence and jurors decision should be reviewed.
Killing Linda Carty is not going to undo any wrong doings, neither will it bring the victim back or bring any closure to the situation. Therefore, I would like you to take this as my formal written notice towards the petition asking that Linda Carty be spared execution.
Best,
Saman

This woman deserves a fair trial. ths was clearly not the case and therefore the USA state of Texas can not say she deserves to die until she has had fair access to justice. Shame on you Texas

This woman has been treated unfairly and she hasn't had the support which she deserves. We strongly disagree with the death penalty, and Linda deserves the support of the British public and government in order to bring justice to the case. An eye-opening case which has revealed numerous flaws of the Texas legal system - Linda was represented by one of the State's capital defence attorneys, who's had over 20 of his clients end up on Death Row. How does this portray a fair trial? With no substantially strong evidence nor 100% certainty that Linda convicted the crime, it seems incredulous that she could be sentenced to execution. This woman who has suffered a troublesome life involving drugs, rape and still remains strong, hopeful and full of love for her family, deserves rehabilitation and a fair trail. It is mind-blowing that in today's society, the death penalty still exists - murder of any sort - legal or illegal should not be condemned. What will the execution of Linda Carty achieve? She deserves the right to live.

Linda Carty's trial was so flawed and so many errors made that the state of Texas surely can not put her to death. I do not agree with the death sentence, although in some cases can see why some people do. But with Linda Carty the evidence is not strong enough to put her to death, and she deserves the right to life.

I cannot believe that this woman is going to be executed even with everyone realising that the case has so many flaws and so many things that should have been done have not been done. Surely the UK should take on this case, reopen it and do things correctly.

The representation for Linda Carty failed her. She should have the opportunity to have her case re-heard

Where there is so much doubt, no-one should be facing death. Her original lawyer should be struck off. His actions or rather the lack of them highlight the problems of the death penalty.

In a civilised country every person must have a right to to a fair trail including capable counsel. This clearly is not the case with Ms Carty. I hope the relevant Governor agrees to reassess the actual facts of this case. Please dont execute this person where there is so much reasonable doubt.

Linda deserves a fair trial. The ruling is flawed and her imprisonment is unjust.

She should be given a life sentence at most...even though there were soo many mistakes in her initial trial I would personally suggest she get re-trialed for the crime. Obviously more REAL investigation into case is needed.
