The Governor of Tennessee must stop an execution scheduled for 18 June in his state because he cannot rely on the jury's original sentencing decision, Amnesty International said today, releasing a



"Having learned of exculpatory and mitigating evidence kept from them at trial 16 years ago, eight of the original trial jurors have said that they no longer have confidence in their sentencing verdict", Amnesty International said.

"Governor Phil Bredesen cannot have confidence in it either."

Hi,

I am from Bristol, England. Though I come from a different part of the world, I grew up here and I call it my home. I have my own religion, which consists of most of the main line religions with a spiced bit of mine, and only suits me (call it a one man religion). So [please do not confuse me with any clan, cread or nation..

I have been supporting the cause of IMC for a few years on a voluntery non-intrusive way, yeah call it lurking and posting ghost like, if you want to. But I have a different way of life, of which, neither am I proud of nor do I feel ashame. I found this on the Amnesty International web site and tried to understand the attitude of these people who lives in the State of Tennessee. So I tried to find any IMCs in and around the State of Tennessee and found none, or is it that, my geography is not up to the task.

So from the bottom of my heart I ask you "Why there are no IMCs in THe State Of Tennesseee?" , by publishing this little note in every one of the other IMCs in North Americas. Please do not take this as a criticism, but a statement which needs some clarification on a not so enlightened person. Thank you.

A Shariff
