Do Not Execute Edward Jerome Harbison!

Do Not Execute Edward Harbison!

Edward Harbison, TN

September 26, 2007

On September 26, 2007, Tennessee is set to execute Edward Jerome Harbison for the January 15, 1983 murder of Edith Russell.


The state of Tennessee should not execute Harbison for his role in this crime. Executing Harbison would violate the right to life as declared in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and constitute the ultimate cruel, inhumane and degrading punishment. Furthermore, Harbison was not the only man supposedly involved in the crime; David Schreary was also a suspect though he was not convicted. Though initially Harbison confessed to the crime, he later retracted his statement, claiming that he only made it because the police threatened that if he did not confess to the crime, they would arrest his girlfriend Janice Duckett and take her children away. Janice Duckett testified under other that Edward was at her house the night of the murder.
 

Please write to Gov. Phil Bredesen on behalf of Edward Jerome Harbison!
