Do Not Execute Corey Hamilton!

Jan. 9, 2007, OK

Corey Hamilton was convicted for an Aug. 1992 robbery of a Tulsa restaurant, and in the murder of 4 employees of that restaurant during the robbery. Three other codefendants were convicted for their roles in the robbery and murder and received life sentences.

Hamilton should not receive the death penalty for his role in these crimes. Executing Hamilton would violate the right to life as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and would constitute the ultimate cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment. Furthermore, he was only 23 years old at the time of the crime, and had no previous criminal record. No one else involved in the crime received a death sentence.

Corey Hamilton is the son of Wilbur and Joslyn Hamilton, who have been married for 37 years, and reside in Tulsa. Corey has two brothers, William and Brian, and a sister Roslyn.

Please write to Gov. Brad Henry on behalf of Corey Hamilton!

I wish to appeal to you on behalf of COREY HAMILTON, who is due to be executed on Jan. 9, 2007. My sympathies go out to the family and loved ones of the victims, and I agree this was a very tragic event that cannot go unpunished. However, the death penalty—which only serves to create more victims and perpetuate a cycle of violence—is not the right punishment for COREY HAMILTON. Executing COREY HAMILTON would violate the right to life as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and constitute the ultimate cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment. Please find it in your heart to spare the life of this human being. Thank you for your time and consideration in this important and urgent matter.
