James Lee Clark, April 11, TX

February 09, 2010 Subject: I wish to appeal to you on behalf of JAMES LEE CLARK, who is due to be executed on April 11, 2007. My sympathies go out to the family and loved ones of Shari Catherine Crews 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 JAMES LEE CLARK. The state of Texas should not execute James Lee Clark for his role in this crime. Executing Clark 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. Also, in June 2002, the Supreme Court ruled in Atkins v. Virginia that the state cannot execute someone who is mentally retarded. Several experts have found Clark’s IQ to be under 70, thus fitting the definition of mental retardation. Thank you for your time and consideration in this important and urgent matter. We will add your signature from the information you provide.
