We must stop this! <!--break--> Dear Governor Schwarzenegger: We call upon you to stop the execution of Kevin Cooper. Nationwide, prosecutors have had the wrong man in 112 capital murder cases, forcing innocent men and women to spend years on death row facing execution for crimes they did not commit. On February 10, the state of California plans to execute Kevin Cooper, a 45-year-old African American man who has been on death row for 20 years. We ask you to stay Kevin Cooper's execution so that a thorough investigation can be conducted to answer questions about the evidence against him-especially about evidence that was never heard by the jury. • On June 4, 1983, Peggy, Doug and Jessica Ryen and a houseguest were brutally murdered in San Bernardino County. The youngest member of the family, Josh Ryen, 8, managed to survive. When local police learned that Kevin Cooper had walked off the grounds of a minimum security prison just days before the murders, Cooper became the primary suspect - despite the fact that Josh Ryen told police and his grandmother that the killers were three white or Latino men and despite the fact that at least one confession by an individual unconnected to Kevin Cooper supports this statement. • The State of California conducted DNA tests on Cooper, but the integrity of this evidence is highly questionable. Blood and saliva samples taken at the time of his arrest were released to a technician involved in the prosecution, and held for twenty-four hours without a court order or the knowledge of Cooper's legal team. • Clumps of long, blond hair were found in the hands of one of the victims. Photographs of this hair, which clearly does not belong to Cooper, were never shown to the jury. The prosecution has refused to allow testing that could determine just whose hair it is. • Bloody coveralls submitted to the police by a woman claiming that they had been left at her house by her boyfriend around the time of the murders were tossed in a dumpster without any testing. The woman was never brought in to testify. A study published by the Santa Clara Law Review in December 2003 exposes over 80 problems in California's death penalty system, declaring it "seriously flawed and dangerously unjust." We ask you to review the facts of this case and decide for yourself whether Kevin's guilt has been established "beyond a reasonable doubt." There are serious questions about Kevin Cooper's case and California's flawed death penalty system which need to be addressed before the state kills another prisoner. If you agree, please take action now. Call, fax or email Governor Schwarzenegger. GOV. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER Phone number: 916-445-2841 Fax number: 916-445-4633 E-mail address: governor@governor.ca.gov We, the undersigned, believe there are critical questions to be answered before the State of California executes Kevin Cooper, especially about the evidence that was never heard by the jury. We call upon you to stop the execution of Kevin Cooper.
