Update: NAACP PRESS RELEASE. Contact person, Mary Ratliff, NAACP MO. State Conference President. 573-881-0163, Dated June 5, 2009.
NAACP National Board Member Harold Crumpton and NAACP Missouri President State Conference Mary Ratliff are requesting Governor Jay Nixon appoint a Board of inquiry and grant clemency to Reggie Clemons who is on death row scheduled to be executed June 17, 2009.It is wrong to put to death someone who clearly might be innocent. Our nation and our state are better than that. It is not only unjust for Reggie, but for the victims who deserve to have the real killer punished. Executing the innocent is a mistake that cannot be rectified. The Missouri State Conference is calling on supporters to fax [phone]), send letters and e-mails to Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and sign petition for clemency for Reggie Clemons at http://www.justiceforreggie.com.
