Action Alert

TAKE ACTION: OPPOSE THE 1,000TH EXECUTION IN THE UNITED STATES

Robin Lovitt is scheduled to be executed in Virginia on November 30, which would mark the gruesome milestone of the 1,000th execution in the United States since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. Amnesty International is concerned that most of the small amount of DNA evidence presented at trial linking Lovitt to the crime was illegally destroyed by a court clerk to free up space in court storage rooms, before Lovitt could appeal against his conviction.

Urge Governor Warner to make a difference by granting clemency to Robin Lovitt.

ACT NOW
