Justice For Arthur Tyler

Perhaps the bleakest fact of all is that the death penalty is imposed not only in a freakish and discriminatory manner, but also in some cases upon defendants who are actually innocent. -Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., 1994

This you all are

                                                           

                                                                     Wendy and Arthur

To Wendy, Karen and everyone who have come to lend their support for my fight for justice and freedom,

I would like to thank you for the letters and cards I have recieved. I would also like to thank the people who signed my petition, and I pray many more sign it.

Thank you for the energy that you send my way.

To the Sisters, I thank you for the prayers you are saying for me.

Thank you also to all on my Myspace site for your support. It means so much to me.

You are all a blessing to life and I appreciate everything you do to give this fight strength through your concern and support.

No matter what the outcome is, I thank you all for trying.

Anyone who sends a self addressed envelope will always get a response but I know I won't be able to respond to every letter but I will do my best.

For now this is the way I can thank people.

I pray for your health, happiness and peace of mind.

May God Bless and Keep you always.

Much Love to you all

Arthur.



This You All Are


You never really know true treasure
Until in darkness you get to see
What you couldn't see in the light
Though it had always shined beautifully

When people all come together
from around the world, end to end
to lend their support to another
The gem of strangers becoming friends

This is an essence of beauty
bought treasures can never show

this is what you all are
True treasures and beautiful

Arthur Tyler 2008

Albert Camus (1957)

An execution is not simply death. It is just as different from the privation of life as a concentration camp is from prison. It adds to death a rule, a public premeditation known to the future victim, an organization which is itself a source of moral sufferings more terrible than death. Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated can be compared. For there to be an equivalency, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life.

Sister Helen Prejean

 The profound moral question is not, "Do they deserve to die?" but "Do we deserve to kill them?"

Harry A. Blackmun, former U.S. Supreme Court Judge, (1) & (2) Callins v. Collins, 114 S.Ct.1127 (1994); (3) PBS Online NewsHour, 3/5/2004; (4) Herrera v. Collins 506 US 390 (1993).

Of one thing, however, I am certain. Just as an execution without adequate safeguards is unacceptable, so too is an execution when the condemned prisoner can prove that he is innocent. The execution of a person who can show that he is innocent comes perilously close to simple murder.

Sister Helen Prejean

It should be clear that the death penalty does just the opposite of promoting decency and respect for life. It dehumanizes people and promotes murder. It can never be applied fairly.


“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. . Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.. Elie Wiesel Nobel Prize for Peace in 1986

You just need to be a flea against injustice. Enough committed fleas biting strategically can make even the biggest dog uncomfortable and transform even the biggest nation.

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.  Elie Wiesel

Martin Luther King

 Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. 

Edmund Burke (attributed)

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
