Tallahassee Citizens Against the Death Penalty Update
Dear TCADP members: Here’s an update about the pending execution of Martin Grossman, and about a talk by Mayor John Marks that TCADP is cosponsoring Feb. 2.
Florida Alternatives to the Death Penalty has requested our help in doing the following in connection with the execution of Martin Grossman, which is scheduled for Feb. 16.
1. Write letters and call Governor Charlie Crist to ask him to call for a time-out on executions and do a thorough study of Florida’s Death Penalty. Tell him to PLEASE STOP signing Death Warrants. Florida’s governor has the decision-making authority to do this. Letters can be short, even two to three sentences long.
2. Sign up to receive future action alerts and news from Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP) at http://www.facebook.com/l/b107b;www.fadp.org/esubscribe.html.
3. Forward this action to a friend (or five!) and have them contact Governor Crist too.”

In September 2006 an Assessment Team of the American Bar Association released a report in which
they found numerous flaws in the way the death penalty is administered in Florida.
Our state should have responded to the ABA Assessment by suspending all executions until its findings are addressed. Instead…
Florida responded with 3 executions.

Gail Anderson, Attorney for Prisoners on Death Row
Dale Landry, Tallahassee Chapter of the NAACP
Marty McClain, Attorney for Prisoners on Death Row

“…Florida’s Gutter of Shame.”
October 17, 2006 on 3:07 pm | In Associated organization, TCADP actions | No Comments |The American Bar Association selected nine states, including Florida, for close examination to determine whether those convicted of capital crimes are receiving fair representation, whether our system really works. The Assessment Team have just completed their assessment of Florida, and the report was released in September. They found serious flaw and made a number of significant recommendations.
TCADP and the Tallahassee branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will co-sponsor a public forum, “The Death Penalty as Public Policy: Florida’s ‘Gutter of Shame.’” The panel will include, among others, representatives from the NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union, a member of the Florida Assessment Team of the American Bar Association, and an attorney who represents many clients on Florida’s death row.
