Friends,

Important news about the ClarenceHill/Razzaq Muhammad execution.

The vigil at Raiford last night was attended by over 50 concerned Floridians from diverse religious, ethnic and racial backgrounds…united in their opposition to the Death Penalty. A bus from the Orlando Diocese brought several dozen folks, picking them up at cities across mid-Florida. There were local vigils held around the state.

Sentence carried out ….

Clarence E Hill/Bro. Razzaq Muhammad put to death by the State Of Florida.

No stay in Clarence Hill Case

Sad news. The report has just arrived that the U.S. Supreme Court denied Clarence Hill’s appeal in a 5-4 vote. He will be executed at 6:00 p.m. They voted 5-4 to deny another stay. Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, David Souter and John Paul Stevens would have granted the stay, the court said in a two-sentence order.

TCADP will hold two services.

VIGIL at the Governor’s Mansion tonight, beginning shortly before 6:00.
SERVICE OF REMEMBRANCE at the Capitol Rotunda tomorrow (Thursday) at noon.

Clarence Hill to die this Wednesday evening, September 20, at 6:00 p.m

It is increasingly likely that the state of Florida will take the life of Clarence Hill this Wednesday evening, September 20, at 6:00 p.m. Follow the news; if a stay is granted, it will be at the last minute.

If a stay is not granted, I encourage you to be a witness against this action of the state by attending one or both of the following services:

Vigil at the Governor’s Mansion–Wednesday, 5:45 p.m.
Service of Remembrance at Capitol Rotunda–Thursday, noon.

Each of these will be a brief, dignified service to remind our leaders and the public that a growing number of Florida’s citizens stand against this misuse of the state’s power. Walter Moore
