TalkLeft points to a clemency petition that appears to be very worthwhile (I am against the death penalty, so all of them are worthwhile, but this one appears to really have a good case):
Louis Jones Jr. is scheduled to die by lethal injection March 18 at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind. He has exhausted his appeals….
After the trial, a Dallas researcher who has studied veterans of the 1991 war against Iraq concluded that Jones suffered from a severe form of Gulf War Syndrome from exposure to sarin nerve gas and other toxins….
Jones’ attorney filed a clemency request with Bush in December, seeking a life sentence without parole. Jones has also written personally to the president, admitting his crime and expressing remorse….
Veterans should always get the benefit of the doubt, but this case is particularly compelling.
