In the last two weeks, 1,200 people have written letters to Alabama
Gov. Bob Riley calling on him to grant DNA testing to death row
inmate Tommy Arthur before allowing the state to execute a man who
may be innocent.

Today, six men who were sentenced to die and served
time on death row but were ultimately exonerated through DNA testing
urged Riley to immediately order DNA testing in Arthur's case.

They wrote: "If we had never been granted DNA testing, we might not
be alive today. Few people have been in Mr. Arthur's position, but we
have and that's why we're appealing to you to order DNA testing in
this case. His execution has been delayed by the U.S. Supreme Court
for other reasons, leaving plenty of time for DNA testing to be
completed if you order it now."

If you haven't already sent an email to Gov. Riley asking for DNA
testing for Tommy Arthur, you can send one right now through the
Innocence Project's website. It takes just 30 seconds to send a clear 
message that you support truth in justice. Arthur has spent more than
 
two decades on Alabama's death row for a murder he says he didn't
commit. DNA testing could provide compelling evidence of his
innocence or guilt, but the courts and the governor have denied
testing. Riley has the power to order testing in this case, and he
needs to hear from all of us.
