to the Governor of Illinoisfrom "Hands off Cain", citizens' and parliamentarians' league for the abolition of death penalty by 2000.
Sir:
no execution for Girvies Davis, not only because he may be innocent, not only because he may be mentally handicapped, not only because 17 years have passed since he was accused, not only because the death penalty is a cruel punishement, but, above all, because, right now, the life of one of your citizens is in your hands and in the hands of the State.This is injust, even if Davis may be guilty, because after 17 years a person is different from when the crime was comitted.
