PRESS RELEASE FROM FLORIDIANS FOR ALTERNATIVES TO THE DEATH PENALTY (FADP.org)21 February 2003 FADP CONTACT: Abe Bonowitz: 800-973-6548 THERE IS REASON FOR DOUBT IN THE CASE AGAINST AMOS KING Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP) has established a web page highlighting the major questions still unresolved in the case of Amos King, who is scheduled to be exterminated by the people of the state of Florida on February 26, 2003, at 6pm, in revenge for his alleged murder of Natalie Brady. "The nutshell here is that there is no conclusive evidence to point to Amos King." said Abe Bonowitz, director of FADP. "I don't believe that Governor Bush wants to leave himself open to the accusation that he killed a prisoner where there was doubt about the man's guilt." The new section of FADP's web page features an outline format raising major questions at http://www.fadp.org/amoskinginnocent.html , as well as a longer text summary prepared by David Menschel of the Innocence Project at http://www.fadp.org/amoskingsummary.html. Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty calls on
Governor Bush to commute Amos King's death sentence to life
without the possibility of parole, and to enact an immediate
"Time-Out" on executions in Florida. SENT BY:
