Police Interrogation and American Justice
Thomas Arthur granted stay of execution based on confession by man claiming to be the killer.
Read Justice:Denied’s / The Justice Institute’s July 18, 2008 letter to Alabama Governor Bob Riley.

Arthur has spent more than 20 years on Alabama’s death row while the State of Alabama has fought tooth and nail to block the forensic/DNA testing of blood, hair, sperm and other evidence recovered from the crime scene that Arthur claims will prove he is innocent of the murder he was convicted of committing.
Written by Justice:Denied’s publisher Hans Sherrer.
