Governor Nixon, we the undersigned believe that the facts surrounding the murders of Julie and Robin Kerry on the Chain of Rocks Bridge in 1991 have yet to be fully uncovered. Beatings, forced confessions by the police, prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective counsel and other factors make this a classic case of reasonable doubt. Reggie Clemons has not received due process and justice yet he sits on Missouri’s death row awaiting execution. Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.

Dear Governor Blunt,
I am writing to plead with you to halt the execution of Reggie Clemmons. Based on the information I have on his case I believe him to be innocent and am asking for time for his case to be thoroughly investigated.
I have personally seen and know of people who were sentenced for murder and then exonorated. A friend of mine’s brother was accused and sentenced to life in prison for a murder which he did not commit. He was later found to be innocent and released from prison. While we are grateful that he was exonerated the worst case scenario would have been spending his life in prison.
In the case of a death sentence being imposed there is no way to go back, no way to reverse, no way to restore the man’s life.
I am sure that in the interest of justice no one would take a chance like that.
Govenor Blunt, you have the power to stop his execution and allow for the facts of his case to be fully exposed. I am begging you to give him this chance and allow him to live. I am sure you will not regret this decision to choose life.
Thank you for your consideration of this most serious matter.
Sincerely,
Linda Austin
je viens de lire le dossier sur ce condamné a mort, je pense qu il faut revisé son cas car il est innocent.

Governor Blunt, please give Mr Reggie Clemons due process and justice. Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.
Hi,
I read his cas, and I can’t understand, how justice can make so big mistakes. There is so much misunderstood in this case.
Governor, You have the power to decide that this case must have a complete revision, please let it do.

Dear Governor,
The death penalty is a cruelty; it is against the universal declaration for human rigts and against christian principles which you should not forget.
Respectfully yours.
please if you believe in jehovah,or god period,spare the life of reggie clemons for the sake that he will spare you your own life, and in the bible it says that human dont have the right to judge each other, and you should leave the judging for him on judgement day who gave u the right to feel that ecution is right,its sad that the people with all this power don’t care about the people they are here to protect and try to cut down the crime not help the rate go up,i bet you don’t go to bed at night knowing that you just killed someones brother, cousin, sister,mom or dad but what if that was a family member of yours would you kill them let say for instance if it was your mother,father,brother would you have the death penility for them u should think about this before considering taking someone eleses life god didn’t put you here to do the judging he said leave that up to him.
This man should be free …..

I attended the screening of “The Color of Justice” on July 21st at Tivol in St. louis, MO. I’m asking Governor Blunt to please consider the one-hundred and twenty people who have been exonerated and released from death penalty after being found innocent through modern technology. I don’t understand how a person can be on death row in a case that lacks evidence and has so much reasonable doubt. It’s so obvious that there is no justice in this case. The cousin of the two young ladies’ claimed he had been beatened by the police and forced to confess to the murders. The three young black men made the same claims but they were not believed. The white guy got a $150,000 lawsuit settlement, but two of the three black men got the death penalty and one life in prison. The only white guy involved is out on parole. There is clearly a “Color of Justice!!!” in this case. Governor Blunt I’m asking you to please review the facts in this case. I have faith that you wouldn’t want an innocent man to be executed.
St. louis, MO
Governor Blunt,I may better understand this execution if somebody or anybody had to pay for the crimes of these young ladies lives lost or I’ll completely understand if you wanted to bring her family some kind of closure to this tradgedy on both accounts, if that was the case which it very much seems,as well it seems that it was too much pressure built on this high profile case like this that somebody has to pay, not caring who it affects but as long as some kind of justice is served at the end of the day to keep a little skin on your neck,It’s just ashame seeing that his court case transcript has more holes in than Chief Mokwa “not knowing crap” so if putting a innocent man to death makes you feel dictorial than you sir,with no surprise of mine own will have more of burden on your mind and soul than Reginald Clemmons himself you know why? Lord forbidd his head get cold before the truth is known before us but,I’m pretty sure a man in his situation has already made peace with himself and GOD knowing in his heart if it’s his time to it’s his time without control of you or anybody else just knowing the fact his children might not understand the circumstances surrounding his innocence without contamination from the judisical system itself.

It is in the hands of the judicial system to remedy this situation. To refuse to do so under the equitable powers possessed by judges, will lessen all of us who work in the court system. This is a tragic case and my heart goes out to the family of these wrongfully incarcerated men.
stop a l execution la peine de mort est un chatiment pas digne de l homme
Since I discovered the serious irregularities that have marred Troy Davis’ trial - and the decision whether he will be executed on September 23rd is due today - I have started researching all people in death row in the US, and what I am discovering is shocking.
What I have discovered is that it is more important to “produce” a murderer, especially black, for any crime committed, than to investigate fairly, at the “risk” of coming to no conclusion.
That it is better to produce a simulacre of justice by killing a man than admitting to not knowing enough of the facts.
That once a man has been condemned, even if subsequent facts come to light to cast serious doubts about his involvement in a crime, his fate is most likely sealed.
I appeal to justice that Reginald Clemons doesn’t become another textbook case of the execution of another innocent black man.
I appeal to you to give him a new and fair trial.
you have power to make real justice, please do it and use your authority to halt his execution, please, review the facts in this case, We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.
Governor Blunt -
Your tenure of hatred and savage inequality is now over. As a last measure of attempting to save face after your debilitating incumbency, consider relieving the innocent and wrongly accused Reggie Clemons from Missouri’s row of death for inmates. In addition to capitol punishment being indecent and crude, it has become an increasingly sensitive case for Mr. Clemons’ imprisonment to continue. This is a rare last chance for a racist conservative like yourself to do a good deed before you leave your office without future opportunities to correct your past wrongs.
I do not thank you for the cuts to education, welfare and health benefits, and I condemn your term as governor as being one of the darkest in civilized Missouri’s history, yet I still offer you a chance for clemency if you agree to do the same for Mr. Clemons.
Frankly,

to governor blunt.
people over here in germany are totally horrified because of the death penalities.as a governor you do represent the united states in the whole world.how can you do explain a life for not worth living?how can you take a look in the mirror, and how do you sleep?what kind of example is it you are giving to all of us?shame on you.
wann immer ich darüber lese oder spreche, macht es mich fast ohnmächtig vor wut.und die gewissheit, dass auch sie am ende ihres lebens vor ihrem richter stehen und schuldig gesprochen werden, nimmt diese ohnmacht und diese wut nicht.
wie kann man sich nur anmassen, über das leben und sterben anderer menschen zu entscheiden. sie erklären einen mörder - in so vielen, unzähligen fällen sind es ja gar keine mörder - für nicht lebenswert. dass sie durch ihre entscheidungen selbst zu einem mörder werden, der es ja in ihren augen nicht wert ist zu leben, scheinen sie dabei ganz ausser acht zu lassen.

Dear Governor Blunt,
Every 14 days another American is exonerated using DNA evidence. As DNA is only applicable in 15% of the cases, the data strongly points to a high number of factually innocent people incarcerated. Many of them are on death row. For this reason, if for no other, we must put a moratorium on all executions until our justice system can confirm without a reasonable doubt that those sentenced to die are truly guilty.
I beg you to halt Reggie Clemon’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.

Do not make yourself party to a state-sanctioned murder. It behooves you to re-open the case and order further investigation, by some third parties if possible.
How can you not investigate further into a situation that has by all account proven this man to be innocent of the cause of death to these young ladies? It’s not even a matter of whether it’s fair or not. You took an oath for justice…..Let it be served!
We must fight for Reginal Clemons, an innocent man on death row!!!!
Govenor Nixon,
Please overturn Reggie Clemons death sentence. We cannot afford to have an innocent man excuted.

I have been through countless wrongly accused blogs and have read so many different wrongly accused posts, glad I came across Petition for Clemency for Reginald Clemons : justice for reggie clemons great work.
Wrongful conviction is not a myth!
The number is growing with 1 too many.
I am Reginald Clemons niece, he was imprisoned when i was 6years old. I can’t remember ever meeting him or having the luxury of having a connection with my fathers brother. I am now 24 years old with two children who will possibly never meeting their uncle. It hurts to know that my uncle was not given a fair trial and their is no hard evidence to prove that the allegations even took place. I truely believe that the accused was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Have americans really come to a point where they just don’t care about the value of an innocent life. I am just another voice of those who understand and know what it is like to lose a family member to an unfair justice system. A confession was given by the cousin of the kerry sister and was competely disregarded and he was actually beaten to tell a lie and paid for it. I just pray that we as ppl come to a point where we can understand our justice system. FIGHT FOR REGGIE better yet fight for an american and stand for something. I love you Uncle reginald
FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE, FIGHT FOR HIS RIGHTS, FIGHT TO BE AN AMERICAN AND MAKE A CHANGE. OBAMA SAID “IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE” AND THAT INCLUDES THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. MAKE A CHANGE IN SOMEONES LIFE AND BE THE VOICE OF REASON AND EQUAL RIGHTS.
AS A FAMILY MEMBER I DO NOT ENCOURAGE YOU TO WRITE NASTY AND HATEFULL MESSAGES. DONT MAKE A HORRIBLE SITUATION WORSE THAN WHAT IT IS BE ENCOURAGING AND RESPECTFUL TO OUR FAMIY AND REGINALD CLEMONS. DONT LET THE JUSTICE SYSTEM BEAT US, BEAT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM WITH KNOWLEDGE.
reggie should be free and tony marlin was wrongly executed
FREE REGGIE!!!!!!!
Please give Reggie Clemons his due Freedom.
I knew about the chain of rocks bridge case since i was 8 years old and i was born in 1990. I never paid any attention to it because i was so young, until highschool. Now i feel emtoinal about the racial injustice that we african-americans experience and for that reason, i want to decicate my life to help those who need it.

Every human life is worthy and the life of Mr. Reginald Clemons is no different. This man was a child at the time a crime was committed. His life should be valued enough to fully explore the facts of the crime to make sure that justice is being served.
There is nothing here that suggests that this man should be killed. It is my hope and prayer that no innocent person be wrongfully murdered by the state.
Please re-examine the facts of this case. Then evaluate whether the blood of this man should be on your hands.

Dear Governor Nixon:
Please review the case of Reggie Clemons carefully, especially in light of of the gross misconduct of St. Louis police and the notorious and chronic misconduct of former prosecutor Nels Moss.
Please grant clemency to Reginald Clemons.
Dear Governor Nixon,
Please review this case. Remember that there is no way back on this one and that at present there is reasonable doubt as to whether the accussed is guilty. If he is not guilty you will be state-sanctioning murder if you do not act to get him released.

Reggie deserves another opportunity to live for God. Life if God’s to give and take.
Please review the case of Reggie Clemons. He deserves justice.
There is not enough evidence against Reggie Clemons to justify conviction, much less execution. Do justice, stick to the rule of law, and do not execute one more innocent man.
Dear Governor Nixon:
Please review the case of Reggie Clemons carefully, especially in light of of the gross misconduct of St. Louis police and the notorious and chronic misconduct of former prosecutor Nels Moss.
There should be a new trial! Please review and reconsider the case and options for Reggie Clemons. If anything, he should be freed based on lack of evidence!
St. Louis, Missouri
Dear Governor, if this case was at least reviewed the lack of evidence would take him off death row. I know you don’t want this to be on your contious, so do what’s within your power to at least help justice for all…
The issues in this case need to be carefully reviewed. Please consider clemency for Reggie Clemmons.
Let the truth come out. Justice is not served when we ignore facts, and justice is never served with the death penalty.
Governor Nixon, we the undersigned believe that the facts surrounding the murders of Julie and Robin Kerry on the Chain of Rocks Bridge in 1991 have yet to be fully uncovered. Beatings, forced confessions by the police, prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective counsel and other factors make this a classic case of reasonable doubt. Reggie Clemons has not received due process and justice yet he sits on Missouri’s death row awaiting execution. Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.
We must outlaw the inhumanity of the death penalty now!
Life and Death is in the hands of God. Let’s not take His place by claiming to act on behalf of the law created by men whose hearts are desperately wicked.
How many young innocent black men must be executed before the world sees America for what it is. A unjust country from the moment it was founded.
Dear Missouri State Officials:
Please review the facts of Reggie Clemmons case. DO NOT allow another man to serve time or the possibility of the death penalty without considering the hard facts. If there isn’t any credible evidence let him go. If you don’t find it in your heart to do so, please remember that you reap what you sow. Live by the sword and you will die by the sword. No threat, just the truth.

CONSIDERING THE NATURE OF THE CRIME COMMITTED AND THE PROCESS IN WHICH CLEMONS WAS CONVICTED AND SENTENCED, CLEMONS DESERVES NOT MERE CLEMENCY, BUT A NEW TRIAL. IF CLEMONS IS INNOCENT AND EXECUTED, A REAL MURDERER WILL WALK FREE. IS THE STATE OF MISSOURI OK WITH THIS?
stop all of this, stop !!
CLEMENCY! At the least dna testing.
Please review and reconsider the case and options for Reggie Clemons. If anything, he should be freed based on lack of evidence!
I wish the best for you Reggie I remember when you would get on the school bus with me and you always had on a sleevless shirt a few chains around your waist very different in style u were

This is immoral and our Country continues to pay the price for our continued disrespect of human life. Governor please put race and politics aside and free Mr. Clemons.

I second the comment made by someone earlier. His comment:
“Governor Blunt, we the undersigned believe that the facts surrounding the murders of Julie and Robin Kerry on the Chain of Rocks Bridge in 1991 have yet to be fully uncovered. Beatings, forced confessions by the police, prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective counsel and other factors make this a classic case of reasonable doubt. Reggie Clemons has not received due process and justice yet he sits on Missouri’s death row awaiting execution. Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.”
How can we execute a man, that you know with your legal background is innocent. If Reggie is executed our Country will continue to pay the price for our continued disrespect of human life and values. Governor please put race and politics aside and free Mr. Clemons and have the evidence reviewed again so that true justice can be served. Let’s prove that we as a country can come together no matter what race the defendant is to make things right. I look forward to hearing that this case has been overturned.
I am amazed that in this so -called “civilised” society, a man can be executed under such flimsy evidence. Whatever happened to “beyond all reasonable doubt”? Come on, Governor Blunt, please prove to the world that is watching you that you are not representing a racist, bigoted state, but a true protector of people and an upholder of justice.

The death penalty for murder and other “capital” crimes is supposed to provide justice on the “eye for an eye” model–a model that is related more to the emergence of commerce in civilized societies than with any well devised system of morality or legality. Premeditated murder by the state has never, that’s NEVER, worked as either a deterrent or a means of closure for the vengeful survivors of the capital offense. The legendary Nazarene attempted to establish this fact when he thwarted the application of the capital solution upon the hapless adulteress in the Biblical account. He knew it then. It’s time we accepted it now. Execution does not work. Stop executing now.
Please stop all executions!

I know what it’s like to lose a loved one to murder. My 18 yr old sister was murdered by a serial killer (I wrote a book about it). I learned that the death penalty does nothing but damage to the morals we pass on to our children. Reggie’s case is like many that look for a “solution” to the immediate problems of pressure from law enforcement and society to find a quick fix. When are we going to stop acting like angry children on a playground and grow into mature and intelligent adults. We can we abolish the death penalty and join the majority of mankind who has come to its senses?

It is a sad day when a man has fear of his death. I do not feel that it is right for the State to execute a man. Everyone will stand before God for the sins they did or did not commit and God is the only Judge. Reggie, I hope and pray that God will deliver you from this injustice.

I attended a ceremony back in 2006 on Reggie Clemon’s behalf. From the information that was discussed there,this man is innocent and that is a God-given fact. Mr. Nixon if you would have it in your heart; due to the power that you were granted by the Lord to make sure this man stays alive please do so. Not only would you change Reggie and his families lives, but every single person who is fighting for Reggie also. It is time that the truth is revealed and hearts are healed.
The death penalty does nothing to stop crime… but we can stop state murder.

INjustice for one is injustice for all. Please, please right this wrong and get America on the path of honest and real justice. All too often, our system has failed when it comes to its non-caucasian citizens. We don’t make the world safer by putting innocent people in jail or killing them. If things are left as they now stand, in a few years an obvious killer will be back on the streets.

This man should not be killed due to evidence that has yet to be proven true. All persons should be able to have a chance to start over. The governor of California made the mistake of not allowing “Tookie” Williams to be free even after all of the efforts he put towards improving the community. We need to break the cycle of wrongful deaths of innocent black men in America. The Bible says ” let he without sin cast the first stone”. There is no person who can say that they are perfect or have not commited a sin. In conclusion I type all this to say that Reggie Clemons should be freed and given the second chance that he deserves.

How in good consciousness can you execute Reggie Clemons in light of the facts? Legally, his execution should be stayed based on the precedent that racial discrimination has led to too many black men being wrongfully executed. Take a good look at the facts and for once let your decision be a moral one as well as an legal one.
The loss of one life does not justify taking another.
Many people are locked up for things they didnt do.Some did and some didn’t.Though i truly believe that Reggie Clemons is innocent and that he shouldnt be another one of the people locked uop for a crime they didnt commit.Not only will this man be locked up but executed,that is not right.This is America where i thought justice was what you got.He’s innocent let him so.!

Plusieurs facteurs montrent les injustices de l’affaire : enquête policière incomplète, confessions forcées par la police, avocats inefficaces, manque de preuve, etc.… Permettez à M. Clemons de présenter les preuves de son innocence afin de sauver sa vie. La peine de mort va à l’encontre des droits des hommes et détruit une autre famille celle du condamné. Je vous demande respectueusement de porter une attention particulière à cette affaire pour sauver M. Reginald Clemons. En vous remerciant.
Mr. Clemmons deserves to live, please allow him that opportunity. May God guide and lead this process.

Ihave known reggie all my life and I know for a fact that he would never have done anything like that to anyone, God is the only one that can pass judgement on any man we as people do not have the right to determine who lives or die. God can do anything but fail I know what God can do and he is going to deliver him out of the snares of the enemy. Greater is he that’s in me than he that is in the world. People and the world can fail you,but God is ever faithful and will never fail you.

Dear governor Nixon,
I am writting to plead not only for the life of Reggie Clemons but for this young man’s right to a fair trial which, by my understanding never happened. Prossecutor Nells Moss has a long well known history of prossecutorial misconduct and the facts in this case poiunt to the cousin of the Kerry sisters as the likely perpetrator. Execution is in my opinion, another form of murder wether guilty or innocent and in this case an innocent man’s life is in your hands. God knows your true motivations, just remember, I my family and friends are lifelong democrats who vote religously in your state. We are watching you and will asses you according to your deeds or misdeeds.
Sincerely yours,

Governor Nixon,
Grant clemency for Reggie Clemmons.
Governor Nixon, we the undersigned believe that the facts surrounding the murders of Julie and Robin Kerry on the Chain of Rocks Bridge in 1991 have yet to be fully uncovered. Beatings, forced confessions by the police, prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective counsel and other factors make this a classic case of reasonable doubt. Reggie Clemons has not received due process and justice yet he sits on Missouri’s death row awaiting execution. Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.

Too many questions remain about Mr. Clemons’ case. It must be thoroughly reviewed. We need to execute justice, not people.
Governor
After reading all of the case information I personally do not believe that this young man should be sentenced to death nor do I believe that he should be incarcerated. Please grant Reggie Clemmons clemency.
Give Reggie Clemons a fair trial. No one wants to feel or ever know that this could happen to ourselves. How would you handle your situation? God be with these decision makers!
Govenor Nixon, please stay Reginal Clemons’s execution, with all the surronding doubts on this case there is no way execution is justifiable. The United States is suppose to be embedded with justice for all its citizens. This case has been implicated with errors, bias and doubts. So please, please don’t continue this execution on Clemons. Let the justice system really do the job and review his case carefully.
Dear Governor Nixon,
This case has not been settled; Reggie is not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt There are too many questions yet to be answered. Julie and Robin Kerry deserve better than this!
Dear Governor Nixon,
There are too many questions unsettled in this case to take the irreversible step of the death penalty. Please reserve the death penalty for cases of absolute certainty. Our legal system must not belittle the death penalty by using it on questionable cases. Doing so reduces its severity in cases that deserve such a sentence.
Andrea Panchok-Berry
Philadelphia, PA
For the State to proceed with Mr. Clemon’s execution while he is not yet proved to be guilty beyond a shadow of doubt is unconscionable. This case manifests the system at its worst: insidiously bureaucratic, inhumane and oblivous to the ramifications of repeated blunders and frequent miscarriages of justice. The cost to the State’s profile among civilized communities would attend the inescapable stench of its own citizens’ and judiciary’s decaying morality.

From the information that I have read about this case, it seems there is no reasonable proof that Reginald Clemmons is guilty of the crime for which he is accused. Please use your power to see that this case is reopened and investigated thoroughly, so that justice may prevail.
This case leaves doubt in the minds of many people. The death penalty is a horrendous way to get justice. I believe this man is innocent.
it is a terrible thing when anyone has their life cut short but to execute an innocent person is beyond terrible. where there is doubt there should not be an execution. at the very least this is something to strongly consider. my energy goes out to Reggie
In this case I think that the police were in the wrong on what they did. The judgement on this young man does not fit his crime. The police or whomever was over the case failed to look at the evidence thoroughly. Clemons should not be sentenced to death, a fair and honest trial is what he deserves.
Justice is a word that all americans and each person should have a right too. Unjust are the
acts of the law towards a person that takes away justice. Free Reggie Clemons so that Justice
can be done
kevin chism, mission hills CA.
dear governor Nixon,
i ask that you give this man a full investigation based on what i have read about the case. i believe that he is innocent but this can not fully be proven with out a full investigation. if he gets a full investigation i believe that he could possibly be proven innocent. taking a mans life with the little part of your mind knowing that he could have possibly been guilty is something no man can live with. please consider the things i have wrote in this letter.
He deserves to have another trial.
this is injustice in America…..

Belleville, Il.
Having only just learned about this case and having done my due diligence research, this case seems more a plot for a horrific movie than a proper execution of justice. This man, who’s childhood has been wrongly stolen from him, at the VERY LEAST, deserves more time to allow the justice system to fix the error. His blood is in your hands now. This poor kids crime is that he is black and a victim of the poor judgement of the justice dept. from top to bottom. Right this wrong now, before it’s too late.
I am a Missouri citizen. I voted for you, Governor Nixon. Please don’t make me regret my vote. Grant clemency for Reggie Clemons.

Is this the Dark Ages?
So, humanity has made no progress at all. (?)
We still live in a system of utter barbarism.
Senseless insanity.
And at one and the same time, the folk running it tout themselves as ‘Christian’.
Why don’t we simply find some ‘heretics’ to torture and burn, just for pure pleasure…to relieve the bordom.
Why don’t we just install some Great White Sharks to run our political and judicial systems.
It would make it far less animalistic.
THEN maybe, we can say we have made some progress as a species.
May everyone involved in this atrocity conjured amongst slime bed dwellers -
GET theirs.
” As is sown…..”
Governor Nixon
It is within your power to stop this senseless practice of retribution. In this case, we are not even sure if the facts are correct. It has been said that “better 100 guilty men should go free than 1 innocent man be imprisoned”. Surely we should extend this logic to the death penalty where once executed and exonerated person cannot be brought back to life.

Dear Governor Blunt,
Too many questions remain about Mr. Clemons’ case to even consider the death penalty. All evidence must be thoroughly reviewed and punishment carried out only when it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, which is clearly not the case here. A state sanctioned execution is murder no matter how calmly and humanely it is exacted. Please stay this execution before the tragedy of taking an innocent life is played out in our state.

Please free this man, it is not your place to take his life.
Please consider the following:
“Many of Reggie’s claims have never been heard in a court of law because of procedural rules that have barred the presentation of important evidence. After reviewing the evidence, two federal judges voted to overturn his death sentence and found that Reggie was denied a fair trial. But Reggie’s sentence of death remains.”
Give Reggie the benefit of the doubt. Don’t put a man to death when there is so much controversy over his guilt or innocence.

I seen this case when it first happen and I knew the white person did it. There was no fair trail for Reggie and the other innocent young man that has been put death already regarding this case. I feel sorry for the family that lost their love ones, but I Reggie is innocent.
Please have mercy on Reginald Clemons.

If there is any doubt that Reggie did not commit this crime or at the very least, his role in it does not warrant the death penalty, his case needs to be reconsidered. Please give the justice system time to hear all the neccessary evidence. The cycle of sending young men to prison or their death needs to end.
Dear Governor Nixon,
As a man of God I pray that you will allow to Mr. Reggie Clemons what God allows us daily, Grace and Mercy. Shall our state participate in the death of a man whose case has not been judiciously evaluated? It is with sincere gratitude that I ask of you to stay this unjust execution.
Thank you,

If their was NO DNA, why is this young BLACK man been sentnced to death? The problems we have in St.Louis is unrealistic and should be dealt with an a realistic matter. If the man by the name of Cummins said he did it or how it happend quite frankly that should be his home going day.

I was actually incarcerated with 2 of the guys that’s on the same case with him. We were all juveniles then. I don’t believe death is an answer to murder guilty or not, that means whom ever behind the death penalty is just as guilty as the accused party.

Governor Nixon, I gladly voted you into office just to be a part of the same machine that could drive our previous governor out. However, the reason I voted for you was because I felt you were the better between you and our past governor. Please don’t give MO a blackeye around the country by executing what appears to be an innocent young man who has already spent close to a lifetime behind bars. It’s past time to allow compassion to reign in and give this young man the same opportunity that you would allow someone else, to have a fair hearing/trial so that justice can be established and everyone will know the truth. Thank You for hearing our pleas! Hazelwood, MO May 29th, 2009.

This is a new chapter in our lives and what better way to start a new by accepting that position and rule out the execution punishment for innocent people as well as the guilty. The last govenor had that mentality and it is time for change with a different structure.

It is difficult to believe that a case with such inequities would still exist today. There are more questions than answers to who committed this crime. “Oops we made a mistake”, will not surfice when all the questions are answered and
Reggie Clemmons is found to be innocent. He deserves a new trial, but for the time being, spare his life until all the facts are in.
Reggie has not received justice. Please halt the execution and allow him a fair investigation.
Dear Governor,
I am the daughter of a retired Chief of Police and as such have always tried very hard to have faith in the justice system despite the history of this country and quite notably St. Louis, Missouri. It could not be more clear that the system is still painfully flawed, and that we have a long way to go as a human race. I was always taught to be brutally honest, and the brutally honest truth is that this is not justice. We know black people have a reputation of violence, howbeit unfairly broadly applied; but we also know that white people do very wild and risky things that others consider deadly and often cause harm to themselves and others….also. And it gets hidden from the shame. Don’t go to your grave knowing you turned a blind eye to the TRUTH! You put yourself and the community you serve in a prison much worse than the one in which you put others. With respect.
Do not execute.
There have been a number of injustices that have occurred through this case. This is a plea asking for a stay of execution, and request that you thoroughly review the facts in this case, before the furthering of a terrible injustice is done. I pray that you will pray and ask for guidance in this matter.
To kill is to be a killer. It a crime against life. And is dependent of justice. Don’t kill Reginald.
Moreover, to risk to kill an innocent is a crime against justice and life, and so dependent twice of justice. Don’t kill Reginald.To save your life.
Stop the killing road.

This is to the family look up to the hills,because your help come from the lord.To Gov.

Governor Nixon, I believe that the facts surrounding the murders of Julie and Robin Kerry on the Chain of Rocks Bridge in 1991 have yet to be fully uncovered. Police brutality to force a confession, prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective counsel and other factors made this a classic case of reasonable doubt. Reggie Clemons has not received due process yet he sits on Missouri’s death row. As governor, you have the authority to slow the process down so that the facts can be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in this case. I cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.

The Hyprocrisy of saying out of your mouths what is not in your hearts. That statement also applies to the So-call justice system that the poor and the Black people of America are under.
There were facts omitted from the trial by the prosecutor that would have made a difference,if presented.

I had an opportunity to read up on this case, and the evidence does not prove Reginald’s guilt. When you are growing up as a child you are taught that Justice is blind,fare and will give everyone the legal right to a fare trial. I guess the only fare Justice is those who have the power and money. I just pray that God show us all who really has the power.

Please let there be justice for Reggie Clemons. He was wrongfully accused and shouldn’t have his live taken away.
There is no way the execution of Reggie Clemons should take place with all the doubts and lack of evidence. The railroading of this young man is an injustice thats must be rectified, before it’s to late. If this case isn’t reopened and tried fairly, we will remember this gross injustice come election day. We are feed up with the unjust treatment in the so called justice system. Anyone envolved in causing this young man to get an unfair trial should be prosecuted themselves.
Through life we as AFRICAN AMERICAN people and our children, have for got DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., he died that things like this would not happen. Racism the wprk of SATAN(adversary), DEVIL(slander) DEMONS(his angel). WEas a people must bring DR. KING dream from the dead back to life.This should not have happen to MR. CLEMONS: The son of GOD was manifested that HE might destroy RACISM, the work of Satan and his demons. I am will to help the best way I can.
Capital punishment is a violation of human rights.

Justice for Reggie now!
Do not kill in my name. Free Reggie

Please give this man a fair trail innocent until proven quilty.
I have only read a small portion of the case files for this capital murder case. Although I am a death penalty support, I am not in support of this death penalty case. Mr Clemons unfairly recieved poor counsel and I truly believe that he and the other young black men were beaten and coerced to sign these confession statements used against them by the police. Ex Gov Matt Blunt is and always will be a conservation governor whom do not care for the plight of young men black or white, however I truly believe that our current Governor Jay Nixon does need to step in and intercede in the excution of this young man. Upon reading this information about the trial there were a great deal of inconsistencies in Mr Cummins story and I personal feel that he had extensive involvement in the death of this two victims. I pray for Mr. Reggie Clemons daily becasue at the time of his conviction the State of Missouri was truly a republican right winged state. I only pray that now that there has been a change in the guard that someone will take the time to listen to this young man’s story and give him the opportunity to his 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendment rights!!!!!!!!

This execution is unjust!!
Governor Nixon,
Please do the honorable thing in the name of God and justice, and take the time to give Reggie Clemons’ case a fair and thorough review. Our criminal justice system is a great one, but the fact is that more often than we would like to admit, it does allow innocent people to be wrongfully convicted. To put a man to death when there are obviously serious questions about the fairness of his trial would be barbaric in this day and age. Please grant him a stay of execution to allow time to re-evaluate or retry his case.
St. Louis, MO
There are too many unanswered questions to execute Reggie Clemons. I have two daughters and I would not want the wrong persons executed for crime they did not commit. Reggie deserves another trial with lawyers who care about him to present all the truth for a jury to hear and decide from. This has not happened for Reggie. How can you execute a person without evidence being presented?
lets promote justice, not death
sad to say that this is the “ole willie lynch” mentality alive and well in this day and time. i strongly ask that this young man receive a new trial and that his rights under the constitution be enforce, clearly they were not. my community, group leaders and friend oppose the execution and are presently writing letters and advocating for a wrong to be made right. i am a registered voter and advocate for civil rights in the city of st. louis, mo
Iam a long time friend and neighbor of the clemons we all grew up together and i would like to try to save reggie life and free him from the wall of execution. its truely hard to believe that the justice system is trying to take a man life and the state can commit murder and receive no consequences. this young man is beening wrongly punished for something that he did not commit. one of the guys that was involved pleads insanity the other is executied. htis has to tell you something and thast something is that the justice system is just trying to clean up there books for a crime that was committed and not by reggie. was just a man who alway stayeds home with his family i just like some justice for reginald clemons please.
I stongly oppose this execution! Clearly for unknown reasons the evidence collected in this case is not being used. Seems that some on the legal side of this case may have unknown reasons for sticking with this execution and much of it is embarrassment and not wanting to admit that they have wrongly executed one man and about to execute another in this case.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, Quote by Dr. Martin L. King Jr.
Please consider the Due Process this young man has received and was it truely just. By the power invested in you I hope you will do what you can to Stop the scheduled execution of Reginald Clemons.
It’s hard enough to go along with the death penalty even when all the facts and evidence are there to clearly indicate guilt — but when it is clear that the “facts” and “evidence” leave PLENTY of reasonable doubt that Mr. Clemons committed this crime, it is unconscionable and appalling that he is scheduled to be executed. He deserves due process and a fair trial and I pray that you, Gov. Nixon, will have the integrity and humanity (unlike your predecessor in the case of Marlin Gray) to intercede and halt this execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly revealed and true justice to be served. My prayer is that this situation be resolved in a perfect way according to God’s will.
St. Louis, MO
mr. blunt I only ask that you give this man a fair trial. So many injustices were done in his previous trial, it makes no sense at all. The two white people were basically exonerated yet the others who are black are either on death row or has been lethally injected. Please I beg of you look into this case with your eyes wide open not wide shut as before. I think just because they were black and the girls were white, they got the short end of the stick, the police needed an open and shut case. the cousin had a thing for the girl, and what better way after rejection but to blame it on the black guys. he said he was ordered to jump, yet he was dry, no residue from the water in his hair, the water was freezing cold, yet he suffered no hypothermia, he failed a polygraph, both men were beaten into confession, yet the cousin was awarded 150,000 but the black guy wasnt. None of the guys were given a fair trial at all. Please stop the execution of Reginal Clemmons.

Mr. Clemons deserves a fair trial. We are innocent unitl PROVEN guilty. Where there is DOUBT there should be NO DEATH PENALTY.
Sometimes we have to stand up for others because we never know when we’ll need someone to stand up for us.
Please commute the death sentence of Reggie Clemons to life in prison. Antonio Richardson who was convicted of the same crime as Clemons has already had his death sentence overturned and is now serving life in prison. It is unjust that two men covicted of the same crime by the same court receive two different sentences, one more severe than the other. Do the right thing; commute the sentence.
Due the inproper evidence in this case we as American’s and children of God should terminated and thron out this conviction altogether. There were no hair, finger prints nor and any DNA… This is one case that should not have even gone this many years!Know this is a innocent man at steak! Please DONT EXCUTE THIS INNOCENT MAN REGINALD CLEMON, LET HIM LIVE!!

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”-Martin Luther King Jr.
St.Louis, MO
There can be no justice with out truth. In many criminal cases, especially murder where the primary witnesses are deceased, it is difficult to know the truth. In those cases, we must be able to depend upon the integrity and truth in the process. This process has been devoid of the requistite integrity and truth to lead to a just decision; and if justice is what we seek then we must stay this execution to avoid the certain injustice of discrediting the system and the possible injustice of more innocent death. We run in pursuit of revenge; but we walk in the pursuit of justice.
St. Louis, MO
I strongly believe that Reggie Clemons did not receive due process under the law and that the justice system, which should be blind, was not in this case. It would be an absolute travesty to execute this man without being 100% certain of his guilt. Gov. Nixon, please stay his execution and review the facts of the case again.

Rememeber one day you too shall be judged.
There are too many questions that have been raised regarding the young men alleged involvment in the murders of Julie and Robin Kerry for you to ignore our request’s to hault this execution.
Non of us know the real story, but it cannot hurt to have the case re-examined to make sure that there was no room for error during the trials.
If he is innocent then we owe him that much and if he is found guilty again then the judicial system will have been prudent in uncovering the truth.
To All concerned,please allow justice to be done by not taking the life of an innocent man. Reggie Clemons deserves a chance to live and have the WHOLE story told. I have always believed in his innocence and I know without a shadow of doubt that this was a love story that went bad somewhere. ask the cousin that was there!Don’t allow a miscarriage of justice to have you tormented the rest of your life.

Mr Govenor,
I respectfully ask that you stop the execution of Reggie Clemmons. Due to the lack of evidence, he should not be but to death. I strongly am opposed to this man’s punishment.
Mr Govenor,
I respectfully ask that you stop the execution of Mr. Reggie Clemons. Due to the lack of physical evidence, I feel this to be an unwarrented and wrongful sentence.
St. Louis, MO
Please allow Reggie to have the freedom that should have been granted to him years ago. By looking at this case and going over the evidence. Please halt the execution.
St. Louis, MO.
Dear Governor Nixon, we would request that you would offer this young man a second chance or some level of justice in the form of clemency/pardon.
Begin here. Put an end to government murder. We are better than that. As a citizen I feel that this horror is being executed on my behalf, in my name. Please abolish the death penalty and begin right here with this case.
Chicago, IL.
Give this man justice. Stop the killing.
Dear Governor Nixon And Missouri Board of Probation and Parole. I am writing with great concern about the executed of Reggie Clemons. Asking you to please look into this injustice with compassion. If you know about his case I pray you can see that the trial was unfair.
Resonable doubt is plausible in Mr. Clemons case. No one should face a punishment of death nor be convicted based on the inconsistent and coerced evidence presented. At a minimal Reginald Clemons life should be spared. A communtation to life will to at least give the opportunity have the evidence fairly evaluated. His freedom can be given back to him if exonorated. However, the death of a innocent man cannot be reversed.
Saint Louis, MO
FREE Reggie Clemons
It is hard to believe that in 2009 we are still denying people the right to a fair trial. Please remember that social class should not be a barrier to justice. Please do not execute Reggie because he could not afford a good lawyer.
Set him free!!!
Columbia, IL
Governor Nixon, we the undersigned believe that the facts surrounding the murders of Julie and Robin Kerry on the Chain of Rocks Bridge in 1991 have yet to be fully uncovered. Beatings, forced confessions by the police, prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective counsel and other factors make this a classic case of reasonable doubt.
Reggie Clemons has not received due process and justice yet he sits on Missouri’s death row awaiting execution. Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case.
We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed. Please do not fall into the trap of doing the “popular” thing of pretending this does not matter. It does matter. It matters
in your accountability of how you dealt with the
responsibility that God gave you.
thank you

I am trusting in God, and I am praying for Governor Jay nixon to correct this horrible injustice. Jay nixon asked for our votes and pledged to do the right thing. He must be held accountable and he must listen to the people, he needs to carefully review this case and FREE an INNOCENT MAN. Reggie is an innocent man, and he has already lost alot of years of his life, it is up to everyone to stand behind him and demand justice for this man. He is not the kind of man that would do the things he has been charged with. And there is no evidence to support the idea that they have the right person. HE IS INNOCENT!!!! Dont take another innocent life.
The St. Louis American’s editorial page last week featured a compelling case for clemency. I oppose the death penalty, and I believe that Governor Nixon must use his authority to halt this execution.
In this country we seem to be forgetting one very important rule: beyond a shadow of a doubt. We cannot let the justice system lose its honor and credibility by making the mistake of killing an innocent man. There is clearly reasonable doubt in this case. If this man is murdered, this nation fails. Please stop this execution.
He’s innocent
Free Reggie Clemons! Review the FACTS!!
Do NOT allow another injustice to be committed!!!
FREE REGGIE CLEMONS!!!!!
i am praying with everyone not to let this happen

A teen with no criminal history and no physical evidence linking him to the deaths? I do not believe in capital punishment, but is this a case and a person that those who do believe in capital punishment can ratioanalize putting to death?
I personally know Mr. Clemons and one of his siblings and we have discussed the injustice that
is being displayed toward him.If you believe in God then tell me and everyone else that’s familiar
with this situation why are you taking this young
African Americans life when you know that he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and is
being used to satisfy another example of Racism in

His execution will be a miscarriage of justice. Halt is execution and review the facts on this case.
Missouri received a D+ for its education system. It needs an F for its INJUSTICE system. This case is filled with so many holes. It is as if we have forgotten how to think critically about situations. Perhaps this is because we never really learned. Thinking critically are not inherrent standards in our education systems. We need to add critical thinking to all our curriculums-including law school. It seems we are turning out prosecutors who cannot think well. All of this reminds me of what is going on in the remembering of Tienneman Square in China. Information is getting squashed over there. Oh yeah, but they are not a democracy. And we are????
I pray for Reggie, his family and the family of the victims.
Governor Nixon,
Please do the right thing and view the facts and free Reggie.

My prayers goes out to Reggie and family and the Kerry family as well. It’s sad we are in 2009 and our young black men and women has about as much chance surviving in America as much as a deer in Rural communities. What is the difference? Both are being mistreated in an inhuman way.
This is not Justice!!!
I plead that you grant clemency to Reggie Clemons and allow the facts to be reviewed.
Atlanta, GA
Some weeks ago, I was driving down a street by my home and the phrase “racial profiling” dropped in my spirit, I asked God what the reason was or why-all of a sudden this story surfaced and something starts to stir, I’m no Attorney, just a concerned citizen, a Mother, and a child of God (one of which I take pride in being) as a lot of us, many say we are, but can’t even say, “hello” to our neighbor! I don’t know all the details of this situation, and I am not a judge of a persons’ life, or their destiny, but I know who is, I pray that you will grant favor to Reggie Clemmons and that a trial be given to him. I believe that in listening to his interview there are missing pieces to the “puzzle” that may have been overlooked…it’s not my specialty, I’m just from the outside looking in, but like Esther went before the King for favor for her people, so am I coming before you to obtain favor on behalf of this child.
This case should be re investigated now.
This man should have never been imprisoned all these years. The governor should have stepped to the plate long ago.
This really saddens my soul.
I believe in being fair all around the board.
I see no fairness on Reggie’s behalf.
It is a known fact that men and women have been wrongly accused and this case seems to be just that. God have mercy on all involved.
“free Reggie”
Dear Sir
After reading about this case it would appear that one innocent person has already been executed for this tragedy, and now there is to be another innocent person executed for said same tragedy, please look into this case again, if after finding without a doubt that Reginald Clemons is guilty, then go ahead and do what has to be done, but, if he is not guilty you have to set him free. I would not be able to sleep at night if I thought I was in some way responsible for the death of another human being whether by my hand or not.
My heart and Prayers go out to all the families involved.
Please let the kerry family get the true answer they deserve.
YOu all have my support and prayers. This is sad. So many men are in jail for crimes that didn’t commit. Enough is Enough!!! Someone needs to contact the Today Show and get this story heard across America!
Paula Crawford, St. Louis, MO
Governor Nixon, with all the conflicting information and unethical and unprofessional actions by the prosecutor and the fact that there is no concrete evidence implicating Reggie Clemons in this heinous act, please use your authority to stop this execution.

Please grant Reggie Clemons clemency.
Please , I do not beleive in the death penalty. I pray to God that you give Reggie Clemons (clemency)
Please do not excute an innocent man.

Govenor Nixon,
I ask that you give Mr. Clemons a second chance. Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.
Please halt this execution until there is at least another, thorough investigation in this case. I was in high school when this happened and felt the young men were wrongfully convicted then and still feel vehemently now the same way. The facts in this case simply do not fit. If you’re going to execute someone please, base it on concrete facts and not coerced confessions.

I would hate to be part of the people of this state to later find out that this man is innocent of the charges. Or that he did not get a fair trial. Let’s not end up with another case of Dred Scott one hundred years from now. God Bless all families and this state.
Please review this case to make an informed decision.
I will pray for you Mr. Clemons and every other innocent person on death roll. Pray and believe in God and he shall answer.
This is an outrage. Please please please do not do this!
If this case is about JUSTICE, then nothing can be more Just than to concede the doubt, and give this man a chance to prove his innocence. INNOCENCE MATTERS!
In the name of Jesus please do not execute this young man. I don’t know him but he is heavy upon my heart. Please have mercy
I pray that God spare Reggie’s life!!! Also, free those who are wrongfully imprisoned.
Dear Governor Blunt,
I am writing to plead with you to halt the execution of Reggie Clemmons. Based on the information I have on his case I believe him to be innocent and am asking for time for his case to be thoroughly investigated.
I have personally seen and know of people who were sentenced for murder and then exonorated. A friend of mine’s brother was accused and sentenced to life in prison for a murder which he did not commit. He was later found to be innocent and released from prison. While we are grateful that he was exonerated the worst case scenario would have been spending his life in prison.
In the case of a death sentence being imposed there is no way to go back, no way to reverse, no way to restore the man’s life.
I am sure that in the interest of justice no one would take a chance like that.
Govenor Blunt, you have the power to stop his execution and allow for the facts of his case to be fully exposed. I am begging you to give him this chance and allow him to live. I am sure you will not regret this decision to choose life.
Thank you for your consideration of this most serious matter.

Probably guilty of being with the wrong people at the wrong time and definitely in the wrong place. Happens to teens as well as adults.
But I believe him innocent of murder.

Stop killin’ People!!
I am a Television talk show host, and Radio host. I support Reggie Clemons, and believe that it is imperative that Reggie Clemons receive a stay of excecution. He was forced into a conviction of rape, not of murder. But he was sentenced for murder, and not rape. Clearly this is an injustice! There has been far too many wrongful convictions, and this clearly is another one! This man has a voice that needs to be heard, and his innocents deserve our support-Free Reggie Clemons!!!

The State of Missouri will be commenting murder if they execute Reggie Clemons. I went to school with the victims (I pray for their families as well)but,Reggie was forced to sign a written confession, afte the police beat the crap out of him.
Gov.Jay Nixon can turn this around I voted for Nixon and I was told he would reinvistigate the Clemons case.
The prosecutor(Moss)is a racist. The White boy who was convicted with Reggie clemons, was granted parole, now how does that happen? The death penalty is not administer fairly and that’s why we should get rid of this goverment sanction murder. review the facts, the evidence talk to the cousin of the Kerry sisters again (he failed the polygraph, and he had a crush on his cousins) He said he was forced to jump off the bridge but, his hair showed no signs of river residue. WE CAN NOT LET REGGIE DIE. GOV. NIXON IF YOU HAVE A HEART AND YOUR NOT THE DEVIL LIKE BLUNT WAS (STILL IS) GRANT REGGIE CLEMONS A STAY OF EXECUTION.
PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

I hurt for all the families involved in this terrible situation. Even so, it is important to ensure we are doing the right thing. There are so many unfair and questionable issues in the case against Mr. Clemons. It has never been proved that he was guilty. I believe the right thing to do is to spare his life. Allow him to be retried with competent legal support. Yes, whoever killed those young ladies should pay but we want to make sure we have the right person. Based on the facts, Reggie Clemons is not the right person. Please save him from the death penalty. Thank you.
I believe he is innocent. There is not way anyone could hear or read about this and feel that he should be executed. There are plenty of reasonable doubts. I am praying with you all that God will move and give Reggie his freedom.

Have You really looked at the evidence in this case and not just the trial transcripts? Because if you are in a position to stop an injustice and do not, for whatever reason, then that life belongs to you and not the state.
Do not kill Reggie for me!!! Besides the reality that it is doubtful he committed murder, he is a human being. If he did it and was wrong then so are we wrong to murder him. Stop the insanity. Please!!!! Only love can save the world. Violence breeds violence!

The time is drawing near. It appears that Reggie was not represented well, nor does the evidence suggest that he committed this crime. Please review the evidence. There is reasonable doubt here. Why not allow this young man to get another trial. Imagine if this was your child. What would you want. If nothing else, please suspend the execution and review the case.

Please have a heart and a listening ear to the outcry of the people.
ONLY GOD CAN AUTHORIZE LIFE AND DEATH. THIS IS REASONABLE DOUGHT. I’VE HEARD THE MAJORITY OF THE CASE AND IT HAS MORE FISH TALE THAN THE SEA. WHAT ABOUT GRACE, MERCY, AND TRUTH. REGGIE CLEMONS HAS A HEART, AND HE IS NOT A SAVAGE ANIMAL AS DESCRIPTED. HE HAD POOR REPRESENTATION AND KNOW VOICE TO TRULY SPEAK HE DESERVES A RETRIAL. ANTHONY L.
Dear Mr. Blunt,
In order for us to move forward as a people and a country, we need to have laws and law enforcement officials that are working FOR the American citizen and not against them. We have come to a new road in US political history, and with our new administration, we can change anything, but lethal injection isn’t the way to do it. No one except the people who were on that bridge really know what happened. Something about this case never “smelled” right from the beginning and the families of those 2 young ladies need to know the truth about what really happened that evening. It’s not fair to these families not actually knowing what happened. How do you think they would feel finding out later after Mr. Clemons death, that he wasn’t guilty and he was telling the truth. Lethal injection just isn’t the answer in this case. To put a man to death and then find out after he has been lethally injected would be a cruel unjustice. The officials wanted to wrap this case up quick, and the handling of this case proves this without a doubt.
As I listened to Reggie speak yesterday on Majic 104.9 with Tony Scott & Tammie Holland, I was in tears. I have been following this story since it happened and I always believed in Reggie’s innocence. There has always appeared to me to be too many holes in the case and Tom Cummins confession early on was a dead ringer!!!!
Please allow for Mr. Clemons to receive a fair trial. He derserves it, his family and friends deserve it and we the people ddeserve to know what really happened on the night of April 4, 1991.
Please review this case again. Police brutality, forced confessions, poor representation and and a shameful prosecutor.
Reggie deserves a fair trial, something he did not get in the beginning. Our justice system owes him this much. Rashida Willis, St. Louis, MO

Simply stated everyone should stay involved and informed in this case. It is unfortunate that one of our young men has to endure such unjust treatment.

Why not allow this young man to get another trial. Imagine if this was your child. What would you want. If nothing else, please suspend the execution and review the case.
Dear Gov. Nixon,
I am pleading with you to allow more time for the judicial system to thoroughly examine all evidence in this case. At this point, there are too many discrepancies that EXIST to EXECUTE Reggie Clemons!!! Please issue stay of execution, it seems to me that INJUSTICE has occurred against Reggie. I am praying for all parties involved, this is a sad case!! It hurts my heart to believe that race is still a major factor in 2009 in regarding fair, and equal representation in the judicial system.
Free Reggie…. there shouldn’t be a execution because being in jail is execution enough, so scheduling to kill someone for something that wasn’t looked into more as far as evidence is not right. Nobody deserves to die in the hands of another “man”…. Let the lord handle this situation…

Governor Blunt:
Too often have innocent men been placed on ‘death row’, or, even worse, killed, subsequent to trial proceedings that fell way below the standard for Justice to which the constitution, that you have pledged to uphold, promotes. In view of all the discrepencies in the prosecutions case against Reggie Clemons, stay his execution, review his case and do everything within the power of your office to see to it that Justice is done on his behalf. Thank You

Dear Governor Nixon, On behalf of Reggie Clemons.I asks that the reports and statements on this case,be reinvestigated.And to have clemency on this mans life.I also thank the Jurisdiction System on granting the Stay.
Thank You,

I implore you, Governor Nixon,
review R. Clemons’ case and record
of incarceration in order to provide
justice and healing for all involved.
Clemoncy, I beg of you.
Governor Blunt,
I come begging in the name of Jesus that you give Reginald Clemmons his life that he had no chance to live because as a young man fresh out of high school didn’t have the good judgement of the environment or circumstance he put himself in. What we have here is not just a man that is guilty of a crime he didn’t commit but a man that was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. When the crime took place in 1991 I had a child a son just a year old now he’s 18 and a graduate of Ft. Zumwald South. I am very proud of my son and couldn’t fathom something this horific to happen to him and our life and our family. Please all we ask is that you give him a chance. Just put yourself in their shoes….what if this were your son and you knew deep in your heart he was innocent but because of actions of other people, corrupt people he was being put to rest. Who in their right mind has the justification to do something like that to a human being. I ASK YOU WHO? We know our children and we have that sixth scent when it comes to our children we would have that intuition that tells us if they’re being honest as well as if they were telling a lie. Give Reginald a chance…..give his family a chance…most of all GIVE YOURSELF AND I a chance for the further or our children and grandchildren to come. Let’s make this a better place, it’s time for a change, it’s time for a CHANCE! May God Bless you and yours and MAY God keep us all. Jeanne

I hope that justice will be served and that another innocent life won’t be lost when it could have been prevented.

Please do not execute Reggie, via lethal injection or any other means. (1) execution is off the table in all 1st world countries except the U.S. and Israel (2) this man may be innocent (3) murder by State is still murder. Worse than legal murder because it sets a public example for children. If the governor can do it to someone the State doesn’t like, why can’t I?
At our Mendocino Film Festival last Saturday, Danny Glover, before accepting an award, told the audience about this case. It is hard to be caught up in the joys of our own lives when an injustice is about to happen.Having gone on the internet to learn more I cannot believe this person is scheduled to be executed. Please demonstrate the moral courage to reconsider.
My name is Teresa and I am writing to ask for clemency for Reggie Clemons.
I may better understand this execution if somebody or anybody had to pay for the crimes of these young ladies lives lost or I’ll completely understand if you wanted to bring her family some kind of closure to this tradgedy on both accounts, if that was the case which it very much seems,as well it seems that it was too much pressure built on this high profile case like this that somebody has to pay, not caring who it affects but as long as some kind of justice is served at the end of the day to keep a little skin on your neck,It’s just ashame seeing that his court case transcript has more holes in than Chief Mokwa “not knowing crap” so if putting a innocent man to death makes you feel dictorial than you sir,with no surprise of mine own will have more of burden on your mind and soul than Reginald Clemmons himself you know why? Lord forbidd his head get cold before the truth is known before us but,I’m pretty sure a man in his situation has already made peace with himself and GOD knowing in his heart if it’s his time to it’s his time without control of you or anybody else just knowing the fact his children might not understand the circumstances surrounding his innocence without contamination from the judisical system itself.
Indeed, two federal judges reviewing the case found that Reggie did not receive a fair trial and
voted to overturn his sentence.
Although Reggie’s case has been through the appeals process, many of his claims have never
been heard because of strict procedural rules that have made it impossible for him to present
important evidence in his defense.
For the last eighteen years, Reggie has sat in prison awaiting justice. He has now run out of
appeals and his life is in your hands. Only you have the power to right this terrible wrong. I
respectfully ask that you give your full attention to this case and that you act to save Reggie’s
life.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
Sincerely,
Teresa Williams

Please re-examine and do not take an innocent life.
Dear Gov. Nixon,
I implore you to take a stand and honestly review the facts of this young man’s case and use the power of your office to recognize the urgency of reviewing this case and issuing a stay of execution to allow this case to go to trial. It’s what a civilized society does when there are so many facts that bear out reasonable doubt. Let your reign as Governor bring honor and dignity back into what has been perceived as a corrupt justice system. You have the “power” Governor Nixon, please use it wisely! Don’t take away Reggie’s day in court…
This really saddens me to see an innocent man being put to death for a crime for which he did not commit! I thought America was the land of the free? No not hardly!

Based on the lack of evidence, unreliability of eyewittnesses, the possibility of police and prosecution misconduct, and the availability of DNA testing this case desperately needs further investigation. As a future professional in criminal justice, I beg of you to at least allow the DNA test to be conducted. Failure to do this much casts a great deal of doubt upon the case and the integrity of the prosecutor and now governor’s offices in the State of Missouri. Please grant the test.
He is definitely in my prayers.
You are definitely in my prayers. God Bless you
Please do not execute this man. His case deserves to be re opened. God Bless him
Please Gov Nixon look more into this case before Reggie Clemons is sentenced to death. He deserves a new trial and a 2nd look into this case
Please… Let there be no more deaths. This man has been served an injustice already for what he’s done wrong. There is no need for him to have to die. Let him live… Let him live… Punishing a death with death is hypocrisy and unethical… Life for Reggie!!!
Investigate, and give him a fair trial

I am appalled by these events. Are we still living in a time where an African Amercan man gets railroaded to uncommitted crimes. This is a disgrace. We are suppose to leave int he land of the free and we are not treated as such. I pray that Mr. Clemons case is overturned and pray he can salvage whats left of his life. I ask that my nmae be signed to the petition.

Action Center For Justice calls for Reggie Clemons to be released from prison immediately.
I do not believe in the death penalty; neither do I believe that Reggie is guilty. I never have believed he was guilty. I remember the case like it was yesterday and felt sick at the stomach as to how it was handled. I won’t say who I believe did it, but I don’t believe, with all my heart, mind, body and soul that Reggie was guilty of murder. I’ve prayed for those young men from day one and asked God to let justice prevail. I know God is real, yet he’s sovereign. According to the first verse of Proverbs 21, God can turn the heart of our leaders if he so desires. The righteous ones are fervently praying; and we expect our prayer to avail much. Freeing Reggie would be the right thing to do. This is America. We’re supposed to be going forward in justice, love and peace. Let’s at least attempt to make the crooked places straight, make the darkness light, and make the wrongs right!!!!!!!
Govner Blunt, I am pleading and asking you to stop the excution of Reggie Clemons. I have followed this case for years now and I am appalled at our justice system. How could we as american citizens allow our people in power to be so dishonest to boost their careers. Moss is a good example of an evil, prejudice, lieing, career hungry human being. I do not want to say this is racist, but we have to call it as it is. You know the case, so I won’t go into it. But, if there is any justice left in Mo. you can be the one to at least help Reggie to get a fair trail and not be executed for something he did not do and you will bring the cousin and Winfrey back to trail for witnesses or the cousin for the murders.
Jay Nixon needs to do the right thing and don’t let an innocent man die. This week on Fox News Rivera stated “law enforcement needs to look beyond the accusations when a white female accuses a black male of a crime”. This is not intended to be a racist statement, it is a fact.
Nixon, do the right thing and pass this case on to the MO Attny General to review. And if you cannot bring yourself to pass it on, this I can only pray that he is man enough to exercise his power and take it. The White House is focused on stopping water boarding which was used on 3 terrorist/criminals and our local government finds it acceptable to brutally beat and kill innocent Americans!
Help America understand what is right and more important!
Diona Rush. Two wrongs don’t make a right. I’m praying for all parties involed. I pray for justice. Please allow clemency for Mr. Reggie Clemons. To many times people are punished for crimes the did not committe. Its time for a change. MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP US ALL
I’m praying for clemency
This day and time should have brought a change to have someone on death roll for something with so many unanswered questions is ashame in the United States were is the justice.Is it again hurry up and solve this crime because it was two white females or what? Here again is another black male being railroaded when he did not even commit the crime it all doesn`t add up.Where is the justice? Please release this man. Would he be there if the two females were Black?
Praying for you Reggie.

Please allow this man another trial with proper representation.
Governor Nixon,
All we are asking is that you review the facts in the case against Mr. Clemons, and I guarantee that you’ll notice some glaring deficiencies in justice that must be corrected. Executing guilty men is a credit to no one, and will only set our nation back in our quest towards an equitable justice system. Please consider pardoning Mr. Clemons, or at least moving his sentence back to allow more case review.
Thanks,

Please free this innocent man.
Governer Blunt,
I am asking for the clemency of Reginald Clemons, after hearing the story on the radio again recently he has not been treated fairly. Please look at the case again thoroughly and set him free. It’s bad enough Mr. Grays life was taken unnecessary please don’t let it happen twice.
Gov. Jay Nixon,
I believe that Reggie Clemons deserves another chance. He was a victim of circumstances. Please Stay his Execution and let him live. This young man is innocent. I would hate for the State of Missouri to execute him and find out later on that he was innocent. How do you tell his love ones that you’re sorry?.Don’t let another innocent man be executed.
Mr. Clemons deserves a fair trial. May God Bless him and his family.
Please re-open the investigation and thoroughly examine the facts surrounding this case.
St. Louis, MO
Let us strive for justice in earnest.
Innocent people should not be wrongfully executed. There is no way to restore a life after an execution. Please review Reggie’s case and allow a new and thorough investigation of the facts.
I have reviewed the timeline and court documents from this case. There’s more than enough information and holes in the story to prove reasonable doubt. I believe the facts of this case should be re examined and a fair trial be held for Reginald Clemons.
Kansas City, MO
This young man has served his time. Do the right thing and free him so he can try to put his life back together.this is a violation of his Constitutional rights to a fair trial. Since this young man has served time for a crime he didn’t commit, I pray that he gets a full pardon and given financial assistant to go to college and cover other living exspenses until he can provide for himself. As a taxpayer, I would like to see my money put to good use. We all answer to God, What will your answer be?

I saw the documentry of Reggie Clemons Saturday June 6,2009 and based on the information presented there appears to be a lot of errors and problems with his case! Reggie’s case should be reviewed again in a serious manner and he should be granted a new trial.
God Bless
God will Free Reginald Clemons
He knows exactly what happened. God will use this case as a testimony for all of those Innocent young men(Black and White) that has been falsely accused to not give up. Reginald is going to walk out of prison and this will give all of the others the hope that they so desperately need.
Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.
Please spare the life of Reginald Clemmons. Upon research, I believe the man to be innocent and beg you for clemency.
Please review this case before this innocent man is executed. Death is not reversible.
Thank you.

Reggie Clemons deserves a chance to live his life righteously instead of being accused of something he didn’t do. Please take part in his case and do the right thing.
vengence is not ours says the lord.
The evidence was not enough to put him in jail nor to be put to death. Please review all and search your mind and heart and pardon him because I feel he is inocent. No one likes to be accuse of something they did not do, even you.
Please FREE REGGIE CLEMONS.
Free Reggie!
THIS IS NOT RIGHT HE HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN GUILTY.THIS IS NOT RIGHT…
No one has a right to take life, that goes for the state. particularly the state which should be exemplary in its treatment of all human beings. When there are as many questions asked as appear to be here that emphasises the argument for not killing people. An African American. How many more will be executed by states in the U.S. It appears barbaric to me living in the United Kingdom in 2009. Stop now!
FREE REGGIE CLEMONS.
Gov. Nixon,
Are African American men innocent until proven
guilty ? Our government in St.Louis need to step up from the injustice that are place on our young men of this city and country . IT IS NOT RIGHT!
The BIBLE SAID,” THOU SHALL NOT KILL!” WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BE ABLE TO REST, KNOWING THAT AND INNOCENT LIFE WAS TAKEN, BECAUSE YOU DID NOTHING TO CHANGE REGGIE CLEMONS LIFE! When I was a jurist the Judge said “IF YOU HAVE REASONABLE DOUBT, YOU CANNOT FIND A PERSON GUILTY.” PLEASE, PRAY for REGINALD CLEMONS LIFE. SAVE HIS LIFE! think your of your children. I think of mine being harassed by the police. Freedom ! God Bless Reginald Clemons Family… PEACE BE WITH YOU!!!!!! GOV. NIXON THANKS!
Dear Gov. Nixon,
I am writing to ask you to please review the case
for Reginald Clemmons. His family has been faithful in trying to get him a new trail that all of the evidence are apparent. Many of us voted for you (the black community) because we have found you to be FAIR to the the black community. You see things that others have turned their backs on. I am confident that you will review this case and make the right decision.
Our prayers are with the family and for you.
I do believe that God will do what ever He knows is right or wrong. He does know and have the answer, Not us.
Thank you.

Fair trial, jury of peers, competent counsel: Without that we have no justice system.
There is too much unfairness in this world and prosecuting an innocent man is not justice. If there is fault I believe the cousin who drove the girls to their death should be more at fault, if anyone was to blame it was him. Everyone was wrong in the role they played that night but death for one should be death for them all. It seems to me that the cousin was rewarded for his part in this and the others were punished. Let him live, God said vengence is mine!!!!!!

From the most ancient of Roman/European times, public executions, crucifixions, assassinations and blatant murders of innocent individuals (as well as the guilty)have been rampant, and unfortunately, a most effective tool used to inflict psychological slavery into the lives, minds and hearts of the masses. The “need” (which springs forth from the power elite)to put Brother Reggie Clemons to death is a continuation of that age-old fear tactic: Keep the masses in CHECK, by any means necessary. Even at the expense of the innocent.
History is reflective of the many souls of men who were taken away via a fascist system of control, disguised as democracy, equality and justice. And for the masses of the conscious people who are familiar with the in-your-face methods of control by execution or imprisonment, it is OUR responsibility to put a hault to this open warfare on our brothers and sisters caught up within the ranks of those scheduled to be publicly–as well as privately–executed.
The American judicial system is one that has been set up for the protection of the wealthy Anglo-European male and his heirs, and the propagation and evolution of their colonialistic way of life. Any law that we “transgress” in the eyes of the caucasion american male is a transgression against their way of life. And at some point, that very same system found Brother Reggie to be an immenant threat or disturbance to that way of life.
We, as a body of conscious, God loving people are now called to task to aid in freeing of Brother Reggie from this incessantly oppressive and murderous system that deems African Americans as a whole as a significant threat to their antiquated and primal train of thought and way of life.
Brother Reggie Clemons MUST be freed, not just given clemency if he is indeed innocent of the alleged charges and subsequent conviction, for as history has shown us so very clearly, the Christians were fed to lions for merely believing (and knowing) that Jesus the Christ was, and is, the Son of GOD!! Are we to mimmic that very same psychologically debillitating behavior time-and-time again, centuries later? When does it end? We MUST learn to stand up for our HUMAN rights as a people, regardless of what the system deems as protocol. A luta continua. . .The struggle continues!
Kiesha Robinson, St. Louis Missouri 63034
I don’t know much about the case. Actually I knew nothing about it until yesterday when I had a layover in Chicago where I came across a flyer about it. It deeply saddens me to know that this has been going on for as long as it has. And to find out that in one week and one day from the day I found out had me almost in tears. However I just came on the site today and found out that the death penalty had been stayed. Please let me know anything I can do to help and I will begin sending out bulletins via myspace and facebook.
Dear Reggie,
Praise God for His continued faithfulness in your pressing and distressing situation. In Deuteronomy chapter thirty one verse six, we are reminded of the words that Moses spoke to the Nation of Israel as they were about to embark upon the promise land, “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will noit leave you nor forsake you.” Please know as you hide these words of comfort in your heart, our Lord and Savior keeps His Word. All that is required of you is to BELIEVE!! “May the Lord bless you and keep you: The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”
O Fallon, MO
Gov. Nixon,
I pray that you have had the opportunity to review the facts in the case and see that Mr. Clemons wasn’t given a fair trial. There’s too many people on death row who are innocent. Please don’t let this be another life taken for no reason.

It is nothing short of basic fairness to take a second look at this case. There are too many open ended questions. Putting Reginald to death under these “questionable” circumstances would be a “mistake” that could not be repaired.
Don’t execute!
Don’t execute.
Where’s the evidence???? Free Reggie Clemons
Don’t execute an innocent man!
Don’t give him death…give him justice!
Don’t execute.
I request clemency for Reginald.
Reggie Clemons should be freed. No physical evidence, not even DNA, and a first confession from the cousin of the Kerry sisters — which then changed again and again. It proves Mr. Clemons is a victim of the Missouri Justice system. May God allow justice to prevail on his behalf. I have faith that He will!
This man needs justice and it needs to be done right! With no prejudice.
FREE REGGIE NOW!!!!
No justice no peace. Reggie needs to be freed!!!
I am in support of Reggie and believe the real killer was allowed out of the situation.
Justice for Reggie!!!
I am against the death penalty. We must allow God’s grace to work on the heart of people. I was involved with another young man by the name of Reggie who had a IQ of 60 or below. He met his death by the hands of the state.
This young man needs another “fair” trial and even though he was with the others, he should not face the death penalty.
I believe, that a non thourough trial, and ignoring facts, just because one can. Is a miscarriage of justice. I thinnk this person may not be guilty. If, I am wrong? My bible states thates that Jesus will not hold it against me, if I have been fooled. However, if I was not being tricked, but those responsible sent this person to his death. Then, I will be just as guilt in Gods eyes of murder as the one accused of murder.
Maine 04101
I agree with all the above.
It is said, “It is better to let five guilty men go free than to kill one innocent man.”
It is clear to me that this case at least needs to be re-examined. There are too many things that I can see that is wrong. I can only imagine how many things I have not been allowed to see that is truely wrong and questionable.
It does not amaze me that a lot of non African American people just refuse to open their eyes to this government system. They quickly judge and believe whatever the media, legal authoritys and government feeds them without even having a notion that they could be wrong.
This upsets me a great deal, and there is much work to be done.
How can one decide anothers fate and rest with that decision,…if all the facts are not examined and brought to light????
St. Charles Mo
I am in this campaign to see justice done for Reggie. He is innocent and if the state let the first person who confessed to this crime (Thomas Cummins cousin of the victims) retract his (supposed beaten into confession). How is it that he is now free and the state is bent on punishing Reggie Clemons and the others, who they know is not guilty of anything. I speak from experience because I was recently exonerated August 2008, after serving 24 years in a Missouri State Prison for a murder I did not commit. I can tell you exactly how the police and prosecutors fabricate so-called “FACTS” in these kind of cases. My question is why hasn’t this Thomas Cummins come under more scrutiny and questioning these past years, months and weeks? Also I have never heard of a case that all of the defendants are “accomplices”, no one has been targeted as the actual murder in this case according to my understanding. If this is true this is worse case of injustice I have ever seen. Stay strong “Reggie Clemons” we are praying and working hard to see you set free my brother. I’ve been there and I know how you feel!
Dear Governor Nixon,
I have been following this case from the beginning and see much reasonable doubt, including possible police brutality and misshandling of the case. Please use the authority of your office to stay Reggie’s execution and give him justice.

Mr. Nixon,
Please reopen to case and review the evidence before you put a man to death. Injustice in this case would be send a message of injustice in the legal system.
FREEDOM, JUSTICE, AND EQUALITY FOR ALL.
TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN,EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE LEGAL SYSTEM IS BLACK AND WHITE AND THE AFRICAN
AMERICAN MEN ALWAYS GET THE BAD END OF THE STICK.
AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WAS STATED IT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT ALL THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN WAS UNJUSTLY DONE. ONE PERSON IS ALREADY DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS WHY SHOULD ANOTHER BE NEXT,INCLUDING THE ONE WITH THE SERVING THE LIFE SENTENCE WITHOUT PAROLE.THE COUSIN OF THOSE TO GIRLS HAS CONFESS TO MURDER THEM. SO CUTTING A DEAL WITH THE LAW ENFORCEMENT MAKES HIM A BETTER MAN. BY ALL MEANS PLEASE LET THIS YOUNG MAN GO FREE HE HAS ALREADY SERVED TIME FOR A CRIME THAT WAS NOT COMMITTED BY HIM NOR ASSOICATE. IF YOU HAVE A HEART AND LOVE IN IT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT RIGHT.WHAT HAPPENING TO HIM IT COULD BE YOU OR YOUR FAMILY MEMBER SOMEDAY SO PLEASE BEWARE. WAKE UP AMERICA.
SAINT LOUIS, MISSOURI
Just look at case and it must be retried.
The man was done wrong please give him another trial so justice can be done. One man dead, one in jail for life,so killing one more with out a fair trial is wrong and I would like to see justice for BLACK AND WHITE GOD IS FAIR TO ALL WHY CAN’T WE? WHITE man get money and goes free but the BLACK man dies that is just wrong.
This case needs to be looked at again, one person being executed wrongly is one too many, and history has shown that it has happened too often in the past. As a Missouri resident, I ask the Governor to look into this closely!
PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT MURDER THIS YOUNG MAN
Please grant Reggie a new trial!
I know the judicial system is set in their OLD WAYS
even when you are wrong you won’t admit it
Find the evidence to prove him guilty without a shadow of doubt before YOU decide to take a human life DO YOUR JOB REVIEW THE EVIDENCE
Dear Govenor, First I like to say put yourself in reggie’s shoes, how would you feel and how would your family feel….. with that being said would you be ready for execution and you have no proven facts for this case? more than that I’m Not racist or any thing but Why pin all the time on the african americans? Why are the caucasians free? Did you make sure everyone had a lie detector test?and if one told several deceptive stories why let him go? there are millions of cases that go unsolved You dont have to bring closure to that family because you feel its right to wrongfully accuse. maybe that was the girls plan all along…to commit suicide? if nobody pushed them,you dont have enough evidence point blank. Let me close like this, My GOD knows what happened, and the bible says vengence is mine and if you are truly judging this case wrong it will come back on you and I truly hope Its not with one of your own. may GOD BLESS. To Reggie’s family GOD Bless you all and I pray justice is served. I don’t ever want to see something like this happen to no one.

The purpose of the Justice system is to ensure Justice for the people, not find scapegoats to close a case. Please do not murder this man–and definitely do not do so in the name of Justice.

Please have this cas reopened so that this young man will have a fair trial and that justice is served fairly not over looking the value of the precious lives that have been lost but making sure the right individuals are punished.
Please do not execute an innocent man. Re open this case and let all the facts be heard.

Dear Governor Nixon,
Please reopen this case and review the evidence or lack there of. Sentencing this innocent man to death is deplorable! Missouri needs to be established and recognized as a state that is fair and just for all Mankind Missourians! The entire nation is watching! This is the SHOW ME STATE! Grant Reggie clemency, It is unconsciouable and a gravely horrific injustice for our state to be responsible for ALLOWING AN INNOCENT MAN WITH NO EVIDENCE BE PUT TO DEATH. My prayers are with you as our new Governor of the people of Missouri to represent us with dignity and do the right thing, by stopping this unjust and immoral execution. Thank you.
I am a white guy distressed at the apparent general imbalance and specific implication of Reginald Clemons in this case. It is clear that we’ve put innocent people to death in prior cases. And though our judicial system may be good and perhaps better than most, sadly, we cannot admit that it is failsafe. I fear that Reggie’s sentence is a mistake. If it is, then we are all collectively responsible and complicit.
Reggie’s case is a particularly poignant example where circumstances, opinion, fact and due process have spun out of control. Result: A perfect storm.
Let’s err on the side of caution and rethink this case.
Dear Governor Nixon,
Thank you for the stay of execution.
Thank you for sparing Reggie Clemmons’ life.
Most of all, thank you for ensuring he gets a fair trial.
Here’s praying the perpetrator(s) will be exposed and brought to justice.
Amen.

please for the sake of reggie’s mother please don’t execute reggie one family already lost a love one please don’t let vera loss her son and don’t make reggie’s daughter loss her daddy. We all are asking for just one thing reggie get a new trial before june 17.
new trial
Governor Nixon, I was recently offered a position in St. Louis but I had to declined that job offer. Now after hearing about Reggie Clemons’ case, I am so glad I did not accept that job offer. There is no way I want my son to grow up in St. Louis if this is the way you all treat our Black men! Please reopen his case so that a fair trial may take place.
I am writing in support of Reggie Clemons, who is scheduled to be executed on June 17, 2009 for a murder that has not been proved through forensic or eye-witness evidence and/or testimony, that he is guilty of. This is just another classic example of racism in America, even with an African-American, recently voted into office as president of the U.S., it is clear that Mr. Clemons was not given a fair trial, as the majority of the jurors were Caucasian, not to mention the fact that a white “witness” was paid-off to tell lies about Mr. Clemons.
Until we begin to unite, fight, demonstrate and show racial unity, African-American men, women and children will continue to be persecuted by a hate-filled so-called White America.
Justice for Reggie!
This is UNBELEIVABLE!!!! I know of this case and it hurts being that this is my family. I pray that my own bllod id not made an exsample of. I can’t put into words how I feel I just know this God will prevail. Please everyone pray for my cousin and that this Governor Nixon will have mercy and deceny with her decision.
Courts stop being racist and evil and let him go now!in jesus name.amen.
TO THE GOVERNOR OR WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN,
WHOEVER HOLDS THE POWER OF REGGIE CLEMONS LIFE IN THEIR HANDS CONSIDER THIS.ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE PEOPLE.SO IF YOU SENTENCE THIS MAN TO DEATH THEN YOU ARE JUDGING HIM.MEANING THAT IF YOU JUDGE HIM THAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE GODS SPOT.MEANING THAT YOU WANT TO BE LIKE LUCIFER AND GET KICKED OUTTA HEAVEN.WHICH MEANS YOU WILL HAVE TO BURN AND GET TORMENTED FOREVER.GOD SAID JUDGE AND YOU WILL BE JUDGED BACK.MEANING IF YOU JUDGE HIM YOU WILL BE JUDGED!SO TO SAVE HIM AND YOURSELF FROM LIVING,DONT KILL REGGIE CLEMONS!IF YOU CARE ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR OWN SOUL,THEN DONT KILL REGGIE CLEMONS!LET GOD JUDGE HIM.AND IF HE REALLY DID IT THEN GOD WILL JUDGE HIM AND HE WILL GET TAKING OUT OF THIS WORLD BY GOD.KARMA.WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.DO YOU WANT THIS COMING BACK AROUND TO YOU?THINK ABOUT IT.HIS BLOOD WILL BE ON YOUR HANDS!
SINCERLY,A WISE OBSERVER
Dear Gov. Nixon, while reviewing this case I am not surprised how easy it is for an African American to be railroaded into a death penalty. The corrupted police officers with the brutality to get the type of force confession they want, the lack of evidence,the injustice that only African American were given the fatal penalties when others were involved and the fact that this being going on for years and the Judicial System seems as if nothing is wrong.Although, this type of misconduct have been going on for years and it is weell over do to stop this injustice.Gov. Nixon this is 2009 and we elected you as the govenor of the people and hope and demand you do the right,just and humane thing. Let your conscious guide you while evaluating the lack of evidence, police brutality and the racial tone of this case and I’m sure you will see this is not justice that you want your name on. In the name of justice, free an innocent man-Reggie Clemons. If he is executed,there is no correcting a very big mistake-murdering an innocent man.
Gov Nixon,
Beyond a reasonable doubt? It appears that many before me and myself have a reasonable doubt that evidence exists that this man is innocent. How many victims does the State of Missouri need to make by being negligent to look at all the facts? Please reopen this case and allow the truth to come out.
You will stand out in our country if you stand on the side of justice.
LET HIM GO!!!!!!!!
Please do not execute this young man. Listen to the facts
Governor Nixon, we the undersigned believe that the facts surrounding the murders of Julie and Robin Kerry on the Chain of Rocks Bridge in 1991 have yet to be fully uncovered. Beatings, forced confessions by the police, prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective counsel and other factors make this a classic case of reasonable doubt. Reggie Clemons has not received due process and justice yet he sits on Missouri’s death row awaiting execution. Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.
Governor Nixon,
Please stay this execution. There are too many questions in this case to execute Reggie. Have mercy and let him have a new trial.
i personaly am sick and tired of the white system not givin us justice when we deserve it!! if this was a white man he would have been out a looong time ago!!
i’m sick to my stomach for this family! i feel really bad for them and hope and pray this man will not die on the 17th as planned by thse inconsiderate prejudice peolpe. i’m tired of our people continue to live like we are still SLAVES!! when will our people get justice when we desrve it? when will our words count for anythhing it’s sad !! and something needs to be done!!
Gov. Nixon,
As I set in the meeting June 14,2009 in Saint Louis, MO it was very disturbing. Everything I heard about Reggie Clemons’ Case is a repeat. These days should be over. Please give this young man a fair trial. Make the Justice System work for everyone.
Justice shall rain for Reggie, take the time out
and view the case.
Gov. Nixon,Please stop this excution on a innocent man.To excute an innocent man is murder.God said,Thou shall not kill.(THIS IS A SIN).
please do not execute Reggie without proer evidence. a new trial needs to be granted. god will judge you if the laws of the land are not adequately applied. you will be held responsible.
Mr. NIXON, WHY NOT RE-OPEN THIS CASE, SO MANY TIME MEN HAS BEEN DONE UNLAWFUL IN USA,seen like if your born black in USA, your got the laws and right,Job,and other thing again you at brith. Mr Nixon please re-open the case for this young man thank you.
Justice delayed is indeed justice denied.
Give this Human what you yourself would want, to be treated fairly.
Please do the right thing.
review facts!
procedural ism has its place,but a capital murder case is not one of them. innocence has to matter-even chief justice rhenquist,writing for the majority in the herrera case,groused that it would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL to execute an appellant where strong a strong claim of innocence exists.procedure exists to FACILITATE justice.period.
Governor Nixon,
I am writing you to request that you please have Mr. Clemons case reopened. Please don’t allow another innocent person to be executed.
Philadelphia, PA
GOVERNOR,
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOOKING AT ALL THE FACTS IN THIS CASE-YOU WILL CLEARLY SEE THAT REGGIE DID NOT COMMIT ANY CRIME. THANK YOU.
I am requesting that Gov. Jay Nixon grant clemency to Mr. Reginald Clemons. It is a known fact that as governor you are in a position to do the righteous act towards Mr. Clemons and his family.
What concerns Missouri citizens that have come to learn about the injustices in Mr. Clemons case is that he never had a trial, he was denied DNA, there is no physical evidence linking him to a rape or murder, and your former position as AG requesting an execution date for Mr. Clemons and now that you’re elected as the Chief Executive Officer (Governor) over the state of Missouri how can you not appoint a Board of Inquiry to review his legal case?
It’s a known fact that Reginald Clemons is an innocent man. It would be a miscarriage of justice and a illegal homicide if he is not granted clemency and a new trial.
As it is written, there will be a historical breach that will take place ocncerning this case and it will expose the injustices that have occurred in Mr. Reginald Clemons wrongful conviction that will set a precedent in our criminal justice system. (ACTS 12)
CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN……
FREE REGINALD CLEMONS!
Leesport, PA
Mr. Nixon,
After reading the article that accompanied this website I was very troubled byt the length of unjustice this young man has faced. I urge you to suppport this young man and do whats right. The purpose for every person on this planet is to help as many people as they can. Politicans in power tend to forget the power they have, influence they project, and the backgrounds where they come from. I ask that you take a look at the evidence and there would be no doubt that Rginald is not only innocent but he has faced enough in regards to this case. Thank you for your time and the possible change that you will make.

Surely the decision to end a man’s life should require more than a cursory consideration of questionable testimony and characters.
Please afford Mr. Clemons every legal protection and right you would demand were your child on death row.
I pray that the Lord leads to do the right thing. Serve our country as fair as the law requests of us to do. Give this gentleman a chance to defend himself. It’s his life on the line. Do as you would want a child of yours to be treated if he were in his shoes. I pray blessing on this situation.
Please reopen and investigate this case thoroughly, do to inconsistent evidence. This case is corrupt injustice and racially motivated. But most of all, be mindful of the consequences, punish and judgemnt that you will encounter by the Most High himself, YOU ARE NOT UNTOUCHABLE FROM JUDGEMENT OF GOD! May God have mercy on YOUR SOUL, if you choose to proceed with the with this unjust case. I am asking you to please, please reconsider.
Governor Nixon,
Please reconsider this case and read the evidenece, that has come forth in front of you, not for the first term when you were in office, but the second as well. We are aware that you proceeded with the death penalty the first time around and now in 2009? Help save this innonecent mans life, this time around (Reggie Clemens) because your judgement form God, can and will be merciful if you choose to do so. God Bless!
I prayed that do open this case back up they were definately given an unfair and unjust trail the first time around. CLEMACY FOR REGGIE CLEMONS…
I pray for not only reggie but antonio richardson as well they are both in this terrible situation together…

Govenor Nixon, please reconsider this case. There is not enough evidence to go forward in such a case like this. The evidenvce points to the young white male, (the cousin)please look into it much closer.

Based on the facts that I have learned about this case I would like to ask you to reopen Reggie Clemons case in order to give him a fair chance for justice. The facts are screaming out loud to heaven, so please take a good look at them again and approve clemency for Reggie Clemons. May God bless you,

Dear Governor Nixon,

since this is a matter of great significance,please permit me to restate my position in a more articulate,or at least grammatically correct way-so that my comments might be included.
procedural ism has a place,but not at the expense of a person’s life,when there is strong and convincing evidence of innocence.even the pro-death penalty chief justice rehnquist,writing for the majority in the herrera case,groused that an execution in a case where strong evidence of innocence exists,would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL.PLEASE GRANT CLEMENCY.thank you.p.s. thanks to the naacp website where i learned of this case.
PLEAE GIVE REGINALD A FAIR TRIAL. PROVE THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED - SHOW THAT THE JUSTICE IS A FAIR SYSTEM. All was not heard in this case for Reginald. This is just another form of lynching (in 2009). Too many facts that were not heard in the case - Reginald didn’t even get to testify in his own behalf. He and the others were beaten into submission. He was beaten to a point, that the judge ordered him taken to the hospital (there are pictures documenting his face) but yet this was ignored. So many of our black men have been jailed & found innocent, released. What if they were put to death. Can’t bring them back, even though they were innocent. Many of our black men were/have been jailed and put to death for a crime they didn’t commit - ONLY GOD CAN GIVE AND TAKE LIFE - this is not man’s decision. This has happened to thousands of our black men - What happened to the cousin - Cummins - he made the original confession. He claimed he was in the water but there’s documentation on film while in the ambulance that he wasn’t even wet - yet this is ignored by our justice system. There’s so, so, so much more to this case - and our justice system is not listening - just ignoring. Just another black man, just another other one. May God forgive them, for they evidently don’t know what they’re about to do.
Chicago, Il
Please reopen this case because there are so many innocent lives that have been taken over the years due to a lack of evidence and also due to laws being different back in the day. Please give this young man a chance for a fair trial today since laws are not like they use to be and evidence is able to be pulled up with better examination and dna.
Dear Governor Nixon,
Please don’t pass up this opportunity to do the right thing.
Nikia McGlothin
Governor Nixon:
This case is a textbook example of when the death penalty should NOT be applied. There are too many unknowns and too many disputed facts for an irreversible sentence of DEATH.
And if later, facts become more clear or if further evidence is introduced, you will not be able to reverse your decision. There are just too many possibilities for error in this case. Please consider clemency so that Reggie will not die for the imperfections of the justice system.
Please reopen this case to insure that all facts are known in this case, far too many innocent people have already died.

I am aware that politicians have to be tough on crime when they are seeking election or re-election and that’s what happened here in Reggie Clemons case. The charges he was falsly convicted of needs to be dismissed. Reggie needs an attorney that is not scarred to come up against the judicial system and fight for what their ethic code of conduct teaches them to do.
I do realize that Reggie is sentenced to die for a crime he did not commit. So, what about you Gov. Jay Nixon are you willing to commit a crime of murder to an innocent man instead of granting clemency or is your political position more valuable than Reggie Clemons life?
WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WOULD LIKE FOR GOVERNOR JEREMIAH “JAY” NIXON TO GRANT REGINALD BYRON CLEMONS CLEMENCY IN 2009.

Please reopen this case to make sure that justice for all is served. Look at the facts surrounding his conviction and anyone can plainly see he was given an unfair trial and conviction.
Too much doubt in this case to kill. Let’s not take another life just to temporarily satisfy the red necks of this state.
No death penalty for Reggie, give him a fair trail.
please review the facts of the case
LET THIS MAN GO IF THERE IS NO EVIDENCE LINKING HIM TO THIS CRIME.
We the people are asking the governor to grant clemency in the case of Reggie Clemons. “Justice for All.”
I pray that God touches the hearts of all those who can help keep Reginal Clemmons alive! He deserves a fair trial!!!
Plase consider the fact that these injustices only promote distrust in the entire judical system.God bless Reggie and God help America if this travesty is allowed to happen.
I hope it isn’t too late to save an innocent man’s life.
There is no justice in killing unjustly. Can we say for sure he is guilty? No. So until there is…let him live!
Dear Governor Nixon,
Since, there is new evidence regarding Mr. Reginald Clemons innocence, you are violating his rights under the constitution for not granting him a new trial. GOD IS WITH YOU REGINALD CLEMONS KEEP THE FAITH !!!
Let this innocent man live. Killing him will accomplish nothing but creating further injustice.
Governor Nixon,
Please consider all of the facts indicating Reggie may be innocent of this crime. It’s a matter of life and death.
Thanks,

I hope this will help in opening law-makers eyes in the injustice of all minorities in this country. We voted a minority in one of the most highly decorated offices in the United States. But I realize that he can only do so much. We need to rally again just like we did to get President Obama in office to wipe out injustice in our communities everywhere. Injustice is injustice no matter where it happens. Thank you for your time and consideration.
I pray that he will be released. This is a tragic event which should be rectified. God Bless Reggie Clemons!
PLEASE…do the RIGHT thing for Reggie. Let him have his clemency…if not, Reggie, at the least, DESERVES a FAIR trial!!!

I hope it is not too late to review this case. Nothing seems to add up to a guilty man. Especially, since there seemed to be so many “plea deals”. I think the cousin had something to do with this. Don’t you??

My thing is how can you kill him for murder when he never even charged him for what he supposedly confessed to (rape not murder). And then you pay the cousin and let him help convict Reggie for what he (Thomas Cummins Confessed to in the first place. Why is it when you are black you are guilty until proven innocent, and when you are white you are innocent until proven guilty. Thomas cummins should still be in jail based on his initial confession he knows what happened. You already let one person die because you wanted to have sex with your own cousin. Thoms Cummins do what is right and confess because you know you did it or else you would have never told the police that story. Keep Your Head Up Reggie God Got You.
The injustice in our justice system must be exposed, plucked out, torn down, completely demolished and rebuilt!
NEW TRIAL!

Gov. Nixon, I believe you want to see the facts in this case clearly before possibly sending an innocent man to his death. It’s not always about politics. Let justice reign where truth is unfettered.
When the world starts to take innocent lives, we are living in the last days.. God help us, and God help the judicial system of this country! Only the facts should matter, and in this case those were not presented, and I pray that you find in your hearts to do the right thing by this young man and his family, justice has to be served, and right now and for the last 16 years in his case it hasn’t been served!
I HAVE SPOKEN TO REGGIE SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST AND IM PRAYING FOR HIM EVERYDAY….GOD LET THE REAL CRIMINALS IN THIS SITUATION BE EXPOSED AND LET REGGIE COME OUT, DELIVER HIM LORD.

THE ARTICLE ALSO STATES TWO (2) EYEWITNESS FAILED TO LINK CLEMONS TO THE MURDER!AGAIN WHY ARE YOU HOLDING HIM? I AM REQUESTING THE MISSOURI GOVERNOR JAY NIXON RELEASE THIS MAN AS HE HAS WASTED MOST OF HIS LIFE SITTING IN A CELL. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE? LET THIS MAN GO!

Nobody desreves to die. It is just so wrong to take another persons life. Reginal Clemmins should be given his right to live!
I know very little about the American Judical system, but if there is no evidence linking Reginal to the crime clearly they should let him go. It sickens me to think that such a huge error can be made in this day and age in America! Please let this man go!
As an american I have complete faith in our justice system, however sometimes it is necessary to point out the flaws. I have read and seen many of the notes, videos, and testimonies from the event on the Chain of Rocks Bridge. I cannot see where Reggie Clemons is “guilty beyond a resonible doubt”. DNA will either prove or disregard that Reggie was involved to the extent that is being said. I do not believe there is enough evidence to prove that. As far as I can tell it is all circumstantial. There needs to be another, completely unbiased trial.
i know the system is flawed but this is beyond cruel
I pray the hearts of those making this decision are touched and GOD opens the gates of prison and free Reggie!

Govenor Jeremiah “Jay” Nixon:
You have been invested with the authority to spare the life of a man who was convicted despite a lack of physical evidence linking him to the crime.
In the face of overwhelming doubt, a tremendous injustice will prevail without your intervention.
If you have any respect for life and justice,then please use the power bestowed on you to grant clemency to Reginald Clemons.
All eyes are on Missouri! What message are you willing to send regarding that values that you espouse on behalf of you state?
I THINK THAT HE IS INNOCENT PLEASE SPARE HIS LIFE
I THINK THAT HE IS INNOCENT
Free this Man !
I believe that Reggie needed to be pardoned and what has happened to him has been a grave injustice. Please grant him a pardon before it is too late!! He has already lost too much of his life for crimes that he was falsely accused of.
Please give Reggie Clemmons a fair trial. Remove his death sentece. Clearly his rights have been violated and the person or persons truly guilty for the murders of two victims has yet to be brought to justice.

Fear not, I am with you; be not dismayed; I am your God. I will strenghten you, and help you, and uphold you with My right hand of justice.
I am praying that governor give Reggie clemency.
This was a horrible ordeal for both the victims and the other victims(Reggie, Tony, and Marlon). I have followed this case being really close friends with Antonio Richardson and this was really a bias case. The state just wanted to place blame on anyone and it just so happened they found 3 black men who they could use. Tom Cummings testimony changed more than the weather but no one cared. How could Mr Moss sleep at night after all of this?
The death penalty is wrong

Governor Nixon I humbly request that clemency be granted to Mr. Reginald Clemens and that action is taken to investigate possible prosecutorial and investigative misconduct involving this case.

Gov. Jay Nixon,
Prove this man guilty before killing him! This man deserves a fair trial. You can not take back death!
We live in a world where society wants us to forget about what white people did to us…Look at what they are still doing to US! Why isn’t this case shown on Nancy Grace or any of the other Court TV shows? It makes me believe that the reason it is NOT is because they know that they would have to over turn the verdict and pay some money to the wrongly convicted. The sad thing about it that I doubt it the Reggie and his family wants money…They probably only wants the TRUTH and that would be his FREEDOM!!! Be blessed Ms. Thomas
Gov. Jay Nixon
I believe in the Christian way. For whatever reason people do what they do, man does not create life so we don’t have the right to take a life. I plead to you to show mercy and just hear the facts again.
GOV. JAY NIXON
I WOULD LIKE FOR U TO TAKE A MOMENT TO REFLECT ON “IF MY CHILD WAS IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS”. “IF THIS WAS MY CHILD HOW WOULD I FEEL”, ” IF THIS WAS MY CHILD WHAT WOULD I DO TO SAVE HIS OR HER LIFE”, WHAT IS THE EXTENT U WOULD GO THROUGH MR. NIXON TO KEEP THE CHILD YOU HELPED BRING INTO THE WORLD? PLEASE THINK ON THIS. THINK ON IT AS U LOOK AT YOUR KIDS OR GRAND KIDS IF YOU HAVE ANY. REGGIE HAS A DEDICATED MOTHER AND FATHER. HE ALSO HAS A DAUGHTER THAT LOVES HIM AND WANTS HER FATHER TO LIVE. IN THE NAME OF JESUS PLEASE CONSIDER SAVING THIS FATHER, SON, AND CHILD OF GOD’S LIFE.
Please save Reggie. I have read a lot on this case and believe he is innocent. At the very least, he is not guilty beyond a doubt and should not be excuted.

No man should be deprived of life, liberty, or property without the due process of law.
When President Bush took up office he stated that no person would be executed without a fair trial and that defence for death row inmates would be of the very highest quality in order that no mistakes or miscarriages of justice could occur.
This is one such case that must be reconsisdered. All the facts point to someone OTHER than Mr Clemons being the guilty party and he must NOT be executed. These facts MUST be bedisclosed at a fairtrial.
It’s all been said. Do the right thing.
We know that God is truth,we must pray He will
allow the truth to be known in Reggie’s case.

NAACP Requests Governor Jay Nixon to Appoint Board of Inquiry and Seeks Clemency to Stop Unjust Execution
NAACP National Board Member Harold Crumpton and NAACP Missouri State Conference President Mary Ratliff are requesting Governor Jay Nixon appoint a Board of Inquiry and grant clemency to Reggie Clemons.
Clemons, 37, is an African-American man sentenced to death for the 1991 murder of two young women who drowned after plunging from the Chain of the Rocks Bridge into the Mississippi River. There was no physical evidence linking Reggie to the crime for which he received the death penalty: no fingerprints, no DNA, no hair or fiber samples. Reggie’s case is filled with many injustices, including police brutality, gross prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective defense counsel.
“Reggie Clemons was tortured by police into making a statement that was used against him at trial. But even after five hours of violent interrogation, he never confessed to murder,” stated NAACP National Board Member Harold Crumpton. “The two eyewitnesses failed to link Clemons to the murder. One of them initially confessed to the killing, and the other one got a sweetheart deal for his testimony. The other evidence was Clemons’ confession which was induced by hours of torture.” Crumpton said.
“Governor Nixon should convene a Board of Inquiry immediately and grant clemency for Reggie Clemons. More than 20% of black defendants who have been executed in the U.S. were convicted by all-white juries. Although St. Louis is more than 50 percent African American, there were only two black people on Reggie’s jury,” stated Mary Ratliff, NAACP Missouri State Conference President.
“It is wrong to put to death someone who clearly might be innocent. Our nation and our State are better than that. It is not only unjust for Reggie but for the families of the victims who deserve to have the real killers punished. Executing the innocent is a mistake that cannot be rectified,” stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous.
The Missouri State Conference of the NAACP is calling on supporters to fax (573-751-1588), send letters and emails to Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and to sign a petition for clemency for Reggie Clemons at http://www.justiceforreggie.com.
Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

Please do not execute - Deal with this in a sane way, not hysteria! Otherwise, real hysteria will insue.
I recently heard Dr. Angela Davis discuss issues of institutional warehousing of black men by an unjust criminal justice and penal system and was absolutely floored not only by her concise and compassionate collection of data, but by the critical and dispassionate message it delivers. We will NEVER be credible leaders of the free world either politically, socially or morally as long as we continue to tolerate such heinous persecution and inappropriate exercise of power in this country. The type of treatment is an inequitable as those countries we criticize and in which we seen to intervene. It’s about hypocrisy and as ugly is the word, its practice is even uglier.
Dear Govenor Nixon:
You have the power to intervene for justice by preventing the execution of Reginald Clemons.
If you fail to use your authority, and this young man is murdered by the State of Missouri, and later exonerated, all of us will bear responsibility for an unspeakable state crime.
In the face of overwhelming doubt, an irreversible and tragic injustice is has its marching orders.
Use your power and human decency to immediately grant clemency to Reginald Clemons.
One of the founding principles of this great nation is that it is better for a guilty man to go free than for an innocent man to be punished.
Do not violate our ethical, legal and moral obligation to every citizen.

Reggie Clemons deserves the right to a fair retrial, as any individual does who has been at the mercy of human error in the court room, especially when his trial led to the death sentence.

Justice for Reggie!!!
I’am so glad GOD know the truth..You can take his body but you can’t have his soul.He without sin cast the first stone.The sad thing is a man have to decide if another man live or die.I guess the people that make that choice was never wrongly accused of anything..I guess the difference between them and Mr.Clemons is someone gave them a chance to prove they were innocent and they are to good to return the favor.But they say this is land of free ….lol……
How can this be called justice? Missouri government scares the hell out of me. I’ve read many of these posts…I add my name to the list.
We have a current governor who’s bent on seeing through these executions–these very cases that he pushed to get execution dates for while serving as our attorney general. Missouri justice is evil–especially coming out of the St. Louis area. Grant Reggie clemency now!
My son was wrongfully convicted. I know exactly how this “justice” system works.
Governor Nixon needs to listen to the pleas of thousands and grant clemency for Reggie Clemons.
I strongly believe Reggie Clemons is innocent.

How can a man be sentenced to death who did not commit the crime when the one accused did not?
Too often we have prosecution that does not uphold justice but intices politics at the cost of precious life. Murderers in a sense of accomplices and perpertrators in a suit.
FREE REGGIE! LET FREEDOM RING FOR ALL!

I have paid very close attention to this case and as an Missouri taxpayer I feel I shall have a voice and speak out about the issues that arise with all taxpayers monies I feel that Mr.Clemons has done no harm I hope you can have a heart for Mr.Clemons and grant him an appeal as well his chance to tell his story and let us the taxpayers of Missouri hear his side of the story instead of the Missouri police department beating the hell out of him and his friends to admit to killing the Kerry sisters that night. PLEASE HEAR HIM OUT AND MY GOD BLESS MR.CLEMONS, HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Moi je crois que quand le moindre doute subsiste quant a la culpabilite de quelqu’un dans une affaire, l’execution est le verdict a ne pas donner. Tout les hommes sont les memes et ont par consequent tous droit a la justice. Concernant Reggie je crois fermement qu’il est innocent.

Governor Nixon,please do the right thing.
Wilmington, Delaware — The anticipated murder of Reggie Clemons, whose guilt is highly questionable, will only serve to create another family of innocent victims — by a system whose guilt of this premeditated murder will very much be undeniable. STOP this murder!
please allow this young man an appeal. my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
Governor Nixon:
Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. As evidenced by the recent exoneration of Josh Kezer, illegally kept imprisoned in Jefferson City prisons for a decade and a half for a murder that he didn’t commit, mistakes are made in our legal system. Moreover, not just mistakes, but the purposeful twisting of the justice system. Don’t allow an innocent man to be put to death in this state. Please let Missouri be known as a state where truth and justice reign.
Respectfully submitted,
Laurie Bobbitt
This case needs proper investigation. Whatever one thinks about the death penalty, no one can be in favor of executing someone who has strong claims of innocence. It does not bring justice to the family of the victims, the defendant, nor the family and loved ones of the defendant. All parties involved with this tragic case need to demand that full investigation be done so that the truth is on the table. It is incomprehensible that anyone would want less than the truth.
Dear Gov Nixon,
Please stop this cycle and grant Mr Clemons a release.
Governor Nixon please heed the pleas of thousands and grant clemency for Reggie Clemons. I strongly believe Reggie Clemons is innocent. Because of the improper handling and prosecution of this case, Mr Clemons should be released. I pray God’s will over your life and governorship.
FREE REGGIE, I am related to his niece and nephews and I know people that knew Reggie everyone says he’s not good for the murders of his friends, the evidence is false, it’s known so LET THAT MAN GO and he needs to be paid for his time and heartache. As you see his mother never stop fighting for her son,which to me speaks volumes, she knowns her son and if he were a murderer that GOD fearing woman would not stand behind a murderer, son or no son.
Free Reggie Clemons! Do not let another innocent man be put to death. This screams of injustice. My thoughts are with his family.

Il est temps de revoir tous les dossiers de ces innocents ! Une vraie Justice
After doing a exstensive and complete paper for a law class, and the information about Nels Moss jr. and the action by his office in the matter of prosecutorial misconduct, any case that was prosecuted by him should be looked at very closely and if the death sentence is involved it should automatically be sent back to the lower court for retrial with a change of venue and special prosecutor with inpeckable reputation to prosecute the case. As you are aware,the issue of prosecutorial misconduct was argued before the highest court in the land.(11/4/09) It will be interesting to see how the justices decide this case of egregious act by prosecutors who knowingly and intentionally fabricate or hide/destroy or tamper with exculpatory evidence

dear governor:
so many human beings are falsely incarcerated. have you ever thought why? humbly, i ask that you provide reginald clemons a fair trial, so that he can obtain justice, once and for all. for an innocent man to die in prison is not the american way.
please free reggie
Dear Governor Blunt,
As a woman raised in MO as a daughter of wonderful parents who campaigned for Senators Danforth and Bond, many years ago, as well as spent time at the Danforth’s home as a friend of his daughter, Mary, please give me a few moments of your time as a courtesy.
I worked for the Justice Department for several years. The INJUSTICE which has derailed Reggie Clemons’ life is Constitutionally intolerable. All citizens deserve the full power and original meaning behind the Constitution as their protection beyond a reasonable doubt. Mr. Clemons, as well as the citizens of MO, were denied this as a result of this improperly handled nightmare.
As a man who knows the right thing to do, deep down in your soul, as you would want for any member of your family had they received INJUSTICE, I implore you to grant him clemency.
This gross injustice can never give him those years back, but the injustice doesn’t have to continue into perpetuity. Do what is right and just.
I can´t believe that trial…
FREE REGI!!

I hope everything ll be done quickly now…Together we can help him!!!
Please include my name on the petition for Reggie, I hope justice is eventually done it’s just so sad that someone has already been MURDERED by the ‘law’ that governs the US. Disgraceful at best.

Govenor Nixon, I understand that your career was built on being tough on crime, that is what prosecutors do. The question for you is if getting the conviction is more important than getting the person that committed the crime. The politics of crime has skewed our Justice System into a tool to further political careers instead of a search for justice.
If you allow Reggie Clemmons to be executed you will be guilty of committing murder of an innocent man because his trial was not a fair trial and as of yet the state has not truely proven him guilty. In your heart I am sure you feel empathy for all the victims you worked to get justice for. When you allow a miscarrige of justice you create another victim and cheat the original victims of the justice they deserve.
Dear Govenor Nixon,
Please do n’t execute Reginald Clemons without giving him a fair hearing and investigation. I plead with you to uphold justice as this was your vow be-fore God and the public you serve. This man is innocent and has not received any justice in the courts. Please don’t be an accomplice to another “legal lynching” as we know has happened often in the U. S. penal system.
Gaping holes in this conviciton of Reggie Clemont is an absolute disgrace to the rights of Human Justice fought for every day on this planet. The brazen confidence of the prosecutor alone, plus the flawed witnesses, tells the world of the shameful form of justice still practiced in the US. “What kind of example for a supposedly fair; democratic, teacher of Human Dignity in this powerful nation.”

Governor Blount,
Please stop the execution of Reggie Clemons before it is too late. Time is needed to firmly establish the facts of this case. Please take that time. What a tragic mistake it would be if an innocent man’s life is taken. That is what is at stake here. Our nation’s belief -that every human life is valuable- cries out for the halting of this execution and getting ALL pertinent information that is lacking.
Thank you,
Dear Governor:
We the undersigned believe that the facts surrounding the murders of Julie and Robin Kerry on the Chain of Rocks Bridge in 1991 have yet to be fully uncovered. Beatings, forced confessions by the police, prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective counsel and other factors make this a classic case of reasonable doubt. Reggie Clemons has not received due process and justice yet he sits on Missouri’s death row awaiting execution. Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed.

Please exercise your authority to halt Reggie’s execution and allow the facts to be thoroughly uncovered and reviewed in the case. This petition does not seek to argue the validity of the death penalty. Rather, it asserts that Reggie has not received due process in his trial.
We cannot let another innocent person be wrongfully executed. Please do not be responsible for this innocent man’s death.
Sincerely,
