Comment It seems as though we now live in a hypocritical society where on one hand they will burn clinics and carry right to life signs and make the living lead physically miserable lives because of ignorance, prejudice, class extinction and so on. People cheer for executions and celebrate when Osama is killed. A pathetically warped nation we are. The worst Mob we have known today is sitting in elected and appointed offices. I spent time with Barry Scheck (Innocence Project). It is truly appalling how many innocents have been put to death and how many innocents sat in prison until their innocence was revealed and how many more bare close scrutiny. You are a good man Gov. Brown. Please consider the flawed proceedings in this case. We must stop incarcerating and putting to death any questionable proceedings. Lincoln said that it is better to let a guilty man free than put an innocent one to death. I trust your goodness to make a wise decision.

5 Name: Tonya

Comment Dear Governor Jerry Brown. I'm writing to ask you to please reconsider the exacution of Kevin Cooper. It is imparative that we are certain that we are not taking the life of an innocent man or woman. It sure is worth farther investigation. The burden of putting to death an innocent man or woman is a very very heavy burden to carry, simply because the blood of that person lies on your hands. Thank you. Tonya Rodriguez.

Comment I respectfully write to you from Brisbane, Australia concerning the death penalty imposed upon Kevin Cooper. As a former Solicitor (Attorney) I passionately and strongly believe in Blackstone's formulation - "better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer". There are too many doubts about Kevin Cooper's guilt to justify the death penalty.

8 Name: Davandra

Comment Although I am not American, I DO NOT stand for innocent people being executed for a crime they didn't commit. I truly hope that this gets reversed and true justice is given and they free this man. The prosecution will know the real culprits if only they give a damn and speak to the girlfriend (or ex) of one of them. FREE THIS INNOCENT MAN NOW !!!!!

15 Name: Danielle

Comment I believe in the right to innocence and a fair trail for everyone regardless of race, color and sex. Our Founding Fathers would be ashamed of what this country has become. If you take the life of an innocent man, will that not weigh on your conscious? I have yet to meet someone in power who has a clean and clear conscious. The archaic death penalty is a direct violation of human rights and should be abolished immediately. Mr. Cooper should be given a fair trail when there is so much reasonable doubt abounding his guiltiness. If this was one of your family members or friends, would you not want justice to prevail and a wronged to be corrected? You would want to save their life and would do everything in your power to see that it is done. Well, this is an opportunity for you to stand up and stand out among the crowd of corruption that is running rampant in this country. You have the power in your hands to set yourself apart from the "cookie cutter" politicians that run this nation and do the right thing.

21 Name: Wanda Colwell Smith

Comment The murder of anyone is not justice--just because the courts have legalized murder doesn't make it right. Everything Hitler did was legal when he took power; was it right because it was legal? No, we all know that. The United States should end the death penalty simply because we are above the Nazis and their death squads. My point; just because something is legal does NOT make it right. When a person's loved one is murdered, it causes nothing but pain--legalized murder causes pain--how can our society NOT understand that? Please stop legalized murder.

25 Name: Halimah Allah

Comment Kevin Cooper: "My Innocence Keeps Me Strong" This case, and too many others I've learned about from various newsletters (ACLU, Innocence Project, Prison Radio, FAMM, Think Outside the Cage, Ella Baker, etc), presents of a picture of systematic dehumanization; of too many men and women buried alive in SHUs and on death-rows in America's prisons (dungeons)! As with Micheal Cooper, even if some of these men and women are able present enough of evidence to prove themselves innocent, they have been deprived of precious time -- 15, 20, 30 yrs. -- robbed of their youth, their most productive years! Once exonerated they are set out with few resources and minimal support outside of family and friends! The general public is simply to distracted to be attentive, or to give the problem even a cursory thought! However, the abyss that is the criminal (in)justice system has and is swallowing whole generations. Kevin Cooper, like Troy Anthony Davis continues to profess his innocence; and it is my fervent prayer that he will live to prove his case and be allowed to enjoy the remaining years of his life in peace and freedom!

29 Name: Bobbie Freeman

Comment Have we forgot the laws of God. Thou shall not kill. Please remember that no one is above God, under any circumstances. Even if someone was guilty of murder(s) vengeance is mine saith the Lord. Stop killing to show that killing is wrong!!!

30 Name: Susan Mullen

Comment We the PEOPLE of the United States of America deserve Liberty and Justice for all... These words are the words that ALL Americans deserve to live by. Please do not execute Mr. Kevin if there is the slightest bit of reasonable doubt; for you cannot bring him back once he's gone. You will have to live with knowing you killed a man, thus being illegal, and should result in consequences. Please do the right thing and re-hear this case... he deserves this right. We are the people of the United States of America...with Liberty and Justice for all. Good day, Susan Mullen Summerville, SC

31 Name: Matthew Korn

Comment End the death penalty now! Justice for Kevin Cooper!

32 Name: Whitney Edmondson

Comment The death penalty inherently violates the constitutional ban against cruel and unusual punishment and the guarantee of due process of law and the equal protection of the laws. Moreover, the wrongful execution of an innocent person is an injustice that can never be rectified.

Comment I believe that Kevin Cooper is innocent and should be released. Also the state of California should once again abolish the death penalty and prevent innocent men from being executed.

43 Name: Jason McGaughey

Comment Keven Cooper is an innocent man, if the state pursues his execution then they are guilty of the worst possible form of murder imaginable...state sponsored lynching such as what the state of GA did to Troy Davis only a few months ago

44 Name: Joanna & Ike Martin

Comment We believe Kevin Cooper was not given a fair trial. We believe Kevin Cooper does not deserve to be on death row. We believe the state has let Kevin Cooper down by wrongly accusing him of murders that he did not commit. We hope that those in power will exercise their power to wield justice and right wrongs.

46 Name: Connie Wells

Comment I lived in Chino Hills in 1983. I remember this very well. I especially remember all of the police , guns drawn,walking along the highway looking for someone. The news said his name was David Trautman as that was the name he was booked under at Chino prison. As I recall, it was several days later that they realized his name was Kevin Cooper. There used to be a bar calls The Canyon Corral and I used to visit there sometimes. There was a bartender there that stated that three men came there looking for the Ryen residence and said they were supposed to do some work there on that same day. They came back that night, all showered with fresh clothes, damp hair and such. Same night,I read in the local psper a mans car was stolen (staion wagon I believe} and was found later somewhere by the beach. Why was this never mentioned? It made more sence to me that three men would have been more able to slaughter all of those people. Wasn't it over 100 wounds to each body? The sheriff's department were so sure that they had the right man, but I always had my doubts. Anyone care to share my thoughts?

47 Name: Roberta Herold

Comment Kevin Cooper should not be executed. He should be freed from prison. How can you equate 3 white male suspects, into 1 black male, from the child who witnessed it? Another example of our justice system being blind!

72 Name: Misako Miyagawa

Comment Governor Jerry Brown: Kevin Cooper's prosecution was an obscenity to any notion of legal justice. His condemnation on Death Row an unconscionable, tragic reality. Yet moral bankruptcy is not ours, as a people, if fair, swift, prudent action is taken - based on the FACTUAL EVIDENCE of the case - to reverse such a gross miscarriage of justice. Mr. Cooper can never regain the many years he has lost. But we can honor moral conscience by imploring you, as the governor of the state of California, to return Mr. Cooper his rightful freedom. Without delay. We are nothing - as a people, as a country, as a nation - if we allow such horrific abuse of the justice system to take the life of ANYONE without a fair trial. Please grant clemency to Kevin Cooper. Now.

78 Name: Nimueh Rephael

Comment Governor Brown, For most of my life, I have followed your career and been heartened by your steps forward. In the matter of Kevin Cooper, I ask you to please grant clemency here where it is clearly due, despite whatever pressures are upon you to just "let it slide" and hold his situation where it is, on Death Row for crimes committed by others and covered up by those who have the moral and legally charged duty to assist him. Heartfully, Nimueh Rephael

Comment Dear Governor Brown: I am Not a soft-hearted fool. But I believe in ending the death penalty. I also believe that if evidence is tampered with, there needs to be consequences for those who stand in the way of getting the facts. I believe that the facts will exonerate Kevin Cooper who has paid for the lies of others by spending half his life on Death Row. I ask you and Attorney General Harris to review this case through his attorneys and provide justice for this black man.

92 Name: Daniel Knewitz

Comment I, for the life of me, cannot understand beyond a superficial glance why capital punishment is considered a via means of carrying out justice. This is especially true with regard to the case of Kevin Cooper. I ask that you please make your very best attempt to consider this case without the influence of political agenda. There is too much at stake to move forward with this scheduled intention to kill a human being.

93 Name: Dee Allen.

Comment For three decades, politicised California prisoner Kevin Cooper had sat on death row. For a triple murder a social prisoner already coffessed to. Cooper should already be exonerated and walking among us. To the state of California: No one wants a repeat performance of Troy Davis's Georgia execution here in California. Don't kill this innocent Black man. Instead, Because he deserves it, FREE KEVIN COOPER.

94 Name: Nolan Harris, Jr.

You are an inspiration to me and i hope we can come together and turn this around. keep going!

99 Name: Ginger M. Holman

Comment I am against the death penalty, to begin with. In addition, I believe there is sufficient evidence indicates Kevin Cooper is innocent of the crime he is charged with. To end the life of another human being is wrong. To end the life of one who has been falsely accused is worse. Please do not add to the immorality of the death penalty by allowing an innocent man, Kevin Cooper, to be executed.

Comment Why does a Self proclaimed 'guiding light' in true democracy continue to practice the archaic punishment of the Death penalty? And yet believe they are the rightful liberators to those under dictatorships, the same dictators whom also practice the death penalty. The obvious point is that the death penalty is only enforced by religious zealots. Hypocritical is an ugly term for the democratic leaders of the free World. Please note my comment does not reflect anything other than the insanity of the death penalty in the US. An issue I feel extreme passion about, I understand the need for punishment but not state sanctioned murder. Please review Kevin Coopers case and take the time to really review it, an innocent Mans life depends on you just opening your eyes. Cheers
