As many of you know, I participate in the Board Meeting by phone. The Board just repeatedly attempted to call me, but all that could be heard was a loud noise. I am sure the phone company will be back to address this as they were at Holman only recently. However, yesterday the phone was working and Jeff and I discussed the following agenda, which I am sure they are following right now. On a personal note, I am sad about this as I always look forward to speaking to the various Board members one on one. We have been family now for a long time!

Dear Senator Ward,

We are heartbroken to have to announce that our dear friend Jesse Morrison, founder of our organization and President Emeritus died from complications of a long illness tonight.
 
We will have more to say about the extraordinary visionary, leader and friend Jesse was, but for tonight we simply ask you to keep his family as well as his family on death row and at St Clair’s in your thoughts and prayers. We will never forget you Jesse, and will continue to Be the Other Voice, just as you always were.

It was good to see the comprehensive article in the Alabama Political Reporter on Senator Hank Sanders’ Bill 244 which would end life-to-death sentences conversions when Jury objects. One of the mandates of our organization is to educate the public as a way of bringing about change and therefore we are very appreciative of all engaged in this monumental task.

Dear Senator Ward,
Does capital punishment act as a deterrent for murder rates? The claim that it does, is for many people the main reason to support it.
