Weekly Report from the Board Meeting at Holman Prison 6.14.17

A somber meeting where we remembered Little Rob and discussed the horror of one more botched execution.

Friends,

We are very sad to announce that the State of Alabama took the life of Robert Melson tonight at Holman Prison. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family members, many friends on the Row and his valiant attorneys who were able to get a stay from the 11th.The stay was lifted by the U.S. Supreme Court at Alabama’s request, a state that knows little about justice and prides itself in its bloody history.
