He Won't Let Paul House Be Forgotten
During the past several weeks, with the end of the Governor's moratorium, the tragic execution of Philip Workman, and the increasing movement of death penalty study legislation, we haven't heard the name Paul House in the media or the general public debate on the death penalty recently. And we should, because, regardless of your opinion on capital punishment, no one should be in favor of executing an innocent man.Well, Representative Mike Turner is having none of it! He's already
written to the Governor asking him to do the right thing and pardon Paul House, but now he will be circulating a letter among his colleagues asking them to sign on to also call on the Governor to get an innocent man home to his mother!
