Tony Carruthers is set to be executed tomorrow. We're going to the Supreme Court now to stop this irreversible injustice, but we need you with us one more time. Call 855-880-2155 and tell Tennessee Governor Bill Lee: The country is watching. Halt Tony Carruthers' execution. Together with Tony's family, we delivered over 130,000 petition signatures – including your name – to the governor's office earlier this week. 
The Carruthers family delivered the petition signed by more than 130,000 people to Governor Lee's office this week. |
Yet despite this powerful display, the governor announced just hours later that he doesn't intend to stop the execution, even though we cannot say for certain who committed the crime. The state continues to sit on DNA and fingerprint evidence that could prove that Tony was wrongfully convicted. While we urge the Supreme Court to stop the state from going forward with the execution, we need to keep putting the heat on the governor for allowing this horrifying miscarriage of justice to proceed. Call Governor Lee at 855-880-2155 now and remind him: Killing a potentially innocent man is not justice. Don't let Tony Carruthers be wrongfully executed on your watch. Thank you for adding to the growing chorus calling for justice for Tony – and thank you for taking action with us again today.
