Two Americas….Three Decades of Injustice for Gary Tyler Celeste Fremon 2007-11-30 2:10 PM
On Wednesday night, Mitt Romney made a point of taking potshots at John Edwards for Edwards’ “two America’s” campaign theme. “We do not have two Americas,” said Romney with a self-righteous flourish. Oh but we do. And nowhere is the schism more evident than in the U.S. criminal justice system. In the case of Gary Tyler, 49, the division had more to do with race, than it did with class. Tyler has been in prison in the Louisiana state penitentiary at Angola for over 30 years. At age 17 he was convicted of murdering a 13-year-old white boy in the fall of 1974 in Destrehan, Louisiana, during the height of that town’s school integration crisis. Tyler is black. (text/plain)

I don't see me getting involved in this", but I listened as he pleaded for help in the release of Gary Tyler from Angola prison in Louisiana. He was looking for employment for Gary Tyler in hospice care IF Gary Tyler could get through the pardon hearing that he had been granted a right to. (text/plain)

Urge Governor Blanco to Pardon Gary Tyler AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL 2007-11-30 6:46 AM
Urge Governor Kathleen Blanco to ensure that Tyler gets a new pardon board hearing, and then pardon Tyler before she leaves office in January Gary Tyler, an African-American man, is currently serving a life sentence without chance of parole for the 1974 murder of a 13-year-old white student. Although he was only 16 at the time of the incident, Tyler was charged as an adult in a trial that was seriously flawed. Despite a climate of extreme racial tension in the town of Destrehan, Louisiana, there was no change of venue for the trial. In addition, the jury was all white; members of the black community were deliberately excluded. Tyler's defense attorney did not interview any witnesses, failed to prepare for trial, and spent only one hour with Tyler throughout the entire year previous to the trial. Furthermore, since the trial, key prosecution witnesses have recanted their testimony. (text/plain)

Think Not 'Global' Warming - Think 'Oceans' Warming Don Beck 2007-11-28 3:28 PM
Global warming seems mysterious to most of us. A 1 degree rise in annual global temperature sounds minuscule, doesn't it....... until you remember that the oceans are involved ........ ... very heavily involved. The oceans are simply unfathomably immense! Their mass is actually incomprehensible, being 70% of the earth's surface (310 million cubic miles). If you could stack water 100 cubic miles long and 100 cubic miles wide, that column would reach 31,000 miles into outer space. That is truly an astronomical amount of water! (text/plain)
