[FADPUpdate] ABA Florida Death Penalty Report Release

[melliott3@aol.com]

Friends,
 
The American Bar Association's Florida Death Penalty Assessment Report is now released and available:
 
http://www.abanet.org/moratorium/assessmentproject/florida.html
 
The entire report is lengthy.  The "Factsheet/Recommendations" is two pages and there is a synopsis under "Executive Summary".
 
This non-partisan report by a panel of some of the most respected legal minds in Florida reveals much about the sometimes secretive workings of our fatally-flawed system and calls for action and investigations.
 
The FADP.org webpage is being updated to assist with information and actions on the ABA Florida Report and the scheduled execution of Clifford Hill/Razaaq Muhammad.
 
The media coverage has begun.  LETTERS TO THE EDITOR will help focus attention.  There are stories in virtually every paper in Florida.  A few examples with varying angles of coverage:
