MY DEATH ROW FRIEND LOST HIS LAST APPEAL.
Does anyone here know anything about this? They are going to set an execution date. Isn't there something that I can do? It's like a train coming down the tracks at you, and you can't stop it. How can human beings do this to each other?

Is there a foundation or some other kind of organization that can do ANYTHING at this point?

1. I'd like to help
I'm against the death penalty in all cases.

Perhaps you can find some info here:

Good luck!

2. The Innocence Project may have some resources if your friend was
wrongfully convicted.

Best wishes to you and your friend.

4. He wasn't. He's guilty.
It's still wrong to kill him, though.

5. Agreed.
I'm not sure what's out there in terms of direct action in this case...but best of luck.

3. Maybe post in GD?
More serious types in there, might have some more info for you. Also you may need to give some more info yourself. Sorry you are going through something liek this. Devastating.
