Letter to Governor Press Conference

Press conference on June 21, 2007 calling on the Governor to free Paul House after more than 22 years on Tennessee's death row! Rep. Turner was joined by Joyce House, Paul's mother, a representative of Murder Victim's Families for Human Rights, and a number of other members of the Tennessee General Assembly. They will present a letter to Governor Bredesen, signed by over 25 legislators, both Democrat and Republican, abolitionists and death penalty supporters. The point is, Paul House's case transcends the partisan divide, or even the debate about the morality of capital punishment. House has been incarcerated for nearly half of his life for a crime for which the United States Supreme Court says no reasonable jury would convict him!
