Have you read Bob Herbert's column about Gary Tyler?
Edited on Thu Feb-08-07 01:23 PM by redwitch
I posted last night about a terrible injustice that has been done to an innocent man. I have been kicking the thread since then but have gotten just 3 responses from DUers. How do I get people to care about the 32 year incarceration of an innocent man? Come on DU, get to work. Read Mr. Herbert's columns about Gary and you will understand the urgency.


www.freegarytyler.com sign the petition, kick and recommend PLEASE?

2. thank you!
It is an awful thing. My husband is working with Joe Allen to shed light on this travesty. Joe got Bob Herbert to write the articles about Gary and we are hoping there will be pressure brought to bear for his release.

5. You need to start a thread with Herbert's name in it; he has mucho
credibility on DU. I hope these efforts do some good; what a travesty.

3. I tried to sign. Kept getting an error message.
This is disgusting, but not surprising considering the legal system in this country.

8. I tried to sign it...
but they don't accept it if you don't have a US zip code. I'll see if Amnesty International (to which I belong) has a mechanism for non-Americans to express their views on this.
