Christopher Emmett is scheduled to be executed by the state of Virginia on June 13.

Michael Lambert is scheduled for execution on June 15, by the state of Indiana.

Read more about these and the other cases below -- and ACT!

Do Not Execute Christopher Emmett! The state of Virginia should not execute Christopher Emmett for the April 2001 murder of Christopher Langley. Emmett claims ineffective assistance of counsel, since his trial counsel never presented his mental health history to the jury. The Virginia Supreme Court unanimously wrote, ""it is clear that [Emmett's] trial counsel was ineffective."

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Tim Kaine requesting that he stop the execution of Christopher Emmett!

Do Not Execute Michael Lambert! On June 15, Indiana is set to execute Michael Lambert for the December 1990 murder of Officer Gregg Winters. The jury may have been exposed improperly to victim impact evidence, and the defense did no present a fully mental history of Lambert during their mitigation argument. Currently, Lambert is a party in a federal lawsuit challenging the legality of the state's lethal injection protocol.

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Mitch Daniels requesting that Michael Lambert's execution be halted!

Action Alert

Please forward and cross-post this message widely.

Put a halt to North Carolina executions!

30 Members of the General Assembly have asked the Governor to suspend executions immediately until the state can assure its method of lethal injection does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment. In addition, two prisoners have asked the courts to stop their executions because they say there's no guarantee they'll die painlessly. This comes on the heels of a North Carolina Medical Board policy approved last week that forbids the doctor from participating in any way, including the monitoring of an inmate's consciousness. We need your voice heard now. Please call Governor Mike Easley and tell him to suspend these pending executions.
