About ten days ago, I asked people to read about Robert Gattis’ case and to consider signing a petition asking the Delaware Board of Pardons to recommend that his death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment. Here’s an important update:
The Delaware Board of Pardons is recommending that Gov. Jack Markell grant clemency to a man facing execution this week for killing his former girlfriend.
[…]
A person with direct knowledge of the decision, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision hadn’t been released, said the board voted in favor of commutation. However, Markell has the final word.
The same petition that went to the Board of Pardons will now go to him so you needn’t sign again (though you can, of course, still pass this information along).
If you haven’t yet signed, more information about the Gattis case and the petition itself can be found here.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxwmtwQQLj1qzy2emo1_500.jpg)
