Appello urgente presentato dalla Comunit� di Sant’Egidio
per salvare la vita di Gregory L. Wilson,
condannato a morte
Signor Governatore,
Desidero esprimere la mia profonda preoccupazione in merito alla sentenza che ha condannato a morte il sig. Gregory Wilson, in seguito ad un processo in cui non venne difeso in maniera adeguata e non si tenne conto delle perizie mediche che ne attestavano la malattia mentale.
Desidero nel contempo esprimere tutta la mia vicinanza e fraterna solidariet� ai familiari di Debora Pooley, che hanno molto sofferto ed ancor oggi soffrono a causa di questo orrendo crimine.
Rispettosamente La esorto ad intervenire affinch� sia scongiurata tale crudele e disumana punizione e l’esecuzione venga almeno per il momento rinviata.

Urgent appeal brought out by the Community of Sant’Egidio
to save the life of Gregory Wilson,
sentenced to death
Dear Governor,
I am writing to express my deep concern over a ruling that sentenced to death Mr. Gregory Wilson, even though his evident mental retard and an inadequate legal defence during the trial he underwent.
In the meanwhile I want to express my enduring sorrow and my solidarity to the family of Deborah Pooley, who suffered so much because of this horrible crime.
I implore you to intervene on his behalf in order to prevent this cruel and inhuman punishment from being meted out against him. We implore you to ensure that this cruel and inhuman sentence is not carried out.
We urge you to intervene on his behalf to prevent this cruel and inhuman punishment from being meted out against him. We implore you to ensure that this cruel and inhuman sentence is not carried out and the execution is at least stayed, at least until his claim can be fully considered.
Respectfully Yours
