Why This Is Important

We, the undersigned, together with the family and friends of Mark A. Brown, urge Governor Strickland to commute Brown's death sentence.

We believe Mr. Brown was denied a fair trial on the basis of:

An instruction following an impasse during the penalty phase deliberations, coerced the jury into a recommending a death penalty verdict.

Introduction of "other acts" as evidence that were not necessary made the trial prejudiced against him.

Using redundant and inflammatory evidence during the consideration of mitigating facts during the penalty determination phase of the trial.

We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge Governor Strickland to commute the sentence of Mark Brown to life without parole.
