Kentucky is set to execute Gregory Wilson on September 16, despite glaring flaws in the trial that sent him to death row more than two decades ago. Among other problems, Wilson mostly represented himself at trial, because his lawyer -- whose business card listed his address at a bar -- failed to show up for most of the trial. Wilson's co-defendant, who testified that she helped him commit a robbery and murder, was shuttled down the hallway after court each day to have sex with a judge.

Legal experts have called the case a travesty of justice, and Kentucky is set to make an example of a man who was convicted without adequate representation. Sign the petition below to urge Gov. Steve Beshear to commute Wilson's sentence before Kentucky strikes another blow against the illusion of justice.
