Please save Patrick Henry Murphy Jr. from imminent execution on March.28.2019.

Dear Governor of Texas and Ladies and Gentlemen in Texas Board of Pardon and Parole,

We respectfully ask for your mercy to stop execution of Patrick Henry Murphy Jr.scheduled on March.28.2019.

Patrick Henry Murphy Jr.was convicted under Law of Parties.
On Dec.13.2000,only 15 months before he would be eligible for parole.Seven of them,later called “Texas Seven”
While on escaping from prison,They committed a few robbery.
During robbery on Sporting Goods store in Irving,Texas,Police officer Aubrey Hawkins was shot to death.
Patrick Murphy was convicted and sentenced to death for the death of officer Hawkins.
Patrick Murphy didn’t want to participate robbery.
So he was assigned as a lookout,and a getaway driver,Didn’t see what actually happened,Met rest of them later nearby apartment complex.
It was then he heard what happened.
Patrick Murphy was convicted for a crime he only heard from others.He was even didn’t drive to crime scene.Not only he didn’t have intentions to harm peace officer,he had no idea what was happening.

Patrick Murphy and Randy Halprin,Who are only two surviving so-called “Texas Seven”members both have proof they didn’t shoot or did any harm for officer Hawkins.
Patrick was away from the crime scene,and Randy’s gun was not fired.
George Rivas and Donald Newbury had many robberies offenses before.No one was physically harmed in their prior offenses.
Other people,believed them.
No one should be harmed.

Patrick Henry Murphy Jr. was born in Oct.3.1961 between Patrick Henry Murphy Sr.and Carol Goodman.
His mother was still in high school.
There was no stable home or adult role model for Patrick.
Instead,Adults around him kept sexually abused him since he was 4 years old.
So many adults who are responsible for children neglected and in many occations,sexually abused him.He couldn’t get counseling he needed.
These abuse lead him have a condition called “complex PTSD”.
Which researchers concluded distinct from, but similar to PTSD.
Complex PTSD sufferers are endured prolonged abuse as a child,by adult,while his/her brain is still developing.

At a Capital Murder trial in 2003,Psyciatrist hired as a mitigation expert by trial lawyer didn’t diagnosed Patrick as PTSD.
When ordinary people like us talk about “Mitigation”,
It is to know whether defendant is “worst of worst” or not.
Without PTSD diagnosis,it’s hard to understand why he escaped when he had only 15 months until eligible for parole.
Also It’s hard to understand why he abused drugs since he was young,to numb his emotional pain.

We Patrick’s friend have been known this sweet funny man.for example,one of us lost both parents and her niece went through leukemia.Patrick have been supportive whole time.We’re so grateful for him.
We hope you know there is a man learned many things and tamed his emotional pain,and tends other people’s emotional pain,kept trying to be a better man in prison,behind paperworks.
Despite of so many betrayal from adults when he was a little kid,now he can help other people from prison.

He commited crime,he belong to prison.but he doesn’t deserve death penalty.
We ask your mercy for Patrick Murphy.
In structured environment,namely prison,he can live quiet and never bother anyone.

Most of all,again,Patrick Murphy never harmed officer Hawkins.
