Case Overview

Family, friends and good people of the world, we urgently need your help to save justice for Nick Ly -- beloved youngest brother, son, cousin, uncle and friend. Please take a moment to SIGN and SHARE this petition to oppose clemency for convicted felony murderer Theodore Douglas Cole. He should be kept in prison to complete his full sentence of life without parole. We are concerned about crime victims rights and safety of our community if he is reinserted back into society. Because of time critical deadline, your signature is greatly needed to stand strong for crime victims rights by August 5, 2018 before the clemency application is reviewed by CA Governor Jerry Brown.

Seventeen years after Nick's murderers were convicted of felony murder with special circumstances and condemned to life without parole, the driver Cole responsible for Nick's death has filed a petition for clemency for commutation of sentence (early release) by Governor Jerry Brown. We believe the wheels of justice had turned so that Nick could rest in peace and should not be undone. Let justice be fully served!

Nick was never given a second chance at life. He was irrevocably robbed of being a son, brother, uncle, father, playing his favorite sport soccer, traveling and so much more. No family should ever have to resuffer the devastating heartache, agony and loss of a murdered loved one because of early release of their perpetrators. Convicted felony murderer Theodore Douglas Cole should stay behind bars for life. Bless you for joining us in fighting for crime victims rights.

Thank you,
The Nick Ly Family
