Free Gary Tyler!

To: Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana; Larry Clark, Chairman of the Louisiana Board of Pardons; Leonard “Pop” Hataway, Clement Lafleur, Henry “Tank” Powell and Kenneth Jones, members of the Louisiana Board of Pardons

We, the undersigned, believe that Gary Tyler was convicted in 1975 not by facts, but by racism, vengeance and manufactured evidence. Denied a fair trial 32 years ago, imprisoned for life for a crime he did not commit, we call on you to free Gary Tyler now.

Contact Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana here.

Join the 4021 others who have already signed the petition.

In the grand scheme of things I'm sure a matter like this can be resolved with little effort. Let the man go.

Failing to overturn Mr. Tyler's conviction, or at least grant a retrial, is just as egregious a miscarriage of justice as the initial conviction.
Ryan Smith	Twinsburg OH
This is just wrong. Let the man go!

While things can never really be made right, this is the time for the wrongs to stop being committed.

Gary Tyler's case continues to be an ugly stain on the record, reputation and honor of the Louisiana justice system and government. I appeal to your sense of decency, justice and compassion to make a serious rational inquiry into the facts. I am confident that the facts support releasing Gary Tyler. Thank you.

I remeber the Gary Tyler case very well. But I don't understand, even with the conviction, why hasn't he been let out on parole? After all he was a minor back in 1975, and it was his only (so-called) offence. Many have gone to jail in La. for murder and have done far less time.
John Mahon	London London
Please free Gary Tyler and let him live a life that he has not yet been able to live. I hadnt heard of Gary Tyler until i see UB40 in concert but i just would like to say a big thanks to everyone who has signed this petition and UB40.

Free Gary Tyler, he is innocent. I remember this as a little boy I grew up in his neighborhood and went to school next door to where this supposedly happened.

Another example of the iniquities of race in the USA (and so many western countries), this is a chance for Governor Blanco to make right the corruption and hatred of the past.
Edward Bucci	Philadelphia PA
How can this be? How can a man be locked up for so long and his previous trials were ruled unfair as far back as the 80's and still nothing is done. I am a Iraq veteran and the things I see and read, trouble me about this so called nation of ours. The systems are all corrupt as far as i'm concerned or at least until proven wrong, all i can say is pray for Gary Tyler and if you don't believe in prayer lets do something to make his voice and case heard so that maybe more people can take action and maybe even wake us americans up from the Bush coma i seem to be witnessing ever since I came home from the service. REFORM THE PRISON / Law SYSTEM but its all politics and until the next civilian uprising nothing is gonna change in this country.

FREE BROTHER TYLER....LET HIM SEE THE FREEDOM for the years thats left, let him see the HUMANITY that exists
Richie Moran	Portsmouth UK
Once again this case gives the lie to your claim to be the most civilised country in the world.Not only have you falsely convicted a man on the colour of his skin, but 32 years on, having taken the best years of his life, you lack the courage, morality and will to rectify it.As a Black man I call upon you, President Obama to stop avoiding the race issue and right this wrong and at least give Gary Tyler his life back.

this man is innocent it is time you let him free !!

It's not too late to show that the State of Louisiana cares about justice and fundamental fairness. Please free this man, who has been in prison for 32 years for a crime he did not commit. What if your son, husband or you yourself were in Gary's situation - what would you want the Governor, Judge and Board of Pardons to do?

I plead with you that you review the case of Gary Tyler as all evidence pointed against him have been refuted by the eye witnesses that they were coerced by the police to give fake testimony.

That a miscaridge of justice can remain un-addressed in any culture is a tragedy, however I would hope for a little better from a culture purporting to be the vanguard of democracy.

I sympathised about Gary Tyler when i heard the UB40 song in 1980. 29 years later i had no idea he was still in jail. Hasn't he done enough? For the Love of God please set him free.

Gary Tyler should be freed. I believe he is innocent of the crime charged. What else or what other evidence is needed to prove this that has not already been discovered or brought to light.

I think this is simply ridiculous for this to be going on. This judge who presided the case should be fired, and prosecution should be prosecuted, how can you be a judge of someone and have someone to put their right hand on a bible when they come to the witess stand when you are so corrupt, it is just a disgrace to the "USA" I think the crimminal justice system is made to ruin the lives of all black citizens i do not trust white people nor do i trust law inforcement officers, or the crimminal justice system because prosecuters are evil people, and so are judges, no one on this earth has the right to say who should live or who should die, that is for the good lord above to decide, because no one on this earth besides God above is perfect, and besides the lawyers, prosecutors, and judges are all "CORRUPT"
Robert Olusanya	Dungarvan Waterford
What can I say but what a joke. Gary Tyler is so obviously not guilty. How can he still be in prison. Obama get you finger out your arse and do something now! What kind of a world do we live in.

THIS CASE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AVOIDED BASED ON THIS MAN'S RACE. HOWEVER HAD THIS SITUATION BEEN REVERSED, EVEN WITH STRONG EVIDENCE NO ONE WOULD EVER HAD BEEN CONVICTED LET ALONE BE LOCKED ALL THESE YEARS. THIS CASE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN OUTRIGHT INJUSTICE TO THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM BUT, NO ONE HAS THE HEART TO ADMIT THAT THEY WERE WRONG.I OFTEN WONDER TODAY WHO WAS IN THE CROWD CAUSING ALL THIS FOOLISHNESS BACK THEN THAT SEE OR TALK TO NOW AND HOW WELL DO THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT.
