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.

| My daughter, who is 12, recently heard the Chumbawamba song "The Ballad of Gary Tyler." She was moved by it, but I was moved by the realization that I have no words to explain to her why a 16 year old boy was put on death row, and now has been jailed for 32 years, for a crime he did not commit. I can say it was racism that sent him to jail, but I have to also say it is racism that is keeping him there. I can try to explain the complicity of elected officials in Louisiana, but how do I explain the complacency of otherwise decent white people all over the U.S. that we accept this gross violation of human rights? Free Gary Tyler! | |

I heard this story sung by Gil Scott Heron, back the late 70's when I was about 17, it sadend me then although I had never looked to it anymore until recently... I have been taken long drive's and I pulled out Gil Scott Heron's Best and listened to this song over and over, and I prayed and asked God to help me remember this name when I get back in the house, so that I can look it up on the computer. God has put Gary Tyler's name on my heart at 2:30AM and I found the story, read it, and went to bed... I woke up again this AM and God has called me to do something now! I from this day forward I will be sending this e-mail to my family and friends with a high demand to sign this petition and we are gonna bring down these walls, I am writing this through the will of GOD, And GOD says "RELEASE HIS SON GARY TYLER" In The Name Of JESUS NAME! May GOD Bless Thank You |

| As a lifelong resident of Destrehan, I am appalled at hearing this story, mostly because I'm hearing it for the first time. The Destrehan that arrested Gary Tyler is not the Destrehan that exists today, but injustice like this cannot go overlooked. This is a travesty in the greatest proportions. | |

| We all know there is a massive injustice with this conviction. The gun that was "found" mysteriously disappeared, if this weapon ever existed there is no forensic evidence to put it in Gary's hand. We all need to petition the President Elect and get him freed. Ask the the white house direct here.http://www.whitehouse.gov/interactive/interact_1.html If enough of us ask who knows? | |
