Targeted Individual due for execution unless we draw worldwide attention

A visit with Linda Carty -
British grandmother on death row in Texas
 
 
Linda Carty, is a Targeted Individual due for execution 
SOON unless we can miraculously turn the tide.

Linda worked for the police as an informer, helping
 to convict dangerous drug gangs. It was this secret
 work- which made her many powerful enemies- that 
she believes led to her downfall.
 
In 2001 Linda was convicted of a horrific crime of 
which she has always proclaimed her innocence. 
She was accused of conspiring to murder one of 
her neighbors to abduct her new born baby. Her 
trial however was utterly flawed. The main evidence 
against her was given by the convicted criminals who 
carried out the murder. The flimsiest of evidence was 
allowed to stand because her defense lawyer –one of 
the worst in recent American history- failed to see her 
until two weeks before the trial. He was so disinterested 
in the case he failed to interrogate prosecution witnesses 
and to call to the stand those who would most certainly 
have saved Linda's life.
 
This is a travesty that can happen to defendants who 
are poor and black in Texas. They are the ones who 
end up on Death Row. But in Linda's case the injustice
 was made worse by the fact that her British citizenship 
was never recognized by the Texan authorities. If it had, 
she would have been supported and saved by the British 
government and the British people.
