SIGN ONLINE PETITION ASKING GOV. BESHEAR TO COMMUTE THE SENTENCE OF MARCO CHAPMAN:

Gov. Beshear, Please Grant Chapman Clemency

New: November 4 - Marco Chapman, who is committing "suicide by court" has an execution date of November 21, 2008. A Marco Chapman page, reached by clicking on his name, will feature articles about him and his execution. Marco Chapman refused a jury trial and convinced a judge to sentence him to death for the murders of Cody and Chelbi Sharon, children of  whom he raped and brutally stabbed. A front page article in the November issue of Abolition Now! features his story and urges readers to contact Gov. Steve Beshear and ask him to commute Marco Chapman's sentence, rather than allow him to manipulate the State into assisting the suicide he has desired for years. A Statement of the Case, available on the Marco Chapman page, summarizes his life and indicates the depth of his mental illness.
