Letter to Governor

Dear governor,


I know that you may not see or read this because of your busy schedule as mayor but I have an opinion about the situation with Jefferson and his death role case.  My name is Jackson Smith. I am a veterinarian and I own a hospital downtown.  I am 24 years old, married to Yasmine Smith and we have 2 children.  I attended Tuskegee University where I earned my veterinary medicine degree.  I was born in Mobile, Alabama and attended B.C. Rain High School.


I met Jefferson at Tuskegee on my way to my class of the semester. I did not know where I was going until he passed by me and asked if I needed help.  We became good friends through the years we attended Tuskegee and had a lot of fun together.  Unfortunately because he was there longer than i had, he graduated before I did we lost communication with one another.


A few years later in saw on TV that Jefferson was being convincted of a triple homicide.  I saw that the verdict was guilty and he was put on death role.  In my opinion is don't think he should be killed. I know Jefferson and I know he wouldn't kill anyone, he may have a temper but I know he wouldn't hurt anyone.  Maybe he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Personally I do not believe in the death penalty because that is like playing God because you are taking someone off this earth.  Jefferson is a nice guy and I know that he would not have killed three people.
