Your honor,

Based on ever increasing and alarming news (here and abroad) about wrongful death sentences, we as citizens in the free world are becoming more and more concerned about a justice system which allows such a sentence without any substantial evidence.

Debra Jean Milke was sentenced to death on the uncorroborated statement of a single police officer, claiming in his police report that Debra had supposedly confessed to have wanted her only child killed. His interview with her was neither witnessed, taped or signed by Debra.

According to the records, officer Saldate has a history of falsifying and fabricating so-called confessions as well as having lied to Grand Juries in numerous previous cases. Such police work sheds serious doubt on his credibility. 
Many honest and dedicated police officers who take their profession seriously and
oftentimes have to pay with their own lives in the line of duty, are being ridiculed by the proverbial "bad apple" amongst them. It is also no secret that he needed to solve this case "quickly" to proceed with his own career.

The entire proceedings during Debra Milke's trial do not show any tangible evidence that she had anything to do with the murder of her son and are less than convincing as to her guilt. Thereby alone, her constitutional rights have been gravely violated.

At present, it rests in your hands and on your conscience to at least provide a chance for a new and fair trial. One wrongfully executed person is one too many.

Very respectfully yours,
