Remove Scott Panetti from Death Row

To:  Texas Board of Pardons and Parole

To the Members of the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole:

Scott Louis Panetti (#999-164) has been on Death Row in Huntsville/Livingston, Texas since 1995. His execution date is set for February 5, 2004.

Scott Panetti was incarcerated in county jails while awaiting his trial from 1992-1995. Prior to 1992, there were eleven years of well documented proof of Scott having a mental illness. This mental illness escalated due to improper medical treatment during those initial three years of incarceration. The aforementioned well documented proof of his mental illness was provided but ignored during his trial, at which he was allowed to defend himself in 1995.

Currently, and most importantly, Scott Panetti has developed into an exceptional man of honor. He has become devoted to helping fellow inmates find much needed peace and acceptance of their fate through the word of God. We respectfully implore you to help allow Scott Panetti to continue his dedication to making atonement for his crime by commuting his Death Sentence to Life Imprisonment.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
