PERFECT JUSTICE ??

FORMER OKLAHOMA CITY FORENSIC CHEMIST JOYCE GILCHRIST'S ANALYSIS AND TESTIMONY SENT AT LEAST ONE INNOCENT PERSON TO DEATH ROW

+Defense Attorney Files Suit to Investigate if an Innocent Man was Executed
+Alfred Brian Mitchell's Death Sentence Overturned - Re-sentencing Ordered

Gilchrist has been repeatedly accused of false testimony and shoddy results in her work during the past 15 years. She has been involved in approximately 3,000 cases, including at least 23 cases where defendants were eventually sentenced to death and have either been executed or remain on death row. 11 of those people were executed during the past two years, including Marilyn Plantz and Randall Cannon who was executed on July 23rd - despite strong doubts as to his guilt because of Joyce Gilchrist's testimony.

Oklahoma County District Attorney Robert Macy, who often relied on testimony from Gilchrist, announced his resignation effective June 30, 2001

A 101-page report about the death penalty in Oklahoma was released by Amnesty International. A copy of the report is available on its web site. http://web.amnesty.org/ai.nsf/Index/AMR510552001?OpenDocument&of=COUNTRIES/USA

Both Gilchrist and Macy are cited in the Amnesty International report. (4/30/01)

Read the May 1, 2001 CNN report on the Joyce Gilchrist investigation, titled "FBI reviewing cases forensic expert handled". http://www.cnn.com/2001/LAW/05/01/oklahoma.evidence/index.html

Read the July 18, 2001, Shawnee News-Star article, Three death row cases due review about the ongoing investigation into death sentences that may have resulted from Joyce Gilchrist's testimony. http://www.news-star.com/stories/071801/new_row.shtml

SO WHEN WILL JOYCE GILCHRIST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?
OR WILL SHE?

We, as members of an increasingly concerned public, would like it known that we do not want innocent people executed in our name. Nor do we believe that professionals such as Joyce Gilchrist or Joan Wood (see Florida) should be exempt from punishment. False and inaccurate testimony deliberately given with the express purpose of removing another's Right to Life is premeditated MURDER as much as picking up a gun or knife.

We ask that you join us in expressing your concern and requesting that Joyce Gilchrist be held as accountable in a Court of Law as much as any other she has placed in that position.

    • This lady should be sent to death row herself to face the daily hell of wondering if today will be her last day on earth. She should face the same life she commited these people to. She was paid to help kill people. She herself is a murderer and needs to be treated as one.

    • Since when did deception become an acceptable facet to the judicial system. Her actions are criminal. To maliciously give false testimony and to present evidence that is contrary to the facts to lead a man to his death is simply evil. And if the state of Oklahoma stands by and allows this to happen there is no hope at all. Governor Keating, do the right thing.
