Dear Governor Brown:
After reading material on Patricia Wright, I have serious concerns regarding her innocence, but this letter is a plea for mercy. Cancer has taken Ms. Wright’s vital organs including a vital part of her womanhood. My purpose in writing to you is to ask that you use the power of your office to grant her clemency. I understand from those who have been fighting for her release that your office has the right to grant her clemency without going through the Board of Parole Hearings or the Supreme Court.
Te family also understands that given her sentence, Patricia does not qualify for compassionate release, but that it is within your power to grant Ms. Wright a pardon, clemency or you can commute her sentence of life without the possibility of parole to life and then be in a position to grant a compassionate release. Cancer cells have invaded Patricia Wright’s body such that each day she loses her hold on life. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE.
With so little life left in her, Patricia longs to be with her children for the few months she has left.
She must not be allowed to die in prison. Please consider Patricia Wright, her five children and her large family when making your decision. The pain they are suffering due to her advanced stage of cancer has become all the more unbearable because they are unable to be with each other at this difficult stage of her life.
Sincerely,
For more information contact
