Governor Rejects Recommendation for Clemency
November 20, 2009

Thank you to everyone who contacted Governor Perry and urged him to grant clemency to Robert Lee Thompson, who was scheduled to be executed by the State of Texas on November 19, 2009.  We deeply regret to inform you that the Governor has rejected the recommendation of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and declined to commute Thompson's sentence to life in prison. Please pray for the repose of his soul, as well as all involved in the case.
