In March of 1992, Mr. Wilson was convicted and sentenced to death for the May 4, 1991 murder of Carol Lutz.
Several factors in Mr. Wilson’s case history merit executive clemency, principally that the trial court’s explanation of the case’s sole death sentence specification to the trial jury was ruled to be constitutionally erroneous and invalid by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (No. 03-3362 Wilson v. Mitchell, August 15, 2007).
The erroneous trial court instruction allowed the jury to consider the death sentence while being improperly instructed how to consider and weigh the evidence in mitigation when considering the death penalty specification. Wilson is the only person on Ohio ’s Death Row that has not had a jury weigh a valid death sentence specification.
Other mitigating factors include Daniel’s remarkably abusive childhood, his expression of deep regret for and acceptance of responsibility for the pain he caused, and his successful efforts to become a “positive and productive” member of the Ohio prison population as demonstrated by his serving as legal typist and librarian in the death row library as well as a GED tutor.

If you know of people that would prefer to send regular mail letters or make phone calls, please pass on this information for their use.

does anybody know how it went?

I'm sorry I haven't heard yet, but the board
will send its recommendation on clemency to Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland
on May 8.

Received in an email today;

Today the Ohio Parole Board submitted their report to Governor Strickland with a recommendation of 8-0 FOR execution of Daniel Wilson.

Now is the time to stop sending emails to the Clemency Board.

PLEASE send lots of emails to:
Governor Strickland ted.strickland@governor.ohio.gov
AND
Jose Torres jose.torres@governor.ohio.gov

The talking points to address in your emails:

* Dan deserves mercy because he is a changed person

* The Parole Board did not get past the facts of the crime and only gave a small consideration to the mitigating factors

* The Board is stacked against all inmates

* The Board acts like they are judge, jury and executioner

Please get these emails out soon and often!

(I'm not Daniels main support, so if you have any questions just let me know and I can provide an email addy.)

Just received word that Governor Strickland has DENIED clemency for Daniel Wilson and the execution is still scheduled to take place on June 3, 2009.

He still has his appeals with the United States Supreme Court.

Thank you all for your help and keep him in your thoughts!

please let us know if/when you hear anything about the supreme court! I try to keep track, but I've found it's not always all that easy...

Thirty-nine-year-old Daniel Wilson was pronounced dead at 10:33 a.m. Wednesday at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville.

Wilson is the first inmate executed in Ohio since Nov. 19.

Ohio has put 29 men to death since it reinstated the death penalty in 1999.
