Texas Set to Execute...
Melendez’s case is alarming because he has a strong innocence claim. His case is surrounded by evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, conflicting witnesses, and undeniable facts which point to his innocence. Perhaps most compelling, is the fact that Gracie Jett, mother of victim Michael Sanders, is convinced that Melendez did not murder her son.
The National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty has more information and draft letters available to send to the Governor and Board of Pardons and Paroles, requesting commutation.
