Friends,
There is a front-page article in today’s Tampa Bay Times about James Barnes, whom Governor DeSantis is planning to execute today. Here is a link to the story:
Florida death row inmate set to be executed this week claimed he killed more (tampabay.com)
It contains information on his case, and on his interactions with German filmmaker Werner Herzog.
Remember the vigil this afternoon:
– Time: 5:00-6:00 PM on Thursday, August 3
– Location: the northwest corner of Ulmerton Road and 49th Street Northin mid-Pinellas County, a busy intersection near the Pinellas court and jail complex.
– Park in the vacant lot behind Checkers. Signs provided or you can bring your own. Those gathered for the vigil will meet for dinner at a nearby restaurant after the vigil.
– If the execution is stayed, the vigil will be cancelled.
