We need you at the Douglas County District Court House next week to stand with Bob Autobee against the death penalty. Now is your chance to do something concrete to help end this barbaric practice in Colorado! Here are the details: WHAT: Jury selection is to begin on the retrial of Edward Montour, whose death sentence was overturned last year. He faces retrial for the murder of Bob Autobee’s son, Eric. WHEN: Bob Autobee, CADP, and our supporters will be gathering outside the courthouse from 8:00-8:30am and from 1:00-1:30pm on Monday, January 6th, Wednesday, January 8th, Thursday, January 9th, and Friday, January 10th. We will be picketing with signs asking DA Brauchler not to seek the death penalty. WHERE: Douglas County Courthouse 4000 Justice Way Ste. 2009 WHY: To stand with Bob Autobee and to show the Coloradans do not want the death penalty. Bob has come to forgive his son’s killer and would rather see public funds directed to paying prison guards better wages and implementing measures to keep prison workers safe. His faith in God led him to grapple with his grief and come to direct his energy toward seeking repeal of the death penalty rather than retribution. The Denver Post will be at the courthouse on Monday taking photos, so we’d like to have a large showing. CADP will be making some signs, but feel free to make your own. Below are some suggested slogans. We’re asking that you direct your slogans to District Attorney Brauchler. 1. DA Brauchler, don’t kill it is ungodlike. From, the father of the son that was killed. The Death Penalty is Wrong, Sincerely, the Father of the Son who was killed 3. The DA’s Office supports the Lynch Mob 4. DA Brauchler is about hate, not justice, signed Father for Life 5. DA Brauchler my son wouldn’t want the Death Penalty imposed in his name. Please stop. 6. DA Brauchler make the prisons safe by putting the $$ into reforming the system, not into the Please take the time on Monday morning to start your week off standing for justice! And invite a friend or co-worker to join you. (If you are not able to join us on Monday, you can email a comment to DA Brauchler using his online comment form stating you think he should not seek the death penalty in Eduard Montour’s retrial). I look forward to seeing you there! Coloradans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty Foundation PS-Don’t miss this opportunity to stand with the father of a murder victim in saying that the death penalty is wrong. Be there!
