USA: Execution set for Feb 28 despite fair trial concerns

[Tilly lavenas]

Dear Friends

Please send this letter or in your own words about Ivan Cantu, who is scheduled to be executed in two weeks. There are many causes for concern, such as the poor legal representation he received. For the trial and later state habeas corpus review, the lawyers appointed had never met with Ivan to discuss the case, and they filed an appeal without discussing it with him. One witness recanted his testimony in 2022, saying he was not a credible witness due to his drug abuse
