Kerry Lyn Dalton: why we work to exonerate her

It's a blessing to be with Kerry on Christmas Day. 

We pray for peace and joy to the women on the Row in Chowchilla. 

We pray for love and blessings to touch all who are condemned here in the U.S.A., and for comfort and strength to their loved ones.

For those who don't have time to read through the abundant information and facts on this blog :  
We believe in Kerry Lyn's INNOCENCE. Ms. May was never even proven deceased. There is absolutely NO physical evidence that Ms. May was killed , was harmed, or there was any crime against her associated with Kerry and the other 3 co-defendants. To this day there are no forensics to evaluate, no forensics to prove - or disprove the case. No body, no blood, no weapon(s), no crime scene. Only a missing person's report filed at the request of the prosecutor's team. Ms. May was not declared deceased even DURING THE TRIAL.

So how can any one "re-create" the "crime scene" or act out the alleged murder without any forensics? How could that scene in the series be true and leave no evidence behind?
When you watch the Deadly Women episode you are watching the prosecutor and lead investigator's "story". If you were to read the trial you would learn it is NOT the same story they passed along to the show's writers. Even then, how can their version leave behind no evidence? Wouldn't the expert law enforcement investigators out-smart a bunch of meth addicts? (It is a fact that everyone involved at the trailer scene was an addict.) 

The case began July 1988, when Ms. May allegedly went missing; the record shows only law enforcement thought she was missing when they requested a CPS worker to call in a missing person report. So it is untrue when Dusek says Ms. Baker came to them.   
All claims that Kerry confessed were entered into court by way of hearsay; someone saying someone else told them something. NEVER did Kerry Lyn confess to anyone, at any time, check the records. 
That show is meant to inflame the viewers, it sensationalizes serious life occurrences for entertainment - fear driven entertainment. Mr, Dusek and Mr. Cooksey outright lied in that video for Deadly Women, I was at the trial, I know the case, I have the transcripts and the discovery.
Kerry Lyn's appeal has been held up for over 20 years - her 1st level appeal has not been judged yet - why? Because they do not want the truth to come out. 
That is why I have this blog, that is why I will not quit until Kerry is exonerated. I have the facts in my possession, I work to share them for Kerry's sake and for the many, many others who need our system fixed. What would you do if you KNEW your loved one was innocent on Death Row? I hope you would fight for their freedom.

California presented Death Row inmates a copy of new list of execution drugs

Photo by Brian Baer

The day it was published, Nov. 6 2015, Sacramento sent representatives to San Quentin and Central CA Women's Facility to present each Condemned with their own copy of the 149 page Notice of Change to Regulations, Title 15. This section (3349.0 - 3349.9) deals with executions, which have not occurred in California since 2006, they have been at a standstill, basically waiting for better drugs to use.
The effective date is to be determined. This fact was not made clear to those on the Rows, and a suicide watch was implemented.

The proposed regulation gives details on the protocol once a condemned person is scheduled for execution, from where they will be housed, to who will stand watch over them, their last meal, and which new drugs the prison has a choice of.
California may be ready to try a single drug "cocktail" to kill their citizens with, the choices are ; Amobarbital, Pentobarbital, Secobarbital, Thiopental. "The San Quentin Warden shall determine which chemical shall be utilized to perform the execution," (p. 11, Subchapter 4. General Institution Regulations. 3349. Method of Execution.) 
The condemned do have a choice of ways to go; either lethal injection strapped to a table, or lethal gas alone in a chamber.  Dan Morain stated it well, "... death at the hands of the People for crimes against the People, in full view of strangers, is most ignoble." [Witness to the Execution: A Macabre, Surreal Event
April 22, 1992|DAN MORAIN | TIMES STAFF WRITER]

An article in the Sacramento Bee said, “The newest regulations are the latest attempt by the state to resume executions and come as the result of a lawsuit filed last year by the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation on behalf of family members of murder victims." They quoted Kent Scheidegger, of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation in Sacramento, a pro-death penalty organization, "This sets in motion the process by which we can actually resume executions in California,”  “I think it’s going to happen. I am very optimistic.”[Will California begin executions again under new method? Christopher Cadelago and Sam Stanton]

There are about 16 men in line for execution, one is Kevin Cooper. Judge William Fletcher published 101 page dissent when the 9th Circuit turned down Cooper's appeal. Judge Fletcher stated that they have evidence the prosecutor and law enforcement falsified and destroyed evidence in Cooper's case, among other major issues in the case. 

Further progress towards resuming State killings in CA occurred Nov. 12, 2015:

“In a unanimous ruling, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a federal judge's sweeping decision last year finding California's death penalty system unconstitutional because of decades-long delays in the handling of death row inmates' appeals.” [California death penalty: legal obstacle to executions removed By Howard Mintz]


The last execution in CA, Jan. 17, 2006 :

Clarence Ray Allen, of Choctaw heritage, was legally killed by lethal chemicals a short time after his 76th birthday, the second oldest person executed by the U.S. after 1776. Mr. Allen was also disabled, "Allen, who turns 76 on Jan. 16, uses a wheel chair. An advanced case of diabetes has left him legally blind."  [After Williams, a new dilemma for governor / Next: Gravely ill and blind man, 75, scheduled to die. Jim Doyle, Chronicle Staff Writer, December 14, 2005]
 "Allen received the first of three lethal injections at 12:20 a.m. He then was given an extra dose of potassium chloride, the lethal chemical that stops the heart, at 12:35 a.m.," [By Stephen Smith AP January, 2006. Clarence Allen, 76, Executed]

Kerry Lyn Dalton— Nebraska Repeals The Death Penalty!

We want to bring her home before 2015 is over!

Nebraska Repeals the Death Penalty Today!






As I lay back in a dental chair this afternoon, voices
debating who should be killed, and who should not kill, filled my left ear. The
Nebraska Senate would soon be voting whether or not to override the governor’s
veto of their approval to repeal the death penalty.










Bright overhead lights were blurring the figure looming over
me as she gently said “You’ll feel a little pinch.”










 I focused my eyes to
see the syringe coming at me clearly. It struck me how much alike the dental
chair was to an execution table. Our executions are orchestrated quite like a
visit to the dentist; sterile syringes and all.










No matter how we dress it up, it’s still comes out the same;
our country still practices killing to prove that killing is wrong.


















For that moment I closed my eyes and made myself imagine
what it might be like to be strapped onto an execution table – waiting to be
killed, listening to the bustle of those doing their job, knowing an audience
would watch silently as life was drained from my body. Suddenly it felt too
real in that dental chair listening to the angry voices flood my ear describing
bloody murders, passionate statements for compassion, or dull voices asking for
justice.










Which side knew what justice meant?










“How’s that feeling?” the dentist sat close on my right
side.












“aam yus fi,” was all I could mutter with a mouthful of
rubber stretched across my teeth.








Then the drill began so I turned up the sound on my phone
and focused on the debate.










Senator Ernie Chambers lead the discussion to override the
governor’s veto of the Nebraska legislative approval to abolish the death
penalty. Repeal was approved with a two-thirds vote on three occasions before
going to governor Pete Ricketts’ desk. He promised he would veto it – and he
did so promptly.










Today after over 2 hours of senate testimonies the vote was
30 to 19 in favor of repeal of Capital Punishment. They had what it took to
override the veto.










The facts shared in support of repeal covered the very real possibility
of executing the innocent; 152 people have been exonerated from U.S. death rows
since 1973, the arbitrariness of its use, the disproportionate racial representation,
the much higher cost than life without parole (LWOP), there is no data supporting
it provides deterrence, and the fact we know the system is fallible and humans
are fallible. Examples were given of cases where blatant misconduct lead to
wrongful convictions.

)










The counter statements offered to uphold the death penalty
were in regards to retribution, honoring the governor’s decision, and religion
demanding the death penalty.












Words from Genesis to the book of Romans, even the passages
leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus, and references to Christianity were
included throughout the debate.










At one point a Senator called-out Chambers as an atheist and
wondered how then he could support life and why should they take his opinion seriously.











Another interesting point was made by a Senator who reminded
us who the other countries are that kill their own citizens; Iraq, Iran, North
Korea, Saudi Arabia. 










There are 142 countries which have abolished the death
penalty. This Senator’s point was no one should kill, and especially not the
state.










 When all was said and
done, just after 2:00 pm Pacific time (4:00 pm in Nebraska) the vote was called
and the death penalty was taken off the table.










This is the 19th state to abolish the death
penalty. How about Washington becoming the 20th?
