Kerry Lyn Dalton Deserves Her Appeal

Update on Kerry Lyn's status:

The California Supreme Court did NOT schedule Kerry for either September or October hearings. We are now focusing on gaining Kerry Lyn her Oral Arguments on her Direct Appeal for this November, 2018.

After 23 years it is way over due. The Direct Appeal brief was finalized June 2009. The CA Supreme Court finally reviewed it and informed Kerry they were ready to schedule her Oral Argument January 2018, they told her it would be scheduled within 90 days.

We are waiting.

Please continue to write the Supreme Court, and the other CA authorities to encourage this hearing. It is simply Kerry's constitutional right to be heard, she is not asking for anything more.

As always, write me, here at the blog, ask anything you want to understand further.

Thank you all for your continued support and working for a just system!

Kerry Lyn Dalton Letter Campaign

Kerry Lyn Dalton deserves her constitutional rights the same as every other U.S. citizen.
Due process is guaranteed to all to insure a just and balanced system.

Ms. Dalton was sentenced to death May 1995 - it has been 23 years since, and she has yet to receive a ruling on her Direct Appeal (the Direct Appeal/Automatic Appeal is the first stage of appeals established for condemned persons in order to avoid killing innocents, or handing down excessively harsh judgments.
The average time frame for direct appeal in CA is 12.7 years).

Date:______________________

Dear ___________________________,

I am writing you to seek your advocacy on a very important matter, and a justice issue dear to my own values and ideals.

There is a condemned woman in California who has been living on death row since June 1995, and has never had her direct appeal ruled on. That is 23 years without the first step of the system moving forward.

My concern is that her constitutional rights to due process are being grossly violated. It is bad enough we have the right in California to kill fellow citizens without adding the cruelty of the process to be drawn out to this unreasonable period of time.

This case has been waiting to be scheduled for Oral Arguments since February 2018. I understand the first week of September 2018 will be the earliest dates the case can be scheduled for a hearing. I am writing in earnest to urge you to schedule the case of Kerry Lyn Dalton on the docket for this coming September. She has waited too long for her direct appeal. Our system must finish what they started;
re-checking the findings of lower courts as our constitution has provided for in order to protect individuals from mistakes, false findings, and even corruption.

I have serious doubts about Ms. Dalton’s guilt. This case is filled with contradictions, poor rulings, and NO physical evidence to back up the only eye-witness, who was a co-defendant taking a plea deal.

I implore your advocacy in upholding our country’s democratic ideals that define justice for all through an assurance of due process.

Please see that the Dalton case is set for oral arguments as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

_______________________________

OSPD Finally Speaks Out on Behalf of Kerry Lyn Dalton

Sheryl Baker Testimony

Untrustworthy co-defendant (Sheryl Ann Baker) testimony was used to convict Kerry.

The co-defendant took a plea deal that relied on her performance and the extent of Kerry's conviction.

This co-defendant was tampered with prior to the trial;

Sheryl Ann Baker was removed from Las Colinas Women's Facility (local San Diego Jail) and given Sodium Amytal to "enhance" her memories. Under the influence of such barbiturates a person is highly susceptible to suggestion. Any suggestions would become "memories." This procedure was carried out secretly, the defense was unaware Ms. Baker's testimony had been tampered with before the trial, they only learned about it years after Kerry was convicted and sentenced to death.

[A co-defendant's testimony must be corroborated. No one, and no physical evidence corroborated Ms. Baker's story. There was and still is NO physical evidence in this case. All other testimony about the alleged happenings that weekend were hearsay.]
