Change.org has posted a petition, created by the Action Committee for Women in Prison,  addressed to Governor John Lynch of New Hampshire.

Please visit and sign this petition using this link.

Here’s a copy of the text of the petition:

As you know, Pamela Smart has now been imprisoned for twenty (20) years. She is innocent. Her sentence of life without the possibility of parole is cruel and unusual in light of the fact that the admitted murderers of her husband, Gregg Smart, will soon be released. The state of New Hampshire has chosen to forgive those who were present, admitted their guilt, and then blamed her in order to later reclaim their lives.

Hers was the most sensationalized televised trial in New Hampshire history with gavel to gavel coverage. 1200 newspaper articles screamed her guilt during the proceedings. Yet, her jury was not sequestered.  Nor was the trial delayed until the publicity and passion died down. Nor was the trial moved to another, more neutral venue, away from the small inflamed community where the murder was committed. The signatories below believe that Pamela Smart’s right to a fair trial was violated in that courtroom.

Governor Lynch, you have the power to right this terrible wrong. Please consider a sentence reduction, commutation or parole for this individual who has truly given of herself to others while unjustly imprisoned for these twenty (20) years.
