Larry has a beautiful soul. What a cruel way to crush him. If I could travel to Texas, I would be outside the Governor's mansion protesting this shocking barbaric system called American justice. Texas is a leader in state sanctioned murder and this is nothing to be proud of. Larry is a poet and an artist and has also co-written a play that was performed in London. He has totally reformed himself and should be given the chance in the free world to show the value of his life to society. My wife and I love him as a brother and have shared some of his torment with him through our contact with him. He has made a difference to our lives and to those of our friends we have shared his poetry with. We live in a country where there is no capital punishment and we hope the Governor will save Larry from this inhumane punishment.
