Indiana set to execute man with mental illness

Michael Lambert is scheduled to be executed June 22 despite the fact that experts believe him to be mentally ill.



Perhaps neither the jury nor the justices would have imposed a death sentence had they been made fully aware of all of the mitigating factors in Lambert's case. Much to Lambert's detriment, mitigating evidence pertaining to his mental condition was not presented at trial. Two mental health professionals indicated that Lambert suffers from "organic brain dysfunction, dysthymia, and substance dependence with antisocial and dependent personality features."



The execution of the mentally ill is a deplorable violation of international human rights standards.



Act now by faxing Gov. Mitch Daniels asking him to grant clemency for Michael Lambert!
