URGENT! TAKE ACTION!
Mike Lambrix of Florida is scheduled to be executed
Thursday, October 5th at 6:00PM.
He has been on Death Row for 33 years.
Please contact Florida Gov. Rick Scott and ask him to halt the execution of Michael Lambrix and grant a new clemency hearing. Phone: 850-488-7146 (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm ET) or rick.scott@eog.myflorida.com
- Mike’s only clemency hearing was 30 years ago
- Mike has a case for innocence and maintains he acted in self-defense
- He twice refused offers to plead guilty in exchange for a prison sentence - had he done so he would have been freed years ago
- Key witness testimony has now been tainted or recanted
- The purpose of a Clemency Board is to intervene in cases like this where the courts are restricted due to “procedural bar” on allowing a hearing on his evidence of self-defense and other late-discovered evidence of innocence
- His jury votes for death were not unanimous. This sentencing scheme has since been ruled unconstitutional and is now unlawful
- Mike is an honorably discharged, disabled Army veteran.

When you call or write, please be sure to give your name and where you live. If you are not a Floridian, provide a connection (i.e., visit Florida, have friends/family there, want to move there someday, etc). The staffer answering phones will be very nice and courteous. They won't question or challenge you. They simply record the issues that people are calling for and make a tally to give to the Governor.
That's why it is so important for your view to be known. You can simply say: "Please urge Governor Scott to halt the execution of Michael Lambrix and grant him a new clemency hearing." If you like you can add any of the reasons listed above.
Please share this message with others. Only with your help can the work be done and progress made.
