To the Governor of the State of Georgia /
President of the United States of America.

Petition on behalf of William David Riley.

We the undermentioned wish to support the petition on behalf of William David Riley. The circumstances of the case are:-

Mr. Riley was convicted of causing the death of his three children by arson. He was initially questioned on the basis that he was not a suspect. The police told him that they had hard evidence of arson and if he would confess they would help him. Under questioning he broke down and signed whatever was put in front of him. With the confession he was put on trial and it took the jury forty-two minutes to convict him. He was sentenced to death by lethal injection.
He has now been in prison for over four years.
Please press the Death Row Speaks banner to read more information on Mr. Riley's case and profile.

The grounds for this petition are:-

(1) The Fire Marshal's report said there was no evidence of arson.
(2) The basis for his conviction was his own confession which
was obtained under very dubious circumstances.
(3) His interrogation was carried out while he was still traumatised.
(4) During this period he was not accorded the customary phone call.
(5) During this period he was not provided with legal counsel.

We the petitioners plead for Mr. Riley to be granted one of the following:-

(1) A retrial with a credible defence and fair presentation of evidence.
(2) A pardon based on the probability that without the confession there would not have been a conviction.
(3) Executive clemency on the grounds that the foregoing does not add up to Mr. Riley having had a fair trial.

Mr. Riley's details are:
