from things i have read it looks to me like the courts have a hard time admitting to being wrong they would rather kill a person than admit to being wrong otherwise they would give him a retrial i have no clue how these people sleep at night ---- goodluck from england to william and his family xxxxxxxxx
I would like to say thank you all for your support in signing this petition for my son.God Bless each and everyone of you.Love and caring fills my heart.Thank you again. William's Mom
Remember what I've say to you William; they can take away everything from you but they can't take your mind.

I am not sure if you can sign this petition more than once, but if I could I would sign it a thousand times. Please allow this to be retried FAIRLY!!!!!
instead of getting support and help to come to terms with the death of his children he gets blamed for it and sentanced to death i'm disgusted that these types of things happen in 2005 i sit here reading them and feel so sad by what i read i can't even begin to imagine what these people go through on a daily basis .
i'm 30 years old born and raised in england i came across the death row speaks website and was totally shocked by all i see how can the country do this to it's own people i personally believe that death penalty is murder and cruel and even worse if that person is innocent as william is i wish him all the luck in the world
As Bill's pen pal and sister in christ i believe he is a good person and deserves a new trial.I belive there isn't enough evidence to have a case and hope and prayer the lord God will change the hearts of the people and somehow help him.I am here Bill.FIGHT!
This is an outrage to hear of such sloppiness. William deserves a new trial. He deserves a fair and impartial trial. I hope and pray that he gets a new trial and the truth be told then!
having just read all the facts laid out here, it seems to me and any other person with intelligence that Bill should at least be given another chance to show what really happened that night. don't let there be any more loss of life that will add to these tragic circumstances, they have already suffered more than most families suffer in a lifetime.
The world is a dangerous place to live-not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who dont do anything about it."

What is this zealousness with the USA to convict, convict, convict, without recognition that accidents happen? I thought we gave up throwing people to the lions when the Romans lost power - in modern day terms, the USA is Rome. Nero's well and truly fiddling away while the country is burning down in a blaze of UNSOUND CONVICTIONS. Let's have some sense and recognise that this man deserves a retrial in the least, please.
You know there was no evidence in this case, and the confession was obtained under duress. Mr. Riley was not even provided with counsel at that time. In all fairness, please give this man a retrial.
Havinf William in my life is the most beautiful thing that could happen to me. He´s my best friend, soulmate, partner... I hope this helps him to get the freedem he deserves.
I have been writing to will on death row for almost 3 years, In this time we have become best friends. He has told me about that awful night, and i completly believe his innocence. He deserves a retrial! please give him the chance to have it!
My own son will be removed from death row because the Supreme Court ruled against the death penalty for juveniles. This is the only thing that saved his life. He also was allowed to "confess" without a parent being present or a lawyer. That confession sent him to death row. I hope and pray that William will find a lawyer willing to go the distance to save his life. My son's lawyers were willing to let him be executed rather than be bothered to fight for what they saw as a worthless case. I pray that William will find justice for himself and his family.
I prayerfully ask of you to reconsider the henous crime of killing another human being. The "eye for an eye / tooth for a tooth" mentality is both barbarick and against the inherit diginty which each and every huamn being regardless of his/her crimes possesses. Thank you.
Please sign the petition for my son William.I know he is innocent and justice needs to be served for him.Thank you very much and God Bless you all who sign.
Forty-two minutes to judge the culpability of one person it's very short and fast. If this person is innocent and he receive the lethal injection. It will be a other innocent to be executed.
