For more than 30 years later, Thomas Overton has maintained that they have the wrong man. He may be right. The only evidence used to convict him may have been planted, and his case is marred by questionable forensic practices. DNA that could identify other perpetrators remains untested. The sheriff department's chief serologist was a veterinarian who stored evidence in his personal refrigerator and even brought evidence to a psychic. Meanwhile, fingerprints recovered from the scene did not match Thomas. Most alarmingly hairs found on the tape used to bind the victims have yet to undergo modern DNA testing. Thomas has spent three decades seeking answers. Florida should not execute him while critical evidence that could establish his innocence remains unexamined. With 30 people already exonerated from death row, Florida cannot afford another irreversible mistake. Please contact Governor Ron DeSantis and demand that he stop Thomas Overton's execution and allow an opportunity for the DNA evidence to be tested. If not, the truth will be lost forever and no one will have the closure this execution attempts to bring. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-governor-desantis-to-stop-the-execution-of-thomas-overton
