Gilchrist was fired from her job based on having helped prosecutors secure numerous false convictions by manipulating DNA evidence. Sanchez is a member of the Choctaw Nation, whose members and leaders have expressed opposition to executions. While he was convicted of a crime that occurred off of Choctaw land, Sanchez is facing execution on his Native land, because the Oklahoma State Penitentiary and its execution chamber are on Choctaw territory, without the consent of the Choctaw people, who have repeatedly expressed concerns about executions taking place on their land. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-the-execution-of-anthony-sanchez-in-oklahoma
