Stop the Execution of Benjamin Ritchie in Indiana

Governor Mike Braun

An execution date has been set for Indiana death row prisoner Benjamin Ritchie on May 20, 2025 for the 2000 murder of William Toney.

While the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions, Indiana is out of step with national trends. In late 2024, Indiana performed its 1st execution in 15 years, and continues to schedule more execution dates.

Please sign the petition asking Governor Braun to do everything within his power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.

From: [Your Name]

We are writing to ask that you to stop the upcoming execution of Benjamin Ritchie on May 20, 2025 for the 2000 murder of William Toney.

While we recognize the gravity of his crime, we believe that the death penalty is not an appropriate punishment in this case.

Furthermore, while the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions, Indiana is out of step with national trends. In late 2024, Indiana performed its 1st execution in 15 years, and continues to schedule more execution dates.

We, the undersigned, ask that you do everything within your power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.

Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.
