Reverse Halprin's Death Sentence from Racist/Anti-Semitic Judge!
Texas Board of Pardons & Paroles

UPDATE: Oct 4, 2019: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has issued a stay in this case. Read more here. Please continue to sign this petition for use in the event this stay is overturned by a higher court, or relief is not ultimately granted. Thank you!
A new article. Unless this execution is stopped, Randy Halprin has less than a week to live. He is scheduled to be killed the day following Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement - the holiest day on the Jewish Calendar) next week, on October 10, which also happens to be the World Day Against the Death Penalty.
Randy Halprin was denied relief by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Sept 23, 2019. His next possible stops are the US Supreme Court and the Texas Board of Pardons & Paroles. This petition target has been updated to the Texas Board of Pardons & Paroles.
As we head into the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) and the days between the New Year and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, please keep Randy, his legal team, and everyone concerned with this case in your prayers for wisdom, clarity, and mercy.

NOTE: Unless relief is granted in this case, the addressee of this petition may be adjusted to the next party with decision-making authority and resubmitted to that authority.

Even while it is not disputed that he never killed anyone, the question of Randy Halprin's guilt and culpability in the murder of Irving police officer Aubrey Hawkins is not at issue. Some of us who sign this petition may even support the death penalty in theory. However, we are unified in our belief that the law in Texas and in the United States must be applied without bias. There is no question that the judge who sentenced Randy Halprin to death is a racist and an anti-semite. We urge that you grant a reprieve so that legal efforts to set aside Halprin's conviction and death sentence can be continued. Halprin should be granted a new and fair trial under the jurisdiction of an unbiased court. Thank you.
