At the start of 2025, Gov. Kay Ivey granted Rocky Myers clemency. Rocky now sits in prison, serving life without parole, for a crime he did not commit.

Renewed efforts to free Rocky Myers have ensued, calling on the Morgan County District Attorney to review all of the constitutional concerns in Rocky's case. Rocky's attorneys have filed a 'Rule 32 Petition' and we must urge DA Scott Anderson to NOT oppose this petition so that the court may decide whether Rocky's case deserves a new trial.

"Hello, my name is [your name], and I respectfully ask District Attorney Anderson not to oppose review of the serious issues raised in Rocky Myers’ case.

Mr. Myers spent more than 30 years on Alabama’s death row before his sentence was commuted in 2025. His legal team has now filed a Rule 32 petition asking the court to examine significant concerns about the fairness of his trial.

I respectfully ask that the District Attorney’s office allow this review to move forward so the court can fully consider the evidence.

Thank you for taking my message."

Rocky Myers, a Black man, was convicted by a nearly all-white jury which sentenced him to life without the possibility of parole for the murder of his white neighbor. The trial judge overrode their decision and imposed a death sentence—a practice now outlawed in Alabama. No evidence linked him to the murder of which he was convicted, except for a video-recorder stolen from the victim, which he maintains he had found abandoned in the street. Key testimonies against him were tainted by inconsistencies and allegations of police pressure, with one later recanted as untrue.

At age 11, Rocky Myers was diagnosed with an intellectual disability and reads at primary school level. His assigned lawyer for post-conviction appeals abandoned his case without notice, making him miss key deadlines for judicial appeals. The courts relied primarily on IQ tests, a standard which the US Supreme Court found to be inadequate in 2014, to reject his request for a deadline extension submitted on the grounds that he is a person with an intellectual disability.

The vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions, Alabama has continued to go against trend by carrying on with scheduled execution dates.  

Alabama must delay all executions to allow for a thorough study of its capital punishment process and consider the serious objections raised as to how it administers the death penalty.  Alabama has repeatedly shown that it is not capable of carrying out executions - amounting to cruel punishment and the torture of prisoners.

Please take action and sign the petition to stop this execution.
