USPA NEWS - The State of Texas wanted to execute a man who never killed anyone, but the People, and the Court of Criminal Appeals have spoken. They said NO! And have issued a stay of execution to Jeff Wood, on today, of all days, which happens to be his birthday. So, Happy Birthday Jeff Wood!
A stay of execution for wrongfully convicted Texas man Jeff Wood is cause for celebration by his family and supporters. Months of intense campaigning has paid off for Wood and his family. People all over the world have signed the petition and written letters to the Governor and the Board of Pardons and Paroles on Wood's behalf. Lately many Texas Congressmen have added their voices to the fray along with religious leaders from both Christian and Catholic churches. Activist Terri Been, sister of Jeff Wood says that she is "Ecstatic!", over the stay granted to her brother earlier this afternoon. Danny Wood, Jeff's father told me that "It was the great outpouring of love and prayers that has sustained me throughout these trials.".
Jared Tyler, Attorney for Wood, issued a formal statement today. “The court did the right thing by staying Mr. Wood´s execution and authorizing his claims related to Dr. Grigson´s false testimony during the sentencing phase to be considered on the merits. The man who committed murder was executed in 2002. Justice is not served by executing Mr. Wood, who was outside the building when it happened and who had no criminal history.“
