FACTS Joins Terminally Ill Prisoner Patricia Wright’s Family in Asking for Her Immediate Release from Prison

WHEN: Wednesday, August 31^st 11:00 am

WHERE: In front of Governor Brown’s downtown LA Office 300 So Spring St

WHO: Wright’s family, the FACTS community and all who can make it

WHY: Patricia Wright has terminal cancer and has been given 6 months to live. In 1998, Wright was convicted of killing her husband, a crime which was committed 17 years before. There was NO evidence to link her to the crime and absolutely NO motive which had any merit. The esteemed Innocence Project has taken her case.

The family has been fighting for her freedom since her conviction, but now their fight takes on renewed vigor. They want Patricia to be allowed to come home to spend her last days with her family. The Governor has been asked to grant her clemency, and though he is sympathetic, he insists that his hands are tied because Wright has three felonies on her record. Those three felonies consist of a murder she did not commit and the “theft” of two .99 cent toys taken by her 7 year old son in June 1989. The family has been informed by the Senate Public Safety Committee that according to California penal codes 4851& 4852, the Governor has power to grant pardon & clemency without going through the parole board or the Supreme Court. According to Families to Amend California’s Three Strikes -FACTS and all in support of Patricia, he has not only the right, but a moral imperative to release Patricia immediately. Family requested a meeting with Governor’s office on Aug 26^th

California – July 18, 2011 – The question “Will a cotton spider and a Wooden Cart cause Patricia Wright To Die In A California Prison?” Many years ago Patricia Wright visited a model home with her young son. After touring the home Patricia learned that her son had taken a cotton spider and wooden cart out of the children's play room of the model home. Patricia had no idea of this but, ended up with a misdemeanor in the state of California.

Patricia Wright CDC#W79941, is wrongly convicted and currently housed at Central California Women's Skilled Nursing Facility as she is terminally ill. Patricia is requesting that Governor Brown commute her sentence as, the Board of Pardon's and Parole is in agreement with her release.

The INNOCENCE PROJECT at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York, NY has accepted Patricia's case and is working on proving her innocence; however, Patricia is dying.

Patricia was convicted in 1998 of her ex-husband’s 1981 murder, no physical or forensic evidence or, eyewitnesses tie her to the crime, she adamantly denies any involvement, and crime scene fingerprints exclude her.
