Urgent Request for Action on Anthony Stewart’s Conditional Pardon for Medical Reasons
Copy
EMAIL BODY
Dear [Governor or Delegate] [Last Name],
I am writing to urge you to take immediate action in support of conditional pardon for medical reasons or compassionate release for Anthony “Tony” Stewart.
Mr. Stewart is a medically vulnerable, intellectually disabled man currently incarcerated at Greensville Correctional Center. He suffers from end-stage renal disease and has experienced repeated medical emergencies while in custody. Because of his cognitive impairments, he cannot adequately care for himself or advocate for his own medical needs.
His case raises serious concerns about justice, compassion, and human dignity. He was repeatedly found incompetent to stand trial, and twice deemed unrestorable, yet the prosecution continued until he was ultimately tried and sentenced to decades in prison for nonviolent drug offenses.
Continued incarceration under these conditions serves no just purpose. I respectfully ask that you support immediate intervention and advocate for medical clemency or compassionate release for Anthony Stewart before his sentence becomes a death sentence.
Thank you for your time and leadership.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City, State]
