Brett Hartmann, who currently resides on Ohio’s Death Row, has a
scheduled lethal execution date of August 16 2011.

On July 12, 2011, Brett’s defense team will be appearing before
the Parole Board for a clemency hearing. This board will conduct a
review and then make a clemency recommendation to Ohio’s
Governor Ted Kasich.

The family, friends, and supporters of Brett Hartmann hope that
you will join them by writing to the Parole Board and urge them to
recommend clemency. (Commutation is the substitution of a lesser
for a greater punishment.)

There are many areas of innocence surrounding Brett’s case but
we would like to offer the following speaking points.

• The Summit County Prosecutor failed to have key pieces of
evidence tested, including but not limited to; hairs found on the
victims’ body, and a used condom. The prosecutor continues to
block attempts to have this evidence tested.

• The prosecutor likewise failed to pursue the most likely alternative
suspect even after learning that his alibi did not cover the actual
time of the killing.

• There is questionable testimony from a jailhouse snitch. Perjury
involving the primary government informant in the case would bring
the reliability of the jury’s guilty verdict into question.

• Deficient performance of counsel at trial.

• Brett Hartman has compelling qualities as a human being, who
continues to grow and to provide assistance to others while
incarcerated on death row.

Please address your letters to; Ohio Parole Board and then mail or
fax them to Brett’s defense at the address below. If you know Brett,
please feel free to include comments of a personal nature. We
would appreciate them being received by July 5, 2011.
Thank you,
