W4R 2023: USA – Rocky Myers | Amnesty USA



Rocky Myers, a Black man with an intellectual disability, has spent three decades on death row in Alabama for murder. Assigned an ineffective lawyer, Rocky was convicted following testimonies blighted by inconsistencies and alleged police pressure. Sentenced to death by a judge who imposed a death sentence against the jury’s wishes, Rocky was abandoned by his post-conviction lawyer, meaning he missed key dates for his appeal. Now he needs your help.
