Tracy Spirko’s husband John Spirko is on Ohio's Death Row. He had an Execution Date of November 15th, 2005. In October John received a temporary reprieve and was ordered a new parole board hearing for executive clemency on Nov. 11th.
Tracy’s story starts with her best friend being murdered in 1982. As part of the grieving process all she wanted was the person or persons who did that to die.
At some point she began visiting a friend in Ohio's Prison System, and had a long hard look into her heart and realized that the Death Penalty is WRONG.
Tracy has had pen pals in Prison since the age of 15, “I heard back from John who told me that it might make me mad, but he said, I'm Innocent!!! I thought to myself Yeah, you and everyone else on Death Row!
I looked into his case and realized he really was INNOCENT!! “
