Background
Deborah Peagler has been incarcerated since 1983 for her connection to the murder of the man who abused her, forced her into prostition, and who molested her six year-old daughter. Before the death of her batterer, Deborah had tried to obtain help from police, but they only held her batterer in jail for a night--even though he swore he would kill Deborah. After he was released, two men killed her batterer and Deborah was charged with planning the crime, despite the fact that the prosecution's own key witness against her "committed perjury" (according to a secret memo written by the prosecutors at the time). In 2005, prosecutors offered her a deal in writing for her freedom, but they renegged after Deborah refused to waive any future civil claims, such as those that she could file for wrongful imprisonment. Even her former batterer's family supports her release. Now she has been diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer and doctors say she will not live to see 2010. It is time to set this woman free to let her spend her remaining days with her family.
