His spiritual adviser, M. Dale S. Recinella, Catholic Correctional Chaplain declares: "As the state of Florida moves forward on a death warrant for Mr. Lambrix, they are asserting procedural bar against allowing a hearing on his evidence of self-defense and other late discovered evidence of innocence. The purpose of procedural bar in death penalty cases is so the state can kill people without giving them a chance to present late-discovered evidence of their innocence to the court. From a moral standpoint, every person of biblical faith should be outraged at any attempt by the state to use procedural bar in death penalty cases. Exodus 23:7 All persons of Catholic faith should be doubly outraged in light of the specific teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas that the execution of an innocent person is intrinsically evil. In principle, procedural bar should be banned in all death penalty cases. In this case specifically, the courts should order that the evidence be heard. Even a minimum of moral decency requires it" Dale S. Recinella, Catholic Correctional Chaplain" |
Sky above Raiford October 5, 2017 Rest in Peace Michael... Michael Lambrix was executed by the State of Florida on October 5, 2017 He went from the Darkness to the Light.. Where he is there is no hurting, no suffering, and no pain. While we grieve his loss, we are comforted by the fact that he is in a far better place now. We were all very lucky to have had him in our lives and as much as he will be missed by us all, he will remain with us, every day, always.. ------------------------------------------------- Michael Lambrix was indicted on 2 counts of first degree murder on March 29, 1983 on Clarence Moore and Aleisha Bryant outside his home. Clarence Moore was a 35-year-old career criminal, and a known associate of South Florida drug smugglers, while Bryant was a 19-year-old local waitress who had just met Moore. Clarence Moore had also a record of violence towards women. Michael Lambrix always maintained his complete innocence in the murder of Aleisha Bryant, and that he was compelled to act in in voluntary self-defense when he killed Clarence Moore, attempting to stop the violent assault of Clarence Moore upon Aleisha Bryant. His case is circumstancial. At his first trial, the Glades County jury ended with the declaration of a mistrial on December 17, 1983, when the jury failed to reach a verdict after deliberating for 11 hours. The retrial jury found Michael Lambrix guilty on both counts of indictment on February 24, 1984. Michael has remained on death row ever since.
