Kenneth Starr, lawyer sent fake letters for rapist-murderer
Bogus letters sent to governor asking to spare
life of convicted rapist-murderer
Lawyers for a death row inmate, including former Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr, sent fake letters from jurors asking California’s governor to spare the man’s life, prosecutors said Friday.
“We showed each person the declaration on their behalf and they all said they didn’t say that,” Barankin said.
San Joaquin County prosecutor Charles Schultz also said the letters sent to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger last week were “untrue” and “pure fiction.”
Morales is scheduled to be executed February 21 for the rape and murder of a 17-year-old girl in San Joaquin County 25 years ago.
