MANILA, Philippines — The case of Mary Jane Veloso, a Filipina on death row in Indonesia for drug trafficking, has spanned over a decade and remains one of the most high-profile legal battles involving an overseas Filipino worker. Veloso was arrested on April 25, 2010, at Adisucipto International Airport in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, after she was found in possession of more than 2.6 kilograms of heroin. She was sentenced to death in October – just six months after her arrest. Indonesia’s Supreme Court upheld the penalty in May 2011.

Petition to Remove Judge Sharon Keller from Office

Petition to Remove Judge Sharon Keller from Office
Petition to Remove Judge Sharon Keller from Office To: Members of the Texas Legislature, Governor Perry and the People of Texas

Judge Sharon Keller should be removed as a judge on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals either through impeachment, resignation or at the end of her trial on misconduct charges brought by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.

Keller's unethical conduct has brought discredit on the Texas judiciary. As longs as Keller is in office, the quality of justice in Texas remains discredited.

Keller has violated the public trust placed in her to dispense justice fairly and impartially.

She broke the rules of her own court when she refused to accept an appeal 20 minutes after 5 PM from a person on the day set for his execution.

In addition, she has asked the people of Texas to pay for her legal expenses to defend herself while she failed to report millions of dollars in assets to the Texas Ethics Commission.
