This petition is on the behalf of Andrew Carl Beach, his parents, his family members, many friends, academic colleagues and all the other citizens of Alabama who travel on on state roadways daily with the expectation that they and members of their families will leave home and return safely. We believe that prosecution and sentencing, commensurate to the seriousness of this crime, will serve as a deterrent to such outrageously hazardous criminal conduct of choice that resulted in Andrew's death and will help to prevent other families from experiencing such an unimaginable loss.
Why is this important?
Andrew Carl Beach, age 24, was murdered on July 20, 2012, through a depraved, conscious and wanton criminal act. The crime is deserving of prompt and aggressive prosecution seeking a sentence that is commensurate to the crime that resulted in Andrew's catastrophic, violent death.
