On June 23, 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Nathan Bowie's Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, his last legal "appeal" to overturn his sentences of death.
Now it's up to the Governor of North Carolina to decide whether to grant clemency to Nathan.
Will you help us? Get your church, mosque or temple to write in favor of saving Nathan's life.

My name is Timothy L. Melton. I was Nathan Bowie's roommate at the Sipe's Orchard Home for Boys for 3 years. We were best friends and looked out for each other. I think he has gotten UNFAIR treatment in the court system!!! If his whole story came out about his life and all that he had been through, and had a lawyer that was not drunk and that cared about him, he might not be sitting on death row now!! I think he deserves a chance for a new trial!! Please don't put him to death without a FAIR Trial!! Why should he die without one and paying the price for a drunk lawyer!!!
I don't know Nathan Bowie, but I do know a raw deal when I see one!! I think it really stinks the way he was treated by his "trial lawyer" and the court system!! They should be ashamed of themselves!!! Give him a chance!! Give him a FAIR trial!!! I don't like the fact that murder was involved, but I believe everyone should get a fair trial!!
I am incredibly disturbed by what seems to have transpired in this case. A self professed, cronic alcoholic, arrested for DUI with a BAC of .40!, haphazardly and very poorly defends a person accused of a double murder AND the only "work " that this lawyer did for this young 20 yeard old man, is stand in place while he states a couple of contentions to the court rather than truly fighting to DEFEND him. No witnesses were questioned, no one bothered or truly took the time to locate the sister to show that there was a misunderstanding as to what the victims were potentially getting away with. It certainly wasn't becuase of some stolen jewelery. Nor was there any testimony to the fact of what led Mr. Bowie to be placed in the Sipe's home initially, ie. child abuse, parental neglect, trauma etc. Seems to me there is much to conclude at the least, that these men and most certainly young Mr.Bowie, did not recieve a fair and unbiased trial.
My name is Kevin Wayne Letterman and I would like to share some information about Nathan Wayne Bowie.I was a classmate with Nathan at Newton Conover High School.Nathan was well liked in school and in the community. He was a very talented athlete on the football field and always displayed quality character and and sportsmanship.We always pushed one another on the field and he made me a better player and a person.Many people look at Nathans crime and say that his punishment is just, but they have never taken the time to learn what Nathan was all about as a person and a friend.He dealt with some very difficult situations as a child and never complained or blamed others for his misfortune.His character and heart made him a great person to be around.I hope when you go to judge a persons character, many of you will you will take the time to learn about that person and what difficulties they have faced.Thank you for your friendship and God bless you Nathan.
My name is James Shaver...Tim Melton and I were at the same Boy's Home with Nathan...I recently learned about Nathan's plight through finding Tim...In investigating this it is indeed a RAW DEAL...No one should be represented by inebriated and incompetent representation
