I'm just sitting here thinking of how Amicus all began as it will be the 25th anniversary of Andrew's execution in a few hours time. At this time his family and friends, including me, were trying our best to keep up Andrew's spirits. And what a legacy he has left! Let's hope that by the 30th anniversary the death penalty in the US has gone into history.
Thank you, all of you, on Andrew's behalf.
