To: Administrator Robert Cooper
I am signing this petition on behalf of Marnita A. Bynum, a young woman who was murdered by her husband of
19 years Melvin Bynum, who is being held in your facility.
Melvin Bynum is scheduled for a custody hearing on July 1, 2007. I am appalled that the State of North Carolina
would even consider releasing him to a lesser facility. It is my wish that the State of North Carolina continue to hold Melvin
Bynum in a Medium Facility or transfer him to a maximum facility where he belongs.
