Homicide is the killing of one person by another. Murder is a form of criminal homicide, where the perpetrator intended to kill the other person, sometimes with premeditation (a plan to kill). When the prisoner is pronounced dead, a death certificate will be issued, and a cause of death must be stated. For all those executed in this country, the cause of death listed is always “homicide.”

“I realize that I cannot stand by silently as my government executes its citizens. If I do not speak out and resist, I AM AN ACCOMPLICE. “Sr. Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking

Moderator: Father John D’Mello, PhD, Moral Theology Pastoral Vicar St Patrick Church

Herman became the 27th person to be exonerated from Florida’s death
