WHY ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY?
Race, social and economic status, location of crime, and pure chance may be deciding factors in death sentencing…The death penalty may actually encourage murder because of its brutalizing effect. Amnesty International USA
The death penalty is a poor person’s issue. Always remember that: after all the rhetoric that goes on in the legislative assemblies, in the end, it is the poor who are selected to die in this country.
– Sr. Helen Prejean, C.S.J.
More often than we want to recognize, some innocent defendants have been convicted and sentenced to death.
– Sandra Day O’Connor US Supreme Court Justice, October 2001
Since 1973, over 100 inmates nationwide have been freed from death row and exonerated. Florida leads the nation in releases.
