Now is the time to reconsider Florida’s Death Penalty

September 18, 2018 by Emily Chow

On August 23rd, FADP along with Amnesty International, Florida Death Row Exoneree Herman Lindsey and murder victims’ family members SueZann Bosler and Juanita Perez called on Florida policymakers to end the state’s dependence on the death penalty.

(L-R) Kristina Roth – Senior Program Officer for Criminal Justice Programs at Amnesty International USA, Herman Lindsey – 23rd exonerated Florida Death Row survivor and Board Member of Witness to Innocence, Rob Freer, Amnesty International USA Researcher, author of report, presenting on report, Juanita Perez – Florida murder victim family member, Mark Elliott – director of Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP), SueZann Bosler – Miami murder victim family member and Co-founder of The Journey of Hope – From Violence to Healing

In front of the offices of Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle, Amnesty International released their latest report, “USA: Darkness Visible in the Sunshine State.”

This report examines how many death row inmates have been denied the chance of a review of their death sentences by the state’s response to the Hurst v. Florida ruling in 2016, in which the US Supreme Court overturned the state’s capital sentencing statute because it gave juries only an advisory role in death sentencing.

Join us and urge the future governor of Florida to reconsider Florida’s dependence the death penalty and end it.
