New York City public defender Eliza Orlins discusses the racist history of the death penalty, the brutality of the various execution methods, and its massive expense.
Well, many US states obviously like to be in the company of countries such as China, Russia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and many other Muslim countries. Especially now in times of the muskrat/orange felon.
It seems to me that spending the rest of your life in prison is a worse punishment than execution. And there is no justice in later exonerating a wrongly convicted person who is dead. Killing a murderer never brings his/her victims back to life. And for those who are comfortable with the idea of the government executing people, maybe they would appreciate saving taxpayer dollars by imposing a life sentence.
Just a question, where does the stat you cite that 190 convicted death row inmates have been exonerated? Just want to know so that I can sprinkle that fact into the letters I write legislators. There was an attempt this legislative session to bring back the death penalty in Iowa, which I am firmly against. If you would let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks and keep up the good work!
And now there are states that are banning abortion, that will prosecute someone who gets one with homicide, with the possibility of the death penalty.

Good job! And I couldn’t agree more.

Truth is often painful, but that doesn't mean that people don't need to hear it.
