Suggested General Talking Points
1. Alabama has no clear and carefully documented execution protocol but plans on using a secret and untried protocol. The men will be guinea pigs!
2. Instead, Alabama ought to delay all executions to allow for a thorough study of its capital punishment process and consider the serious objections raised as to how it administers the death penalty.
Talking Points For KENNETH EUGENE SMITH:
1. Mr. Smith's jury voted 11-1 for a life without the possibility parole sentence.
2. Mr. Smith's rights were violated by the State's refusal to enter into good faith plea agreement.
3. Alabama is failing to reveal the expiration date of the execution drugs.
4. Alabama is failing to reveal the source of its execution drugs.
5. Alabama still uses a method of execution with drugs considered by some States to be in violation of the Constitution and ethically, morally wrong.
6. Alabama ought to delay all executions to allow for a thorough study of its capital punishment process and consider the serious objections raised as to how it administers the death penalty.
