Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall held a news conference last Thursday morning to discuss legislation aimed at expanding the use of capital punishment. Alabama leaders called for the death penalty for child rapist stating that those who committed this horrific crime deserved a place in hell. Well there is no need to kill because if you are looking for hell just go to an Alabama prison long condemned by the Feds because that is what they are!
Execution Intervention.org is planning several events to highlight their campaign against nitrogen executions. The first one, a press conference with the Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood, will be 8.15.25 a Zoom Webinar. Details to follow!
