Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty is a statewide grassroots organization working to end the death penalty in Florida.

[Robert Dunham @RDunhamDP]

Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty has issued this statement in response to the execution of Jesse Guardado.

"Tonight, this administration has reinforced its legacy of refusing mercy regardless of a person’s remorse, culpability, or transformation, while resisting any oversight of its own actions. Just hours before Jesse’s execution, the governor of California commuted the death sentences of all 548 people in his state, demonstrating that a governor can protect public safety while allowing them to live. Florida’s next administration will have the opportunity – and the responsibility – to reconsider how this state uses its power over life and death. Let Jesse Guardado’s transformation in the years after his devastating crime inspire that change." https://t.co/Wf8i6Xfixc @FADPorg @FLDeathPenalty @uscedp #deathpenalty

This is a day that will be remembered in California’s history and resonate globally for years to come. Responding to calls from Clemency California, Amnesty International, and more than 40 international organizations, Governor Newsom has announced a decisive and powerful step away from the use of the death penalty – the ultimate cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment.

The death penalty should be abolished, everywhere. Today marks a significant moment for human rights in California and across the country, but it is not the finishing line. The world is watching, and this decision is showing that progress is possible, and the United States, which remains among a small group of 17 countries that continues to carry out executions, can move beyond the death penalty.

Military veterans are urging Gov. DeSantis to halt tomorrow’s scheduled execution of William Reaves, who served in Vietnam.

“Jurors were asked to decide whether a veteran should live or die without being told what the war had done to him.”

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

“The types of failures that went into this botch happen all the time,” said Robert Dunham, director of the Death Penalty Policy Project. “There is nothing in the execution process that states are incapable of getting wrong.” @RDunhamDP @propublica https://t.co/CVCSEkTYED

The attempted execution of Christa Pike is being described as out of sorts and abnormally long.

Pike spoke about pain in her arm, and she was heard whimpering and snoring.

Witnesses say they could still her breathing when they were ushered out of the viewing area.

Execution has NOT been confirmed complete.

Statement on the Execution of Curtis Beasley in Florida https://t.co/v4TDGLgbKy

[FADP @FADPorg]

Curtis Beasley is scheduled for execution in Florida tomorrow. His appeal raises an important point: who gets executed rests solely in the fate of one man. It’s hard to imagine something more arbitrary than that.
