Two courts have found Jimmie “Chris” Duncan factually innocent — yet his fight for freedom isn’t over. Chris’ #wrongfulconviction was based on unreliable forensic testimony and junk science, and he spent 27 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.

Now, a prosecutor is threatening to retry him. Read @QuinHillyer's op-ed on why Louisiana shouldn’t play double jeopardy with Chris’ life.

New Op-Ed in the @Tennessean: A former correctional officer conveys years of participating in executions left lasting psychological trauma. Many have shared that the experience changed them forever. https://t.co/x456o69svc @CCATDP

The death penalty is a system shrouded in government secrecy that notoriously leaves important questions unanswered. https://t.co/Lts7aSkVys

Executive Director Demetrius Minor participated in a panel today at the National Convening to End Felony Murder. He discussed our efforts to engage conservatives in the campaigns to save Sonny Burton and Tremane Wood, both of whom received clemency from GOP governors.

The Georgia Supreme Court has ruled that the vaccine requirement that formed part of a pandemic-era halt to executions has been met. https://t.co/QwXsujcjqJ

From @VanJones68 & @DSafavianEsq in @USATODAY on “Shaken Baby” junk science: Junk science drives wrongful convictions. That's not justice. Too often, junk science is dressed up as factual evidence, as in #RobertRoberson’s TX death penalty case. https://t.co/ToVJyO5QKW

“Our Founding Fathers wanted to make sure courts were fair to every defendant. It is why we have jury trials in the first place. But the system only works when jurors are presented with trusted information rooted in sound science.” https://t.co/mYGBShUBPq

Just got off the phone with Mitch McConnell, we talked for just shy of 20 minutes and he told us he wants to end the death penalty

[Georgia Conservatives Concerned @GA_CConcerned]

Just 12 new death sentences were imposed nationwide during the first half of 2026. See what’s driving this trend in the @DPInfoCtr’s mid-year report. https://t.co/Vwh5XrNvVG

[TCADP @TCADPdotORG]

In case you missed the phenomenal @PabloTorre podcast episode with Charles Flores earlier this year, here’s another chance to listen and hear updates on the case of a man who has spent more than 25 years on death row in Texas for a crime he did not commit.

[Georgia Conservatives Concerned @GA_CConcerned]

The death penalty is often defended as a deterrent, but the research consistently shows it does not effectively prevent violent crime.

Happy Independence Day from Conservatives Concerned!

Fifty years ago today, Gregg v. Georgia ushered in the modern era of the death penalty. After five decades of failed promises, it's clear the system is broken. Help us continue to build the conservative movement to end the death penalty: https://t.co/KcGEedHCQ5

Today marks the 50th anniversary of 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘨 𝘷. 𝘎𝘦𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘢, the decision that reshaped the modern death penalty. Watch this powerful video from our partners at @GFADP and why, even five decades later, it continues to fail.

Republican state senators in Tennessee are calling on the state to launch a formal investigation into Tony Carruthers’ botched execution attempt. https://t.co/JygeeZwDuL
