Georgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (GFADP) is our statewide coalition working for an end to capital punishment and a more fair system.

[Robert Dunham @RDunhamDP]

Stick a fork in the narrative about a surging death penalty. @Gallup has just released its annual poll on the death penalty and reports that support for capital punishment has not been lower since 1966:

U.S. Death Penalty Support Drops Below Majority Level. https://t.co/foBC2OFixy @uscedp @WCADP @AssoECPM @NAACP_LDF @ACLU @southerncenter @eji_org @CCATDP

We remember #TroyDavis — and the seventy-seven people the State of Georgia has executed since 1976. This practice will not end on its own. We have to fight to end it, and Georgians must demand it. https://t.co/LjnlB5pMio #deathpenalty

“When will the state end a practice that can take an innocent life and offers no remedy when it gets it wrong?”

Our colleague at @GFADP, Executive Director Vanessa Griddine-Jones, revisits three landmark Georgia #deathpenalty cases in @ajc. https://t.co/eWyv4SyjUk

Serious crimes demand accountability and lawful punishment; neither point is disputed here. Neither point, however, means that the path to execution is free from error. https://t.co/fkL9va8tfN

Before the state takes another life in our names, we should consider every life the crime and the sentence have touched. A sentence does not tell the whole story.

Today, October 10, is the 24th World Day Against the Death Penalty. This year’s theme, “Stories for Life,” centers the people affected by the death penalty—and the stories too often left unheard. https://t.co/LjnlB5pMio

"This failed attempt is the worst we've ever seen and unlike any other botched execution in the modern era," said Robin M. Maher, DPI executive director. @DPInfoCtr https://t.co/TkkN399ZHh

Georgia executes people in our names, with the same drug, and it has not said it will stop. Stop killing in our names and calling it justice. https://t.co/vjUaoMfdS9

[GFADP @GFADP]

Last night, the State of Tennessee tried to execute #ChristaPike and could not. That is why we call it state-sponsored violence: a government, acting in the name of every person who lives there, deliberately taking a life. @Tndeathpenalty

[GFADP @GFADP]

Every process, every institution, and every system is made of people, and people err. Every other sentence this state imposes leaves room for that error. The death penalty is the one that does not. #deathpenalty

A judge has ordered the release of Douglas Stewart Carter, a Black man who has spent decades on death row for a 1985 killing he did not commit.

Carter is 71 years old. He spent 41 years in prison

BREAKING: Despite agreement of all parties, sharply divided Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rejects trial court’s finding of constitutional error in #MelissaLucio's case. Trial court had previously found her "actually innocent”.
