Kentucky has not had an execution since 2008. The underlying data shows that while there have been no executions, Kentucky’s death penalty is still costly and racially biased. The time is now to abolish. Read the full report here: https://t.co/vcfOYTpj1T #TakeItOffTheTable

#AndreThomas’s capital trial is “a frightening echo of what was at issue in the Lovings’ case, where it became clear that deep-seated hatred of interracial marriages shares roots with all other pernicious aspects of racism.” @BLaw Insights https://t.co/71dvyYeXEL

Former US Solicitor General and US Judge Kenneth Starr calls on #SCOTUS to act in Texas #deathpenalty case of #TerenceAndrus: “In our system, all courts must faithfully adhere to Supreme Court precedent, especially on matters of life and death.” @thehill https://t.co/zfihbP4BHO

[Laura Burstein @LauraBurstein1]

At this morning’s argument in #Shinn, #SCOTUS seemed to understand that Arizona's gambit is extreme and illogical. Vitally important for them to preserve a basic right to present evidence of ineffective counsel. https://t.co/QdOBbLBoWh

The #deathpenalty is a racist relic of the past. It’s time for #Ohio to finally leave this ugly, broken policy behind with SB 103/HB 183. Sponsor testimonyon HB 183 today (5/26) brings OH one step closer. Join the campaign: https://t.co/bRxtQOF0JJ #NoDeathPenaltyOH
