Tomorrow, New Hampshire lawmakers will vote on repealing the death penalty. It’s an issue that rises above politics – it's one of conscience. https://t.co/tRsWluROCM

I’m worried more that the state could KILL an innocent person. #NotInMyName @PAAttorneyGen

@PAAttorneyGen Seven Pennsylvanians have been exonerated from death row: Neil Ferber, Jay Smith, William Nieves, Thomas Kimbell, Ray Krone, Nicolas Yarris, and Harold Wilson. How concerned are you that another name could be added to this list under your watch?

[PA Against Death Penalty #NoDeathPenaltyPA @padp_org]

At 3PM @PAAttorneyGen will be answering your questions about #deathpenalty on instagram. He's asked for questions ahead of time. We'd like to know what he's doing to abolish this #racist expensive failed government policy. And the 164 death row exonerees do, too.

Alfred Dewayne Brown was freed from death row in 2015, but never qualified for compensation from the state because he was never deemed "actually innocent." Ogg had assigned Raley to look into the case.
