Atty Jill C. Jefferson was arrested for filming a traffic stop in MS—days after a DOJ investigation visit. Jill’s worked with my students to investigate the Willie Jones lynching. Please call Lexington Police Dept. at 662-834-3965 & 3508, ask Chief Henderson to drop the charges.

Powerful and haunting admissions: As governors, we oversaw executions. We’ve lived to regret it. https://t.co/CmDCwomnOu

The Supreme Court should do what's right and vacate Richard Glossip's conviction. It is what justice demands. https://t.co/N0DpjOlhEL

Would you like to host a speaking event with a Death Row Exoneree as your guest speaker? Go to https://t.co/GBXB0nJxCI and see the exonerees and their stories. If you can't host an event at least make a donation to help these exonerees with their mission. Some not compensated!

In 100 days, Governor DeSantis has signed three death warrants and set the executions for three individuals. Two of them have already been executed by the state. One will be executed tonight if a stay is not issued. 100 days.

“We know that non-unanimity leads to wrongful convictions with more than 93 percent of our wrongful convictions were non-unanimous verdicts,” DeLiberato said. “It also silences black and brown voices on the jury.” @MauraZurick @Newsweek https://t.co/oGORoaxcjR

Juries are an integral part of our justice system — but in death penalty cases, juries are rigged to be more conviction-prone, friendlier to the prosecution, and to exclude Black community members. https://t.co/OItdaHFwRJ

@RDunhamDP @ACLU @wjxt4 @MarilynParkerTV @FLDeathPenalty @FADPorg @FSCNAACP Excluding Black jurors, who want to participate in democracy, is offensive, discriminatory and unconstitutional. Our history and ongoing discrim seeds distrust leading to opposition to the death penalty. And jurors against death can still vote tor lawful (not “raw”) punishments.

I am a death row exoneree trying to be a certified criminal migration specialist but I need my rights. I been release 14yrs. DeSantis won't help the victim Florida created with getting my rights back, can someone hook me up with Biden Admin to see if he would give me a pardon.

@MauriceChammah @MarshallProj Yesterday @MauriceChammah illustrated the uplifting role of mitigation investigation, humanizing lives of people the State wants to execute. Today, he shows the ugly reality of capital jury selection, entailing disparate exclusion of Black jurors under "death qualification." Read
