BOTCHED EXECUTION ATTEMPT #TonyCarruthers

"In yet another outrage related to capital punishment in the United States, this time in Tennessee, prison officials have failed in their attempts to execute a prisoner. The execution process for Tony Carruthers was halted ("for now") with much blood and pain reported after a failed attempt to perform a cutdown to access a vein. Issues of due process and untested DNA evidence with could prove innocence in this case not withstanding, government cannot be trusted with the power to kill prisoners, and they certainly cannot be trusted to get it right, every time. It is well past time to abolish the death penalty."

A world where people of color are not disproportionately represented in prisons and on death rows. #abolishthedeathpenalty #BlackHistory

[Missourians to Abolish the Death Penalty @MADPMO]

Honoring #BlackHistoryMonth demands that we work, hand-in-hand, to forge a world where black people are recognized in the same ways white people are.

A world that values black life as much as it values white life.

Missouri is one of only 2 states where a judge can impose a death sentence even with a hung jury. Rep. Bishop Davidson introduced HB 2747 which aims to end that practice for good.
