FOCUSING ON
THE DEATH PENALTY
Last week in Webinar #2 - Why Prosecutors Reject the Death Penalty, Denver District Attorney Beth McCann, and San Francisco D.A. Chesa Boudin explained why they renounce the death penalty. They explained difficulty they encountered running for public office as a death penalty opponent. The D.A.'s described the toll that a death penalty case takes on prosecutors, defenders, judicial officers and court staff. All while providing no closure, no healing for the grieving.
McCann and Boudin are separated by a generation, but both reaffirm the fact that the death penalty is not a deterrent, and does not make the public safer. Both agreed that racism and bias in the system account for glaring racial disparity in the use of the death penalty. Both agreed that the death penalty was incompatible with progressive prosecution and restorative justice.
This webinar is the third in the 6-part series and directly discusses the inequity and unfairness in death penalty cases.
