Comments
“America’s death penalty is in a tailspin. That much is clear from headlines about botched executions and untested lethal injection protocols. In this symposium, we bring together a diverse group of individuals –all experts with a unique viewpoint on the death penalty –to share that expertise and spark a thoughtful, engaging conversation with each other and our audience. We hope you will join us.” – from symposium announcement
