Support Senate Bill S972.

"ACT TO ESTABLISH A TWO YEAR MORATORIUM ON EXECUTIONS"

Ellie Kinnaird's bill requires that no death penalty dates be set for two years, during which time we have a study to "examine issues regarding the imposition
of a death sentence under North Carolina law."

Worries include our sentencing of at least five innocent people to death, the compentency of lawyers defending folks vulnerable of the death penalty, potential problems with race, and arbitrary application of the death penalty.

And then there is the moral Wrongness of the thing.
