It's a legal axiom in the judicial system that it is better to let 10 guilty persons go scot free than to convict one innocent man.

2022 will go down as the year of the botched execution.

Example: On July 28, 2022, executioners in Alabama took three hours to set an IV line before putting Joe James Jr. to death, the longest botched lethal injection execution in U.S. history. #EndTheDeathPenalty https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/facts-and-research/dpic-reports/dpic-year-end-reports/the-death-penalty-in-2022-year-end-report

“I have long believed that justice is not advanced by taking a life, and the state should not be in the business of executing people — even if a terrible crime placed them in prison…”
-Outgoing Oregon Gov. Kate Brown

Now it’s on the legislature and the incoming #governor to end state-sanctioned murder in #Oregon entirely. And all the other legislatures and governors to do the same their states.

Revenge is not justice.

"Salem, OR—Governor Kate Brown today announced that she will use her executive clemency powers to commute the sentences of the 17 individuals on Oregon’s #deathrow to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

“I have long believed that #justice is not advanced by taking a life, and the state should not be in the business of executing people—even if a terrible crime placed them in #prison."

Inspired by a good idea:

Hi, I'm Terry. I'm first cohort GenX. Yeah, I'm a white woman but I am not a handmaiden of the white supremacist patriarchy (I love you, @monaeltahawy). I've been in tech for way too long as a marketer, writer, promoter. But I love technology - the promise and potential - the reality has it's moments. My personal interests are #prisonabolition #campaignfinancereform #endthedeathpenalty and #lgbtqrights. I hope if you find me you'll engage.

The prosecution and law enforcement hid critical evidence in this case. How many others are sitting on death row for the same reason? #EndTheDeathPenalty
