LJS Calls for Repeal of the Death Penalty

Awesome.

A more stark example of how dramatically and utterly wrong the justice system can be could hardly be imagined. Of all the problems with the death penalty, including the reality that it is handed out in arbitrary fashion depending on a defendant’s ability to hire a top attorney, the possibility of executing an innocent person is by far the most consequential.

This year, the Legislature has the opportunity to abolish the death penalty in Nebraska by passing LB306, introduced by Sen. Brenda Council of Omaha.

Senators, vote the bill into law.

Surely Nebraskans do not want the death of an innocent person on their conscience.
