Connecticut Lawmakers to Consider Repeal

Our colleagues at the Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty and the Connecticut NAACP have been working hard this session to convince the state’s legislature to repeal the death penalty, and their efforts are paying off. Members of the joint judiciary committee plan to propose repeal legislation this month.

A move to abolish capital punishment for future convictions was halted last year when two Democratic legislators changed their minds after speaking with Dr. William Petit, the only survivor of a 2007 triple slaying that took the lives of his wife and two daughters. The two defendants in that case have since been sentenced to death row, and one of the senators who was influenced by the case says he is now in support of repeal.

Governor Dannel Malloy has said he would sign repeal legislation that abolishes the death penalty for all future cases and does not directly affect sentences of current death row inmates. He is the first Connecticut governor to oppose the death penalty in four decades. There are currently 11 inmates on death row in Connecticut, and there has only been one execution in the state in 51 years.

We applaud the work of CNADP, NAACP, as well as the state legislators who have been trying to win support for repeal in Connecticut. We are hopeful that the majority of lawmakers will realize that maintaining the death penalty is an extremely costly, unjust public policy that does little to deter crime or make our communities safer, and only further traumatizes many victims’ families by dragging them through decades of litigation.
