Death Penalty Coming Under Scrutiny in Tennessee

Recent drug forfeitures and questions about delayed executions have led Tennesseans to voice their concern over a death penalty system displaying a number of systematic flaws. On Monday alone, The Tennessean posted three op-ed pieces discussing capital punishment in our state. While State Representative Barrett Rich, Pastor William W. McDermet III, and CARITAS co-chair Fran Rajotte all hold differing viewpoints on capital punishment, each author calls for a long, hard look at a death penalty system that appears to be frustrating everyone.

Fairly, there are numerous aspects you would like to think about medications. All discount medicaments save money, but few online drugstores offer better deals than other online drugstores. There isn’t anything you can’t order online anymore. Remedies like Deltasone ordinarily is used to treat diseases such as eye problems. Glucocorticoids naturally occurring steroids, which are easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. There are varied drugs for every conditions. Cialis is a remedy prescribed to treat many illnesses. What do you already know about long term side effects of cialis? What consumers talk about how long does it take for cialis to take effect? A general sexual claim among men is the erectile malfunction. Sexual problems mostly signal deeper problems: low libido or erectile dysfunction can be the symptom a strong heartiness problem such as heart trouble. Albeit the erectile dysfunction itself isn’t necessarily dangerous, erectile dysfunction is sometimes one of the early warning symptoms of other underlying health conditions that can be very dangerous. Unfortunately nearly all over-the-counter medicines have sometimes dangerous aftereffects, from muscle aches to death. If you buy any erectile disfunction medicaments like Cialis, check with a physician that they are sure to take with your other drugs. Do not take unwanted medications. Take Cialis to your local chemist’s shop which will dispose of them for you.

Wrongfully Convicted Man’s Fight Continues

Anthony Graves, who spent 18 years behind bars, including 12 years on death row in Texas, was exonerated in 2010 after  prosecutors acknowledged  that he did not commit the crimes for which he was sentenced to death.  

Since 1973, 138 people have been released from death rows across the country when evidence of their wrongful convictions emerged.  Cases such as Graves are terrifying reminders that the current system continues to risk the execution of an innocent person.  With alternatives like life without parole, this is a risk we don’t have to take.   

Graves conviction and ultimate exoneration were recently documented in a compelling “48 Hours Mystery” episode.

Jesus on Trial

If Jesus were tried today, what would his sentence be?  That was the question posed by Mark Osler and Jeanne Bishop as they recreated the trial of Jesus recently in Richmond, VA. 

The trial was the idea of  Mark Osler, a former U.S. Attorney in Detroit who teaches at the University of St. Thomas Law School in Minneapolis.  He is also author of the book, Jesus on Death Row, which puts the prosecution of Jesus in a modern day context.  

Jeanne Bishop’s sister, Nancy Bishop Langert, was killed during a home invasion in Winnetka, Illinois, along with her husband and unborn child in 1990.  Her sister’s death was part of the reason Jeanne Bishop became a defense attorney and an outspoken opponent of the death penalty. Bishop is currently active with Murder Victims’ Families for Human Rights.

TADP hopes to bring Jeanne and Mark to Tennessee next year during Lent for such an event, providing the opportunity for Tennesseans, particularly Christians, to take the trial of Jesus out the familiar pages of Scripture and to place it within the context of the current death penalty system.

Act Now for Troy Davis

Last week, Laura Moye, Director of Amnesty International USA’s Death Penalty Abolition Campaign, traveled to Nashville to speak to students at Belmont University about the troubling case of Troy Davis. Troy’s mother, Virginia, was to have accompanied Laura to speak about her son’s case, but Mrs. Davis died suddenly just a few days before she was to arrive.  Her sudden death at 65 is a sad reminder of the toll the death penalty takes on all those who are impacted by it.

Troy Davis was convicted in 1991 for the 1989 shooting of police officer, Mark Allen MacPhail, in Savannah, Georgia.  Officer MacPhail had been working off-duty as a security officer at a Greyhound bus station.  A homeless man had been beaten unconscious outside the adjoining Burger King.  Officer MacPhail came running to his aid and was then shot by the person who had pistol-whipped the homeless man.  An aggressive search for the perpetrator ensued, particularly intensive because the murder victim was a police officer.

Troy Davis was presented as an early suspect.  The case against him relied on witness testimony, which has since unraveled.  Ballistics found at the crime scene were offered at trial.  Shell casings were linked to a non-fatal shooting earlier that evening that was pinned to Davis; however, no murder weapon was ever found.  The GBI later held that the ballistics were not conclusive evidence, and the shooting victim has asserted that Davis was not the gunman.  Since 1991, seven of the nine non-police witnesses against Davis have recanted or contradicted their trial testimony.  The two remaining witnesses include a man who could not identify the shooter until the trial (two years after the crime) and initially felt certain only of the color of the shooter’s clothes.  The other was the first to implicate Davis to the police, but has since been implicated as the actual perpetrator by more than nine witnesses in sworn affidavits.

 In 2007, Davis received his first execution date following the denial of an appeal to the US Supreme Court.  Since then he has been on a rollercoaster of execution dates, stays of executions and various court proceedings.  A breakthrough came in September 2009, when the US Supreme Court ordered an unprecedented evidentiary hearing tasking him with the extraordinary charge of proving his innocence.  That hearing, held by the federal district court in Savannah, took place in June 2010.  Davis’ lawyers brought in several of the trial witnesses who admitted to giving false testimony, some alleging pressure from police.  They also brought in witnesses against the chief alternative suspect, including a new eyewitness who is the relative of this suspect.  Davis’ legal team still had no benefit of physical evidence to make their case.  They had to rely on witnesses, including some, who at the time of the MacPhail murder and today, have criminal records.  The state brought in several police officers and the former district attorney and his assistant, all of whom maintained that the investigation and prosecution they participated in was regular and without fault. 

In August, the judge who oversaw the hearing ruled against Davis.  Ultimately, he did not accept the credibility of the very witnesses used to convict Davis and made a judgment based on an “extraordinarily high standard” for “establishing innocence.”  He expressed disappointment that Davis’s lawyers did not call the alternative suspect, though his lawyers submitted an affidavit demonstrating their attempt to serve him a subpoena.  Davis’ test was to prove his innocence, not to establish serious doubts about his guilt or that a jury would not be able to convict him today.  Interestingly, some of the original trial jurors have said that they would not have convicted Davis had they know what they know today.  The judge’s ruling was lengthy and harshly worded; however, he admits that “the state’s case [against Davis] may not be ironclad.”  Davis filed an appeal and a petition with the US Supreme Court challenging the ruling but was recently denied.  Now, it is up to the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole to decide whether or not to commute his death sentence.  

With such extraordinary doubt in this case, we hope that you will consider signing on to Amnesty International’s petition asking for a commutation of Troy’s death sentence. An execution date could be set at any time so please  act quickly.

Sign the petition.

Tennessee Considering All Options for Executions

Tennessee Department of Corrections officials are facing tough decisions as they try to navigate death penalty statutes requiring lethal injection and the current shortage of sodium thiopental. Following the seizure of execution drugs by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, spokesperson for the Department of Corrections, Dorinda Carter, stated that “The commissioner isn’t prepared to discuss what will happen next. He is still reviewing our options.” Options for the state include switching to another drug or reverting to previous execution methods, such as hanging or electrocution. Neither option provides a simple solution as many drug manufacturers are refusing to sell the drugs used for executions and any change in method would have to be initiated in the legislature and meet constitutional requirements.

While opponents of the death penalty appreciate the recent lack of executions, they still hold that the arguments over lethal injection gloss over more systemic problems. Reverend Stacy Rector, commenting on the the current execution dilemma, stated, “It is a huge problem, but it doesn’t get at the real core issue, which is, can we as a society maintain the death penalty system given all of its problems? I think it’s just one more symptom of a huge problem that we don’t need to have. We could be spending our energy and our resources focusing more on helping murder victims’ families to heal.”

Tennessee State Representative Barrett Rich holds a drastically different view point, arguing, “What I want is to do whatever it takes to discourage people from killing people… If they want to paint us into the corner and stop us from having lethal injection, then I certainly have no problem with hanging or putting someone to death with a firing squad.” While Rich’s comments certainly display a great deal of emotion, the deterrence effect he is suggesting has little basis in available research.

A study found in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology reports that, “Eighty-eight percent of the country’s top criminologists do not believe the death penalty acts as a deterrent to homicide.” Generally, states without the death penalty have consistently lower murder rates than states with the death penalty. A New York Times review in 2000 of murder rates over the past 20 years found that the murder rate in states with the death penalty has been 48% to 101% higher than in non-death penalty states.  And, consistent with previous years, the 2006 FBI Uniform Crime Report showed that the South had the highest murder rate and accounts for over 80% of the  executions in the nation. The Northeast, which has less than 1% of executions, again had the lowest murder rate.

Criminal Justice Professor Margaret Vandiver of the University of Memphis in a recent interview with The City Paper (Nashville)  stated that, “since 1977, about one-fifth of 1 percent of homicides have resulted in an execution.”  Such an infinitesimal number of executions for all homicides in this country would make any possible deterrent effect unlikely given that the vast majority of those who murder do not receive a death sentence.

Regardless of the course Tennessee Department of Corrections officials choose to take, legal challenges and further delays ensure that the “justice” promised in our system will remain elusive and unsatisfactory.

Research Suggests Justifications for Capital Punishment Place Onus on Victim’s Family Members

In a recent edition of the Western Criminology Review, researchers Thomas J. Mowen and Ryan D. Schroeder propose that historic justifications for capital punishment, such as deterrence, savings, and safety, have been replaced by calls for retribution and closure. Citing numerous victim’s family member statements, Mowen and Schroeder argue that victim’s family members now expect to receive closure from a “uniform” court system that is unable to deliver “emotional satisfaction that is highly contextual and individualized.” Mowen and Schroeder also cite a 2007 study that reported only 2.5 percent of victim’s family members found “the execution of the offender actually gave true closure.” In closing the article, Mowen and Schroeder state that, “The American public continues to support capital punishment for the most atrocious crimes, mainly on the basis of promoting closure to victim’s families through retribution, but evolving victim clemency movements and the prior research on covictim closure through capital punishment both suggest that the contemporary justifications for the death penalty do not accord with lived experiences of covictims.”

Sister Helen Prejean Draws Hundreds at ETSU and UTK

On Thursday, over 200 students, teachers and community members gathered at East Tennessee State University to hear from Sister Helen Prejean, author of  Dead Man Walking, in an event sponsored by the ETSU chapter of Amnesty International and other local sponsors.

In her folksy, story-telling style, she wove her personal journey with the death penalty in and out of a critical assessment of the current system, lifting up the disproportionate impact on the poor and people of color, while highlighting the needs of murder victims’ families.

With a profound humility, she shared her own learning process on this journey, particularly from surviving family members of murder like Lloyd LeBlanc, whose only son, David, along with David’s girlfriend Loretta Ann Bourque, was murdered by the Sonnier brothers in Louisiana in 1977.  Sister Helen became Patrick Sonnier’s spiritual advisor, and, in the movie, he is the person upon whom the character of Matthew Ponchelet is based.

Sister Helen calls Lloyd Leblanc “her teacher.”  She recalls that during a court hearing for Patrick Sonnier, even in her attempt to avoid LeBlanc and the other parents of the victims for fear of their reaction to her, Lloyd LeBlanc found her in the hallway and questioned why she had never reached out to him or his wife.  Of course, she couldn’t imagine that they would have wanted to hear from her since she was serving as the spiritual advisor to one of the men who murdered their child.  Lloyd LeBlanc then asked her to pray with him and shared his deep belief in the need to forgive as well as his struggle to do so.  He stated to her that he had to learn to forgive so that “Patrick Sonnier won’t kill me too,” as all the hate and rage he was carrying was eating him alive and keeping him from living.  Lloyd LeBlanc’s story is a powerful witness to all those who hear the her tell it, and she calls him the hero of  Dead Man Walking.

The following day, Friday, April 8, Sister Helen spoke to a room of one hundred on the campus of University of Tennessee at a similar event, co-sponsored by the UT Chapter of Amnesty International, TADP,  and other organizations in the area.  Again, she mesmerized and moved the crowds with the honesty of her story and her troubling assessment of the death penalty in the United States.  A huge thanks to Jonathan Calloway of the ETSU Amnesty chapter as well as to Mary Findley, TADP board member and representative for Amnesty, for their great work to make both of these events such successes. And, thanks to all who attended and to Sister Helen for her work and witness.

David Kazcynski Speaks with Belmont Students about Mental Illness and the Death Penalty

Nearly 250 students gathered on March 30th at Belmont University for an event sponsored by NAMI TN and the Belmont Psychology Club featuring  David Kazcynski. David spent nearly an hour sharing about his brother Ted and the mental illness that would lead Ted Kaczynski to become known as the “Unabomber.”

During the presentation, David spoke about always knowing his big brother was special–given his intelligence and genius in the area of mathematics–and the extreme difficulty he and his family faced once they came to the realization that their brother, their son, could be the most wanted man in America.

While talking about his own experiences, he also spoke about of the nature of his brother’s illness and how, even at a very young age, Ted exhibited tendencies of what would later be diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia.  He also reflected on facing the decision to turn his brother in to authorities with his suspicions about Ted’s involvement in mail bombings that had been occurring for 17 years –a decision that he knew could lead to his brother’s death.  And, though the death penalty was sought in this case, Ted Kaczynski ultimately received life without the possibility of parole. He continues to live as a prisoner, not only of a supermax facility, but also of his own mind.  Ted cut off all ties to his family, and they have not seen him since the trial.

Students lined up with to speak with David following the event, some sharing personal stories of family members suffering with severe mental illness  and others commenting on how impacted they were by the presentation. David’s story reminds us that so many families are touched by mental illness and how we continue to execute people who struggle with such diseases.

David also appeared on the Channel 5 Plus show Morning Line.  See a portion of his interview here.

TADP Justice Day on the Hill Takes Message of Repeal to Lawmakers

Yesterday citizens from across the state took to the halls of the Tennessee legislature, speaking to lawmakers about why the death penalty in Tennessee should be repealed.  Participants included family members of murder victims as well as Paul House, released from Tennessee’s death after 23 years for a crime new evidence indicates he didn’t commit.  (Pictured above)

Participants also heard from Senator Beverly Marrero, sponsor of the legislation, as well as Representative Jeanne Richardson about the importance of the work for repeal and the impact of face-to-face meetings on legislators.  Senator Marrero and Representative Richardson encouraged participants to keep raising awareness and having the conversations with lawmakers as they believe, as we do, that Tennessee will eventually follow the lead of states like New Jersey, New Mexico, and most recently Illinois in repealing the death penalty.   

Twenty legislators received visits from participants, some for the first time, and each and every visit produced instructive dialogue and good questions. Members of both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees (the Committees through which the bill must ultimately pass) also received visits and were appreciative of the information and discussion. 

Even though we are in this for the long haul in Tennessee, these visits make a real impact, with participants seeing the effects of their conversations from year to year as more legislators learn about the system’s problems. TADP is already thinking about next year’s Justice Day and how to get more citizens involved.  Stay tuned for Justice Day 2012!

U.S. Supreme Court Rules in Favor of District Attorney’s Office in Louisiana Lawsuit

The United States Supreme Court ruled last week that the New Orleans District Attorney’s Office is not  liable for the 14 million dollars awarded John Thompson, a man wrongly convicted and sentenced to death. Thompson sued the New Orleans District Attorney’s Office after his attorney’s discovered prosecutors had withheld “10 pieces of exculpatory evidence” during Thompson’s initial trial, including DNA samples.

In spite of overwhelming evidence that the New Orleans District Attorney’s Office engaged in prosecutorial misconduct, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of the New Orleans District Attorney’s Office.  Writing for the majority, Justice Clarence Thomas stated, “there was no proof of a pattern of indifference in the DA’s office and that prosecutors, unlike police, do not need special training in such matters because they learn the rules in law school.”
