On May 24, a blog post by Bishop Bill McAlilly, bishop of the Nashville Episcopal Area of the United Methodist Church, set off a wave of activity as he raised his concerns about the reinstatement of the electric chair in Tennessee.

Bishop McAlilly cited scriptural evidence from John’s gospel (Jn 8. 1-11), where Jesus encounters the woman caught in adultery and offers his position on capital punishment. Further, McAlilly reminded Methodists of their official denominational position against the death penalty, as detailed in the Book of Discipline, and he summarized his overall stance, thusly: “The problem with the death penalty is not whether lethal injection or the electric chair is more or less cruel. The problem is that it ignores the sacred worth of all human beings, and suggests that there are people unable and unworthy of redemption.” Bishop McAlilly concluded with a charge, adding, “I urge the people called United Methodist across the state to be in contact with their elected leaders to express our church’s opposition to the death penalty.”

Three days later, nearly seventy United Methodist clergy from West Tennessee and Nashville gathered at legislative plaza for a time of worship, including singing, prayers, silence, and a brief homily. The rather impromptu gathering has sparked plans for more worship services, deeper engagement with elected officials, and potentially a resurgent showing of Tennessee clergy willing to publicly challenge death penalty policies.

Thursday night, May 22, Governor Bill Haslam signed into law a bill that would make the electric chair the execution method in Tennessee  if lethal injection drugs were not available.

A new poll from Vanderbilt reveals that the majority of registered voters in Tennessee support the use of the electric chair for executions.  Not surprising given that the electric chair bill breezed through the legislature with very little opposition. However, it’s the margin by which citizens support the electric chair that is noteworthy. When asked “Do you support or oppose using the electric chair for state executions?” thirty-eight percent opposed, while 56 percent supported (six percent answered “don’t know”/no answer). These figures are strikingly similar to the national numbers demonstrating slipping support for the death penalty, shown by Gallup (60 percent) and Pew Forum (55 percent).

One could assume that the overall support for the death penalty in Tennessee exceeds fifty-six percent, but by how much? If these recent poll numbers also reflect, at least to some degree, how Tennesseans feel about the death penalty generally, then 56% is far lower than what one might expect–a sign that the public is turning on the death penalty.

The reality is that the death penalty’s popularity is in decline,  particularly among younger Christians according to a poll by the Barna Group. Furthermore, as extreme methods are employed, or as executions are botched, the more average citizens are compelled to engage the issue.

Though the specter of returning to the electric chair should deeply trouble Tennesseans, we should also be deeply troubled by the possibility that one of 25 people who received death sentences over the last thirty years is innocent, as recently reported in an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. We should be troubled that the vast majority of inmates on Tennessee death row were too poor to hire their own attorneys at trial and that a person is three times more likely to get a death sentence in Tennessee if the victim is white.  We should be troubled that our state is spending millions to maintain this system, and now will spend even more to litigate yet another controversial method of execution–money we are not spending on victims’ services, or to support Tennesseans with intellectual and developmental disabilities, or to educate our children.  We should be troubled that the signing of this bill will only further complicate the process and tangle up victims’ families in more legal wrangling.

But as troubled as we are, we are also even more motivated to educate Tennesseans about these problems and to watch support of  this system continue to falter.  Though we must be prepared as some ardent supporters of the death penalty engage in drastic tactics to shore the system up–like bringing back the electric chair–the truth is the system itself is dying and will not ultimately survive.  We can do better than this in Tennessee, and together, we will.

The Clayton Lockett botched execution in Oklahoma stands as a seminal moment in the 21^st century death penalty debate. While the responses to the execution were legion, one interesting development was the national media’s focus on conservative voices opposed to the death penalty. This emerging number of conservatives presents an opportunity for new, broader coalitions on abolishing the death penalty than perhaps any other moment in U.S. history.

Notably, conservative stalwart Oliver North has voiced in a recent interview his concerns about the death penalty on grounds of innocence and whether or not it actually deters violent crime. North’s name recognition holds great sway within his political party, and his support signals how the issue is no longer the radioactive position it once may have been for conservatives.

Even Newsweek has taken note of this trending movement on the political landscape, featuring Marc Hyden of Conservatives Concerned about the Death Penalty in a recent article. Hyden’s work can be felt throughout the nation, the fruits of which help produce editorials such as this one from North Carolina Conservatives Concerned member and the chairman of the Nash County Republican Party, Mark Edwards.

Even retiring Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn, who is also a physician, expressed that while he believes the death penalty is a deterrent (without citing any research), he admitted, “I don’t like it. I wish we put everybody that had such a history as this gentleman [Lockett] behind bars working and doing things that would help them.” Coburn’s tepid support for the death penalty reveals the potential for substantial gains for death penalty organizations.

The national conversation is ripe for bipartisan people, who seek common ground upon which to end a practice that is unfairly applied, radically expensive, and too often, does not shield the innocent from prosecutorial mistakes. This same spirit of cooperation is taking hold in Tennessee, and we at TADP eagerly seek out new partners in this work.

This week, in the wake of the botched execution of Clayton Lockett, two Latino evangelical leaders expressed their concerns over the future of capital punishment in the United States.

Samuel Rodriguez is a pastor in Sacramento and also serves as president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference(NHCLC). Rodriguez addresses the issue of capital punishment through the concept of the Imago Dei, a theological concept that all people are created in the image of God and that all life must be protected. His response can be read here.

Gabriel Salguero pastors The Lamb’s Church in New York City and is president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition (NaLEC). Salguero focuses on criminal justice system reforms extending to the death penalty. Salguero’s response can be found here.

These two distinct voices not only present a spectrum of Latino responses to the death penalty but also serve as a reminder of the ways communities of color are disproportionately affected by capital punishment and their growing concern about the system’s failures.

Last night, while most of us sat down for dinner or settled in for the evening, the state of Oklahoma seemed to be concluding its most recent battle over the death penalty with the first of two scheduled executions for the night.

At 6:23 PM (CST) Clayton Lockett lay strapped to a gurney to be executed by lethal injection for the murder of 19-year old Stephanie Nieman. At 7:06 PM, forty-three minutes later, Lockett was pronounced dead due to a heart attack, and Charles Warner, the second inmate to be executed, was granted a stay for fourteen days.

The botched execution highlights the national problem with lethal injection, drug secrecy, and the disastrous consequences of state governmental dysfunction.  Oklahoma lawmakers believed Lockett’s execution, right or wrong, would mark the end of the bitter battle between Oklahoma’s branches of government: a battle marked by infighting between the state supreme court and lower courts, a move to impeach the supreme court justices by state legislators, and ultimately, Governor Mary Fallin’s order to proceed with the execution despite the court’s ruling. Instead, Oklahoma opened the proverbial Pandora’s box of utterly predictable consequences.

Regardless of one’s feeling on the death penalty, Americans must decide if they approve of an inmate’s execution becoming a “human science experiment.” Here in Tennessee, with ten executions looming and lethal injection secrecy laws similar to Oklahoma’s, we are confronted by the same possibility of botched executions. The prospect of expensive challenges to the state’s secrecy law, coupled with the specter of experimental drug cocktails – all carried out under the guise of due process – is a recipe for legislative gridlock and governmental incompetence. The Tennessee state legislature’s recent passage of a bill bringing back the electric chair as a means of executing individuals if drugs cannot be procured only demonstrates the level of desperation states are feeling as this system continues to crumble.

Andrew Cohen claims in his brilliant article for the Atlantic:

In killing Clayton Lockett this way, state officials thus elevated a convicted murderer to a status he surely did not deserve in life or would have ever obtained had his execution been preceded by acceptable levels of due process….  Oklahoma turned him into a symbol.

A symbol of what? Many things. What happened last night was the inevitable result of a breakdown in government in Oklahoma, where frustration at the continuing delay in the resolution of Lockett’s case blinded state officials to the basic requirements of due process.

The potential for many more Clayton Lockett’s exist, so long as states are not required to divulge the source and composition of their lethal injection drugs. This is a stark reality all Tennesseans should prepare themselves for as an October execution date rapidly approaches.

“The great majority of innocent people who are sentenced to death are never identified and freed,” so says University of Michigan Law School professor Samuel Gross, lead author of a study to account for those defendants who are innocent, yet not exonerated.

Gross and others published the article under the title “Rate of false conviction of criminal defendants who are sentenced to death” and it was released to the public on Monday. According to their findings, an estimated 4 percent of inmates receiving a death sentence or executed have actually been innocent. They estimate that with enough time and resources to review the innocence claims of inmates another 200 prisoners would have been freed over the thirty year period they studied (1974-2004).

One of the most interesting claims of the study concerns those who are not sentenced to death: The authors surmise that there is likely an even higher rate of innocence for this population, simply put, because the stakes are lowered when death is not sought. The authors put the matter starkly for the vast majority of innocent defendants who are neither executed nor exonerated: “They are sentenced, or resentenced to prison for life, and then forgotten.”

This study raises disturbing questions for Tennessee:  With our state fully complying with only seven of the 93 American Bar Association guidelines for a fair and accurate system and with four wrongfully convicted men now free after spending years on death row, how many more innocent people remain on Tennessee’s death row? Are any of the ten men that the state has scheduled to execute actually innocent? With this new evidence of the scope of our system’s dysfunction, how can we resume executions?

As Christians prepare for Good Friday, Tennessee’s legislature is marking the occasion by making the electric chair the state’s method of execution if lethal injection is deemed unconstitutional or if the essential ingredients to carry out the lethal injection process are unavailable.

Needless to say the irony of the passage of the “Capital Punishment Enforcement Act” during the same week Jesus himself was executed by a Roman capital punishment enforcement act is profound. And the fact this action comes the same week that New Hampshire’s legislature is closer than ever to repeal only compounds the irony.

It would be easy for those of us in Tennessee who long for the death penalty’s demise to lose heart given this bill’s passage.  But we shouldn’t.

This tragic attempt to “fix” the system actually demonstrates exactly what we have been saying: citizens are growing more and more  frustrated with the state of the death penalty system and want to see change. However, this particular change is likely to only make things worse, creating an even longer and more expensive process with the inevitable litigation that will accompany this legislation.

In fact, such legislative “fixes” aren’t unprecedented in other states that have finally repealed the death penalty.

In 1995, Connecticut passed legislation that attempted to speed up the death penalty process and make the system more workable.  It did neither, and frustration continued until repeal was achieved in 2012.

In 2009, the Maryland legislature attempted to make sure the death penalty did not result in the execution of an innocent person. The result was a system that did not limit this risk but instead allowed death penalty prosecutions on cases that involved only certain types of evidence–cases that were not necessarily the worst of the worst. Murder victims’ families continued to be divided and drawn through an endless process, and according to law enforcement, the death penalty was not very workable. Maryland repealed its death penalty last year.

What this bill does is remind us that we must rededicate ourselves to educating Tennesseans about why such ill-advised legislation only makes things worse.  There is simply no fixing the death penalty, and the sooner our lawmakers figure that out, the better off our state will be.

Why should we care whether or not unquestionably guilty men were tried and convicted under the specter of racial injustice?

Simply put, because in the state of North Carolina and around the country, such injustice means the difference between life and death.

This week the North Carolina Supreme Court heard arguments concerning the fate of four death row inmates whose sentences had been reduced following the passage of the state’s Racial Justice Act in 2009. Before its repeal in 2013, the law allowed defendants to challenge their conviction on the grounds that racial bias had affected their prosecution and sentencing. Jurors may be struck for any number of factors; however, a Michigan State study found race to be “substantial factor” in striking potential jurors in 173 death penalty cases in North Carolina.

According to Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC), when these inmate challenges were heard in 2012 it was revealed by the defendants’ attorneys that some Cumberland County (the site for eleven death penalty trials) prosecutors

“…took racially charged notes during the jury selection process (noting, for example, that one juror was a “black wino”). Cumberland prosecutors also participated in a training seminar, sponsored by the N.C. Conference of District Attorneys, where prosecutors from across North Carolina were taught ways to get around the law barring them from striking jurors based on race.”

With the repeal of the Racial Justice Act, the state of North Carolina is now seeking to reinstate the previous death sentences for Marcus Robinson, Tilmon Golphin, Quintel Augustine, and Christina Walters. If this legal maneuver succeeds, then does this not esentially codify racial discrimination in jury selection?

And such discrimination is not limited to North Carolina. In 2011, Equal Justice Initiative released a report on racial discrimination in jury selection.  The report looked at the jury selection processes in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee, and found shocking evidence of such racial discrimination in every one of these states.

Regardless of one’s opinion about the death penalty, if it is to be fairly applied, there can be no bias concerning who gets the death penalty or who decides who gets the death penalty.  Sadly, this is another area where the system falls short. It is time for the courts not only to acknowledge the discrimination involved in the current system but to address it.  Letting these new sentences stand in North Carolina seems like a place to start.

New Hampshire’s Senate Judiciary Committee passed a recommendation by a 3-2 vote to repeal the death penalty. The NH House voted last month by a count of 225-104 in favor of repeal. All eyes now turn to the state senate’s 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats who vote next Thursday (April 17) on the measure. Governor Maggie Hassan has already said that if the measure passes she would sign it into law, making New Hampshire the nineteenth state to abolish the death penalty.

With the help of murder victims’ families, Maryland repealed the death penalty last year, becoming the 18th state that does not have a death penalty statute.  In light of the savings made possible by repealing the death penalty,  repeal advocates worked with victims’ advocates, whose opinions about repeal differed, to urge Maryland to do more for murder victims’ families. Unanimous votes on the companion legislation in both chambers revealed the common ground between pro- and anti-repeal lawmakers that these victims’ families need more support.  On April 5, with the passage of the 2015 fiscal year budget, Maryland  dedicated a half million dollars for support and services to these family members. Maryland is the second state in the country after Illinois to reallocate savings from death penalty repeal to improve services for victims’ families.

This budgetary flexibility has emerged directly from the state’s savings from the death penalty.  Shari Silberstein, Executive Director of Equal Justice USA, stated, “Without the death penalty to distract and divide us, it was easy to find common ground. Lawmakers and advocates all agree that victims matter.” Murder victims families were critical in the work to repeal Maryland’s death penalty and  their efforts have now .

Bonnita Spikes, whose husband Michael Spikes was murdered in 1994, was one of the leading advocates calling for death penalty repeal and funding for victims’ services as a member of the broad coalition.

Please thank the Governor and key lawmakers who made passage of this legislation possible.
