Last month, 13 death row exonorees from Witness to Innocence came to Delaware to share their stories and speak out for repeal of the death penalty. Audiences across the state were moved to hear their heart-wrenching stories of years wrongfully spent on death row.
“Each exoneree’s story reminds us why this campaign is so important,” said Brian Boyle of the Delaware Repeal Project. As long as Delaware continues to use the death penalty, we run the risk of executing an innocent person. That’s why Senate Bill 19 deserves a vote in the House.”
Delaware’s State Senate passed repeal legislation last year, but it’s been held up in a House committee ever since.
