Issue quote: Kate Germond, on Innocence - Testimony before the New Jersey Death Penalty Study Commission. July 19, 2006
We cannot rely on the system to catch the errors, nor can we rely on the overburdened, not-for-profit organizations to save the ones that are innocent and in prison… Abolishing the death penalty will not ensure no innocent person will be convicted, but it would ensure that no innocent person will be killed by the state.
— Kate Germond, Centurion Ministries, an organization which has freed several innocent people from death row
