Death Penalty Study
Show # 905

The Legislature has said “no” to a moratorium on executions in New Jersey, but if the Senate agrees with an Assembly move, there will be a new commission named to study the costs, effects, fairness and risks of capital punishment. In Sandy’s tape piece, we meet a man who spent years on Pennsylvania’s death row before being cleared; the brother of Ted Kaczynski, who turned his brother in to keep him off of death row, and a New York Law School professor, who says the death penalty is a plus in a civilized society.
