Albert Burrell spent 13 years on death row in Louisiana, wrongfully condemned for a murder he did not commit. He was exonerated in 2001. The @WTIUSA family lost a cherished brother on November 25. May he rest in peace. witnesstoinnocence.org/singl… @uscedp @JusticesPromise @LaRepeal

Pope Leo XIV says someone who is against abortion but in favor of the death penalty is “not really pro-life.” “Someone who says I'm against abortion but says I'm in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life.” “So someone who says that I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life.”

In the past 25 years, the number of Americans who believe the death penalty is morally acceptable has declined by 7 percentage points. Only one other practice has had a larger decline in moral acceptability over that time period: medical testing on animals. @8thAmendmentPro
