A coalition of diverse Christian leaders across the United States have intensified their fight this week against the death penalty, arguing that the state has the right to take the life of another.
“We have to look at the death penalty for what it really is. Justice is not often done at our state system because over 83% of court cases held in death penalty cases were reversed when they had a chance to be review by the federal courts,” said Helen Prejean, the Catholic nun made famous in the film “Dead Man Walking.”
