Supreme Court is ready to give execution dates
According to Attorney John Simon, execution dates for Russell Bucklew and John J. Middleton, may be forthcoming. John is now the attorney for these two and is fighting like hell to get the legal issues out that have been buried. With the execution doctor in place and the pens in the hands of the justices to sign the death order, we should expect that it won’t be long before we hear the cranking up of the death machine.
North Carolina man exonerated
Last month, Levon “Bo” James was release after 14 years on death row for a crime he did not commit. We wish Levon and his family the best as he starts his new life. He is yet another example of why we need to abolish the death penalty.
Candidate for Governor is opposed to the death penalty
Last week, we reported that all the candidates for attorney general were gun-ho about the death penalty. We need to correct that. Madeline Coburn is a gubernatorial candidate who strongly opposes executions. Madeline issued a press statement to that effect which did not make the news from what we could see or hear.
