Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Forty years ago, several of us supported the crafting of Ohio’s death penalty law, believing it would be a fair and just system.

Seeing it in operation has convinced us it is not.

We urge the Ohio legislature to repeal what we helped wrought.
