Abolish the Death Penalty is a blog dedicated to...well, you know.
The purpose of Abolish is to tell the personal stories of crime victims and their loved ones, people on death row and their loved ones and those activists who are working toward abolition. You may, from time to time, see news articles or press releases here, but that is not the primary mission of Abolish the Death Penalty. Our mission is to put a human face on the debate over capital punishment.

Newton gets a stay!!!
Gov. Rick Perry has accepted the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and granted Frances Newton a 120-day reprieve so that her lawyers can continue to investigate her case.
This is wonderful news. There will be no execution tonight.
