In the mornings, before I leave the house to come and work at Death Penalty Focus, I listen to NPR. I was struck this morning, when I heard not zero, not one, but TWO pieces on the death penalty in the span of about 20 minutes. As someone who listens to NPR regularly and follows death penalty news, I am pleased to hear about it more frequently on the radio.
The first piece was about the proposed horrific legislation in Uganda that would punish homosexual activity with capital punishment. More information about about the proposed bill can be found on NPR.
The second piece, lengthy for morning news - 4 minutes, 32 seconds, to be exact - discusses the use of the death penalty by the federal Justice Department. Listen to this piece by Ari Shapiro here.
