Please co-sponsor HB 48, abolition of the death penalty. Commuting murder convictions to life without parole resolves the flaws identified by the American Bar Association and others.

Why is this important?

Legislation (HB 48) is being introduced to end capital punishment. In its crowded, 30-day session, the Kentucky state house will consider public support for doing away with capital punishment. Murder will become a Class A Felony punishable by life without parole or life without parole for 25 years.
