À l’époque de l’Empire romain, la peine de mort est pratiquée dans toutes les provinces occupées, dont la Judée. La crucifixion est la forme la plus brutale de la peine capitale. Elle est réservée aux esclaves et aux non-citoyens, aux personnes les plus pauvres.

Condamné à mort par le préfet romain Ponce Pilate, Jésus de Nazareth est crucifié avec deux malfaiteurs, l’un à sa droite, l’autre, à sa gauche (Mc 15, 27.32 ; Mt 27, 38.44 ; Lc 23,33.39-48).

Walter Ogrod was convicted of murder in 1992 and coerced into confessing to a crime he didn’t commit. He sat on death row for 20 yrs trying to clear his name. Luckily, he was able to and was released in July.
Walter is just one of many who have been exonerated from death row.
Walter is just one of many who have been exonerated from death row.
172 people have been found innocent and released from death row since 1973. That’s an average of 3.5 wrongfully convicted people exonerated each year. How many are not being exonerated? How many people are still being unjustly sentenced to death every year?
As we know from stories like Walter Ogrod, the justice system makes mistakes and willfully prosecutes innocent people.
The system is not foolproof. The cost is too high. We need to #EndTheDeathPenalty
