Military veterans are urging Gov. DeSantis to halt tomorrow’s scheduled execution of William Reaves, who served in Vietnam. “Jurors were asked to decide whether a veteran should live or die without being told what the war had done to him.” washingtonpost.com/politics/…

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

The attempted execution of Christa Pike is being described as out of sorts and abnormally long. Pike spoke about pain in her arm, and she was heard whimpering and snoring. Witnesses say they could still her breathing when they were ushered out of the viewing area.

Curtis Beasley is scheduled for execution in Florida tomorrow. His appeal raises an important point: who gets executed rests solely in the fate of one man. It’s hard to imagine something more arbitrary than that. Take action: bit.ly/SpareBeasley

Gov. DeSantis has signed a death warrant William Lee Thompson, setting his execution for October 13 at 6pm. Bill was sentenced to death for the 1976 murder of Sally Ivester in Dade county. There are currently two executions scheduled in Florida: Curtis Beasley on September 29, and Bill Thompson on October 13. If carried out, they will be the 16th and 17th executions in the state this year. We will have more information next week. For now, please take a moment to sign the petition for Mr. Thompson here: bit.ly/SpareThompson
