Conservatives Concerned about the Death Penalty is referenced in a recent op-ed written by death-row exoneree, Ray Krone, in the Daily Caller. Krone shared his background and how he was wrongly convicted. He said,
Before this happened to me, I supported the death penalty. Fry ‘em. They don’t deserve to live. All that sounds different when people are talking about you and you were at home asleep at the time of a brutal murder.
He went on to say,
A growing number of Americans, including conservatives, libertarians, and groups like Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, no longer trust the government to get the death penalty right. For conservatives, capital punishment is not compatible with limited government, especially when capital cases often cost 10 to 20 times more than murder trials that don’t involve the death penalty.
