AUGUST 03, 2026 – Jennifer Stefano, former director of Americans for Prosperity Pennsylvania, makes the case against capital punishment in our new guest column on Substack. All eyes are on the Keystone State as House Bill 888, authored by Republican State Rep. Russ Diamond, makes its way through the legislature. The bill would end the death penalty in PA.
Excerpt:
“A society can permanently remove dangerous offenders from the public through life imprisonment while refusing to grant the government the irreversible power to deliberately end a human life. That distinction matters because governments are not infallible. Courts make mistakes. Prosecutors make mistakes. Evidence is mishandled. Witnesses are mistaken. Innocent people have been convicted of crimes they did not commit.”
