Conservative firebrand and author Michelle Malkin has lent her voice to the growing number of conservatives now opposing the death penalty.

In recent months, Malkin has penned a series of heavy-hitting, thought-provoking articles examining the nation’s record of wrongful convictions, prosecutorial misconduct, and other injustices. Recently she tweeted that due to her work and consequential awareness of the flaws within the system, she is no longer supporting the death penalty.

I will ALWAYS support America's best & bravest LEOs.

But after having my eyes opened to systemic corruption of our criminal (in)justice system at the hands of bad detectives, incompetent PD crime labs & out-of-control prosecutors, I no longer support the death penalty. https://t.co/omblzrCp7x
