'I shall ask for the abolition of the punishment of death until I have the infallibility of human judgment demonstrated to me.'
-- The Marquis de Lafayette, speaking to the French Chamber of Deputies in 1830, years after witnessing the excesses of the French Revolution.
Mission
The Arizona Death Penalty Forum is dedicated to ending the death penalty in Arizona through education and advocacy.
We believe the death penalty must be abolished because:
-- Innocent people have been put to death across the country. Arizona’s justice system cannot guarantee that those sentenced to death are guilty.
-- Arizona’s justice system has a weak record. More than half of the state’s death sentences are overturned on appeal.
-- The death penalty carries a staggering cost. Millions of dollars spent on the pre-trial, trial and appeal process is taken away from other law enforcement, fire services and education.
-- The death penalty is immoral. “Thou shalt not kill” is a clear expression of God’s will.
