Tuesday, June 14, 3pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

On Tuesday, June 14, 2022, at 3pm, we hope that you’ll join us for a one-hour webinar on the role that district attorneys play in capital cases, including how they can undo death sentences after they have been imposed, and how their policies can make our criminal justice system more fair, more humane, and less racist.

We’ll also discuss the statement from prosecutors, including two of our panelists, who have pledged to work toward the elimination of the death penalty. Signed by 57 elected prosecutors from around the country, the pledge was the result of the efforts of the Fair and Just Prosecution organization, and our third panelist, Fair and Just Prosecution Executive Director Miriam Krinsky, will discuss its importance. Stephen F. Rohde, DPF Board of Directors member and retired civil rights lawyer, will moderate this in-depth conversation with:

• George Gascón, District Attorney, Los Angeles County

• Mark Gonzalez, District Attorney, Nueces County, Corpus Christi, TX

• Miriam Krinsky, Executive Director, Fair and Just Prosecution

Hosted by Witness to Innocence, Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, Fair and Just Prosecution, Exonerated Nation, Eighth Amendment Project, and Death Penalty Focus.
