Monday, October 11, 4:30-6pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

A Death Row Survivor and a Professor of Law share their personal experiences with capital punishment and how they plan to end it.

About this event

Ray Krone was sentenced to death for a murder he did not commit. Ray’s conviction was due in part to the prosecution’s use of “junk science.” District Attorneys still use faulty forensic evidence to convict people who are innocent. The newly-emerging science of DNA proved that he was not guilty of the crime and helped to identify the real killer. Ray is the co-founder of Witness to Innocence, the organization that helps to empower death row exonerees to share their individual experiences as they fight to end the use of capital punishment.

Akin Adepoju is a criminal defense attorney who has handled cases from pre-arrest through trials, appeals, and even to the U.S. Supreme Court. He is also an adjunct faculty member at the University of the District of Columbia School of Law. Akin is Chair of the Board of Directors at Pennsylvanians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty.

Both men are fighting to end the death penalty. Hear their stories, ask questions, and be inspired.

Rebecca Diaz has organized this event as her project for her Gold Award, the highest level of achievement in the Girl Scouts of America. Becca will be moderating the panel discussion.

A question-and-answer period will follow, along with an opportunity to take action.

This is a free event; members of the public are encouraged to attend.

Hosted by Amnesty International USA, Atlantic Center for Capital Representation, NAACP York, Pennsylvanians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, and Witness to Innocence.
