Activists speak against death penalty
BY SARA DEMANIGOLD
STAFF WRITER
Growing numbers of murder victims’
families oppose the death penalty across
the country. Since 1979 more than 340
people have been executed in the United
States, and that number is continuing to
grow steadily.
Murder Victims Families for Recon
ciliation tries to spread the message that
killing is wrong, but it can’t be justified by
another killing. “In society, we use the
death penalty as a quick way out,” said
Pat Qark, National Criminal Justice Rep
resentative from the American Friends
Service Committee.
The group proposes that instead of the
death penalty, inmates should serve
lengthy sentences without the option of
parole and should be required to make
restitution to the victims’ families.
The group told stories of how crime
had affected them at a forum Monday at
the Olin T. Binkley Baptist Church.

STATE & NATIONAL
Founded 20 years ago by Marie Deans
of Richmond, Va., after the death of a
family member, Murder Victims Fami
lies for Reconciliation provides a forum
for murder victims’ families who reject
the death penalty.
The group believes that killing should
not be answered by another act of vio
lence, but supports alternative solutions.
Currently, the group has an international
mailing list 0f4,000 supporters.
Members said they chose not to pass
the pain of losing a loved one on to
others. George White survived a brutal
attack in which his wife was murdered.
He was exonerated after serving two years
in prison for his wife’s murder. White
said he now views the death penalty in a
new light.
Although White was an innocent man
incorrectly accused of a crime, he said he
believed die death penalty was not the
answer. “Hate is a continuation and not
an end,” White said.
White, along with other participants
<2% Daily (Tar Heel
in the program, volunteers his time to
inform others about the death penalty.
The organization challenges citizens
to consider other available options to the
death penalty. White said capital punish
ment was not a solution to violence or
crime, but it took the focus off of the issue
at hand.
More than3,oooprisoners are on death
row in 38 states and 2 federal jurisdic
tions. Sam Reese Sheppard said, “The
death penalty business is manufacturing
dysfunctional people.”
At the age of 7, Sheppard lost his
mother. Soon after, his father was sent to
prison after being convicted of the sec
ond-degree murder of his wife. The cel
ebrated case was made into the popular
television show and movie, “The Fugi
tive.” Although Sheppard’s father was
wrongly accused, he spent over 10 years
in jail for a crime he did not commit.
“Public officials were under pressure
to get the offender and mistakes are made
with little recourse.”

DEBATE
FROM PAGE 1
“never met a tax he didn’t hike.”
Dole proposed that he could cut taxes
and balance the budget at the same time.
Wade said this plan was “ludicrous” and
impossible unless devastating cuts were
made in social spending.
However, Evans said the younger
people will be “the ones paying for more
deficits in the budget.”
Another presidential debate will take
place between Clinton and Dole on Oct.
16 in San Diego.
“Bob Dole will become more and more
aggressive,” Wade predicted. “He’ll be
more desperate as we move to the last 25
to 20 days, and this will turn off more of
his electorate.”
Doxtader, however, doubted that the
tone of the debate would change. “Dole
knows how far behind he is; if he comes
across as being a reactionary, it enforces
the fact that he is behind.”
