- Former
Illinois Governor and Exonerated Death
Row Inmate Visited Colorado in September
Coloradans
had the opportunity to hear about the
death penalty from two unique
and very different perspectives - that
of a man whose controversial decision
spared the lives of 167 death row inmates,
and that of a man who spent 17 years
on death row for a crime he didn’t
commit. CADP was pleased to sponsor the
Colorado appearances of Juan
Melendez, the 99th innocent person
to be freed from death row since 1973.
Juan Melendez and Mike Radelet were also
scheduled as guests on DCTV's "Speaking
Out" with Rich Andrews. The week
before, former Illinois Governor Ryan
and the filmmakers introduced the
film, Deadline,
which was followed by a panel discussion.
The film was shown in Denver and Boulder.
(10/1/04, CADP) - Legal
Tug-of-War Over Colorado Executions
Five
years later, juries have convicted all
three men of first-degree murder: Randy
Canister, Venda Johnson (also known as Trevon
Washington) and, this week, Dante Owens.
None has drawn a death sentence, due in large
part to the legal views of nine men and women
in black robes. ... The word both sides come
back to is "arbitrary." It is,
in many ways, the crux of America's death
penalty debate. Prosecutors say it's arbitrary
for the Supreme Court to keep changing the
rules. Opponents say the way states impose
death sentences is already arbitrary, and
the only way to fix that is to scrap executions
altogether. Everyone says the cases of Canister,
Johnson and Owens prove their point. (12/20/03,
