Justice: The Death Penalty in Alabama
Of
all the actions carried out by the state, none warrants more
cautious implementation and stringent review than the imposition
of the death penalty.
Yet
in Alabama, this most solemn responsibility remains fraught with
inconsistencies and inequities. The structure of the state's
criminal justice system and the power given to its trial and
appellate judges compromise and limit the ability of capital
defendants to get a fair trial and appropriate sentencing.
As part of our work in the defense of civil
liberties, the ACLU issues reports that study and note developments
in civil liberties. Visit
