Opposing the Death Penalty
Click here for Alan's position on this and other pressing issues in PDF format.
Alan strongly opposes the death penalty. It is ineffective, costly, and just plain wrong. Studies by criminologists in multiple states tell us that the death penalty does not deter crime. Instead, death penalty trials and executions cost millions of dollars more per case than life imprisoenment-money we should spend on preventing crime and supporting the families of crime victims. The death penalty is biased against minorities, and each year DNA testing exonerates wrongly accused individuals. Alan trusts the security of our prisons, and believes the death penalty has no place in a 21st Century America.
