Reply to comment by [deleted] in Governor Shapiro vows to "not issue any execution warrants during my term as Governor". Also urges Assembly to abolish death penalty. by Canopenerdude

Hi, I'm a pro-life Republican who vehemently opposes capital punishment not only because it takes a life, but primarily because the persons convicted and sentenced to death are far too often later exonerated and the death penalty itself is disproportionately applied to minorities.

The death penalty is more often applied when the victims are white. That’s really the racial bias. Black people are not given the death sentence more than whites.
