Moratorium on executions

Last year Joshua Kezer was found innocent of the murder of Mischelle Lawless after he had spent 15 years in prison. What if he had received the death penalty?

There are currently 48 men on death row in Missouri. The majority of these men could not afford their own attorney. What are we doing to ensure innocent people are not sentenced to death?

The Interfaith South East Moratorium on Executions would like to encourage all Missourians to write their legislators in support of a moratorium on executions until the death penalty is studied and found to be fairly administered.

For more information, please e-mail ifseme@showme.net or feel free to attend a meeting (7 p.m. every third Wednesday of the month at the Cape Girardeau Public Library).
