New Jersey Senate Approves Moratorium
The New Jersey Senate passed a bill today to suspend executions:
"By its action today, the Senate has signaled its deep concern with the State's current death penalty system and sent a clear message that the death penalty just does not work," said Celeste Fitzgerald, Director of New Jerseyans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, a statewide organization that advocates replacing the death penalty with life without parole."This vote underscores what a growing number of New Jerseyans have come to realize; the death penalty risks executing the innocent, is unfairly applied, fails victims' families and law enforcement, and wastes millions of taxpayer dollars," said Fitzgerald.

If ever there was a an argument "for" the death penalty it takes its shape in the form of Robert O. Marshall, former Tom's River, NJ insurance salesman who contracted for the murder of his wife Maria. He should have been "put down" a long time ago. There is no more heinous crime than paying someone else money to perform the act of murder - an act that he was far too cowardly to perform himself.
