On May 25th Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed into law a bill that shortens the state death penalty appeals process. Ironically named the "Fair Justice Act," many worry this bill will likely result in more injustice and further brokenness in Alabama's death penalty. By placing time limits on how long death row prisoners have to prove their innocence or a wrongful conviction, this legislation increases the risk of executing innocent people as well as those who received improper or poor counsel. Take action in Alabama and raise your voice for life by getting involved and contacting your elected officials!
